Just my opinion, but that looks like a nice truck to me. Spray bomb it.

nicolas72gmc · 10-06-2009, 10:30 PM

Short-wide? If it is a swb it looks pretty good for the price, definitely a good starting point to finish.

Zumo · 10-06-2009, 10:41 PM

I say offer 2800 and take it home.

Longhorn Man · 10-06-2009, 11:08 PM

that'd sell for twice that up here, and be sold overnight

unclewatts · 10-06-2009, 11:17 PM

If all the stuff the PO says he did on it is true, I would say jump on it.

VA72C10 · 10-06-2009, 11:39 PM

Just brake lines, rally wheels with tires, front end components, and the engine and tranny are worth the asking price if they were done right. If you're not afraid of the body work, go for it...

I agree with that completely.

72BlckButy · 10-07-2009, 07:10 PM

I'm guessing SWB... definitely worth the $$$.

However, larger pics and a first hand look might change my vote.

weasel29gm · 10-07-2009, 07:14 PM

You don't have it yet!!!! Thats a deal. Like Andy said 5-6 grand up here.

Zumo · 10-07-2009, 07:55 PM

Where'd he go? He posted then left. C'mon man.

VA72C10 · 10-07-2009, 07:59 PM

Hopefully he's out buying the truck

He has not been infected yet. He can still walk away from the board.
