Oh, man...

Clean looking ride better get out the crow bar for the check book.. You can go look at it,it never hurts to just go and look...

Andy4639 · 01-08-2008, 06:23 AM

What are these?

Nice looking except for those tanks in the bed.

Bishops Trucks · 01-08-2008, 06:31 AM

C'mon man, you can't take it with you. Open that checkbook.

Longhorn Man · 01-08-2008, 06:46 AM

notice he drivers side rocker, and there are no photos of the passenger side.
For Cali, thatmay be a rust bucket. For the rest of the world, it does look awesome.

kaycee · 01-08-2008, 06:46 AM

Nice, except for the goober gas tank job

ChevyDude · 01-08-2008, 06:56 AM

Looks like a nice Truck. I grew up in Santa Barbara, lived there for 38 years, tons of friends there, parents still live there!!!

**special-K** · 01-08-2008, 07:08 AM

It was painted from the nice medium blue and had the Sierra side markers added.It ain`t a bad truck.

ChevLoRay · 01-08-2008, 08:28 AM

Yeah, good thing it's in CA. Oh, it ain't no problem for me to leave it in CA. I don't like the paint.

Kixwy2 · 01-08-2008, 08:38 AM

Ok, well, check out what's usually on here:

http://slo.craigslist.org/car/528476739.html

so the first truck ain't so bad!

corn · 01-08-2008, 09:05 AM

Nice old GMC, $5500 seems pretty high to me but Im way out of the loop on todays prices...

sick69 · 01-08-2008, 09:41 AM

go get it you know you want to. Go look at it. Take the check book in case you need gas on the way back!

Longhorn Man · 01-08-2008, 09:51 AM

LOL frank... you're tryin to get someone in trouble huh!

Rokcrln · 01-08-2008, 09:55 AM

So go look at it but leave the check book at home! Just stop by the bank for cash on the way

Would make for a good starting point if that is what you are going for.

Don't want to slam.... 3K truck !!!!

I figure the white truck is worth $6000 (67 short fleet). Here are some pictures of it for comparison. It is not a show truck. It is a driver and has a few minor flaws. Power brakes have been added since pics.

What's up with the rocker panel and bottom of the front fender? I have relatives in Atascadero and Pismo and i've saw some real rust buckets from the salt air.

Kixwy2 · 01-08-2008, 04:30 PM

That's a good question... plus a lot of the 4x4's go out onto the dunes in Oceano and get pretty torn up. I usually see lots of beaters and ones that have been hacked for off roading. Even mine has some cancer on the floor panels.

This blue one looks damn good in comparison...

manimal · 01-09-2008, 05:53 AM

I think you can do ALOT better than that for $5500. I have seen MANY nice rust free trucks for thousands less. Find something that needs paint and have it painted. Then you'll know what you have and there wont be any "SURPRISES". JMO
