This truck is about 20 min from me. It's a rust bucket. But for the running gear is it a good deal? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/car/773534846.html

Same here and if for no other reason that I'd have bought it.

1bad chevy · 08-04-2008, 07:08 AM

that is in better shape than what we out here start with either way i'd buy it in a heartbeat if not any faster

It looks like a steal to me. If it were closer like others said I would have already bought it.

Neither of my trucks were in that good of shape when I bought them and I paid more than $600 each and neither of them had a BB.

Around here a running big block sells for at least $600 depending on the condition.

PanelDeland · 08-04-2008, 10:40 AM

Call and try to buy a running BB core for that.The running gear ought to be worth that and whatever else is on it is just extry.

Longhorn Man · 08-04-2008, 04:42 PM

first of all, it isn't a longhorn. Coil rear and no line on the bed.
It's a long wheel base truck, and a seller who doesn't know what he has.
Rust bucket...

So-Cal guys are spoiled.
Is it worth 6 bills? yes.... it is worth 6 for the engine alone, then you still have a whole truck (with toitle and no back lic fees) to part/use/scrap.

I'd bet it's already gone too.

Pont406 · 08-04-2008, 08:51 PM

I spoke with the owner. He still has it. There is more to it. He told me that he had a motor straped and it got loose in the bed while driving. Dented a bed and a cab. I might go check it out this week.

Sinisterspeed · 08-04-2008, 09:41 PM

I agree with longhorn man. I never seen or heard of any longhorn with coil rears.

Hey Pont406,
The link is expired, did you buy the truck ?

Pont406 · 08-07-2008, 09:55 PM

No I didn't. I spoke with the guy Monday. He told me that a few people called. I thought he was bs me. We agreed to see the truck on Saturday. I think he sold it.

sleepertruck72 · 08-08-2008, 12:24 AM

I spoke with him Tuesday also I just didnt make time to go. I figured I might be able to stop by tomorrow but I called him again today and got no answer
Looks like someone got it or he just decided to keep it. I dont know it seemed too good to be true for some reason.
