Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
That's a sweet truck...I'd start with "what do you need to get out of it?" With a truck that nice...I have doubts about it being cheap.

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
That thing kicks a$$. It won't be super cheap, but how many are out there like that? I'd expect to drop close to $10k at least.
I agree with see ten; ask first, offer later.

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
What was owed, I would be willing to bet you could get it for $5000.
Bastard..... But that truck can be sold easily in the teens. You didn't tell them you were going to list the truck here did you? If that's the case I wouldn't lay down more then $2000,, Did you see how dirty that seat is? You'd be the first to start a resto. with a buffer and a rag....

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
Yea, thanks all.
By the way, I am by no means trying to screw this guy if I sounded that way. Its a fantastic deal, I just dont want to overpay if I dont need to. Thanks for the tip on what was owed. Wouldnt be surprised if the guy finds the site/thread as well ![]() |

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
being a person who has a low mile truck...had 32k when i got it, i can tell you there are lots of issues with a truck that has sat for a long time. be sure to figure that into it... but im with the others who say ask him what he wants for it, first, then work from there.
verrrrrry nice truck!

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
I don't know your financial situation, don't care and it isn't any of my business but I'd suggest making sure I had the cash readily available when I went to look at it. Nothing frys a sellers butt more than having a prospective buyer try to cut a deal and then say "ok I have to go see if I can raise the money I'll be back in a couple of days".
I can't even guess what he wants for it but from here that truck looks like it would be in the running for a trophy in the Unmolested original class at any major Chevy truck show. Quite an impressive find from this view. |

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
That truck is as perfect as you could find. I have looked this truck over an under. I sold him the full hubcaps for it about 4 years ago. FYI he is really hard to deal with as he is/was a good friend of mine but our friendship went south due to a bad deal between he an I.
As the others said the only thing I would worry about is the fact that the truck has sat for a long time but I do know that the original owner had three cars like this one the he all had in a garage all there life. The guy (my friend) that has it now is a mechanic and his dad was befor him an they both worked on this guys (original owner of truck) cars all there life. Its a family shop thats in my town. Really good people just really REALLY hard to deal with. I do know the truck still runs as they move it around the shop from time to time and it was driven to the shop by the owners son. |

Re: OMG, what a lead I got.
Forgot to mention that it has a wood bed that still has the original overspray on it. I also believe it was sold in my town and was just a one owner truck until now. If I remember right it was sold at a dealer called ROAK CHEVROLET and still has the dealer sticker on it.
