First off I'm new to this site and have been coming here for the last week.
Every year my Snow bird buddy leaves his '71 chevy here for me to keep in my spare building for winter. I decided to put in my shop and look the thing over and fix some things.... So I rebuilt the steering column to correct the slop trans linkage, lights ,horn etc. Still the linkage was sloppy so I re-worked the lower end and it is now like new. The brake booster was bad so I replaced it and the MC. Went to bleed the brakes and decided to pull off the rear drums and the brakes were shot plus drums... So I call my ole 70 year old buddy in Florida and say " Bob, other than gas and oil what have you done for this truck?" Bob says "Not much, make me an offer on it!" We haggald an I got it for $3600, Rebuilt trans and engine with 1500 miles maybe, new Goodyear widefoots and custom wheels. Soooo deal or no deal? Thanks, Richard |

Re: Did I do good?
It pays to be a good buddy and let your friend store his truck in your garage. I think you just got what you deserve for being a nice guy. Yuo always get repaid for doing the right thing. Good luck with you new truck, welcome to the board, and send more pics when you make upgrades.
