Is this thing worth 2G in Alberta?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Deuce · 12-24-2007, 08:28 PM

I really want to make a 1964-66 SWB and was thinking about cutting this one down.

Is is supposed to have next to nothing for rust and be pretty straight.

Slmd92DIME · 12-24-2007, 09:17 PM

What kinda motor and trans? I would def give that for it though.. I saw some front fender rust but other than that looks really good. I wish mine came in that kinda shape

Rebuilt 283 and 3 spd std.

This guy bought it from the estate of the original owner and hasn't registered or insured it so it's legally a 1 owner truck.

If it runs and drives and the pass-side looks as good as the drivers then that's a good price.

I'd buy it. Looks pretty solid from pics anyway.

63sbssbbw · 12-25-2007, 01:07 PM

I'll snap it up
Definitely a great starting point
How are the cab supports?,lower rad support?
You know, all the usual suspects

Now I just need to talk you into cutting down the box sides.

I haven't seen the truck in person as it's somewhere in Lethbridge. Looks like I'll be going for a drive.

The guy is 65 years old and won't budge on the 2G so I think I'll have to bite the bullit as they are getting harder and harder to find here.

Hillbilly Deluxe 65 · 12-26-2007, 02:47 PM

yea i hear that sacrifices must be made aha

56 chevy_man · 02-07-2008, 10:44 AM

Just searched alberta to see who was local on here, came across this post, did anyone ever buy this truck?

*LILRED66* · 02-07-2008, 12:00 PM

Appears to be a good, solid base model truck. Although there are no bells & whistles, ie, chrome grille, chrome bumpers, body molding, Custom Cab sails, chrome windshield wrap, chrome dash knobs, gauges in dash cluster or Custom steering wheel. That being said, all of these things can be added to a good, solid, rust-free truck.

Make it happen for 2K.

ryan913 · 02-07-2008, 12:09 PM

What seems high today will be a deal tomorrow!

gulfcoast66 · 02-07-2008, 04:06 PM

thats a fair deal for an all orignal rust free truck. ill take two too go please

*LILRED66* · 02-07-2008, 07:27 PM

If I saw it local for that price, I would snatch it up. If it starts, runs and drives...bonus.

Damn, he looks good for 65. Musta lived a good life.

*LILRED66* · 02-07-2008, 08:06 PM

Funny...

283 Man · 02-07-2008, 10:12 PM

Good looking GMC!!!

Tim64 · 02-07-2008, 10:35 PM

Looks like a nice truck to me, but I don't think I'd take a saw to her. If a short bed is what you want I think you should wait until you find one. That truck just looks too good to cut up, at least for me.

*LILRED66* · 02-08-2008, 01:47 AM

Trucks did an episode on shortening a lwb fleetside to a swb fleetside...that seems to be the popular thing to do now. This conversion has been done a long time before this episode, however, it seems that took it mainstream.

Although the production numbers of the lwb fleetsides were much higher than the swb fleetsides, they are still available. I have a few.

I agree! That things is way to nice to put under the knife. It definitely looks worth every bit of $2000 to me. Looks to be a very well taken care of truck. The absence of rust is a big plus!

283 Man · 02-08-2008, 02:33 AM

she to pretty to be cut up looks very well taken care of over the years.
