Found a deal on an 83 I couldn't let go...$200. It is all there less an engine and tranny, but I have a few extras around. We'll see what develops.

mhicks · 02-27-2006, 04:28 PM

Can't beat that!!!!!

evan · 02-27-2006, 04:54 PM

I envy you. That's exactly what I've been looking for.

The guy I got it from decided to remove his Grant wheel with a hammer rather than a puller, so I may be looking for a new column. I do need a steering wheel if anybody knows anybody...it doesn't have to be correct.

how come its someone else that allways finds the great deals? I'm jelous.

ElGracho · 02-27-2006, 10:12 PM

That was the deal of the century. Black interior? Hell the seat belts are worth more than you paid for the whole truck.

Good on ya! I can't wait to see what you do!

**N2TRUX** · 02-27-2006, 10:17 PM

Great deal! Looks like a little cleaning and polishing will go a long way.

SWB for $200 that is a deal. I am going to pick up an 81' LWB that is all orginal down to the push button Delco radio this Saturday for $900. The only thing wrong with it are the brakes. I will post up some pics once I get it home.

Heh...that radio was in the bed of the truck too. Too bad he cut up the hole where it goes. Maybe I can make it look ok.

I was thinking to myself were in the world would I get a new radio that had the old posts? All the ones you see in the stores are flat all the way across. No demand for them anymore I guess except for the ones for classic mustangs.

$200, was it stolen? Nice deal. It looks like a great start to a project.

79BIG10 · 03-01-2006, 02:12 AM

$200!! That's a hell of a deal man! I wish I could stumble across something like that.

bojoe · 03-01-2006, 09:13 AM

Looks nice, for $200 that's a heck of a deal. The body looks to be in decent shape. You always got to love the screw ups people do to things. Should have asked him if the 5 piece hammer set went with the truck.

87 STEPPER · 03-01-2006, 09:14 AM

That's 1 helluva deal you got there buddy!

What part of Ky. r u in?

I'm close to Elizabethtown...you know, the one that has the retarded movie.

Plans.... hmmmm.... I've been so busy working on my 97 project truck ($800 bucks for that one) that I really haven't thought of any. Probably just stick a 350/350 in it for now and drive it. It'll get wheels as one of the first things. Maybe do some bodywork and paint in my spare time.

bigarmzz · 03-02-2006, 10:48 PM

nice truck for the $$$ thats for darnnnn sure
