what would you do with it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'll be picking up a 68, long bed, 3/4, 2wd, chevy pickup. The body is in great condition. The guy said the tranny may be slipping and it doesn't currently run because he tried to do a tune up over a year ago with new points and plugs and it hasn't run since. I think getting it running should be easy, just correct his mistakes. Would you keep or sell it. It would be nice to have a street truck, but the 3/4 bolt pattern doesn't lend itself to nice wheels. I'm not really interested in swapping axles and spindles either.

If you are getting it for a good enough price, where you can sell it for a profit, that's what I would do with it.

lol recently i saw a truck on a wrecker that looked like mine and i chased the guy down and bought the truck on the spot with intent to sell what was left anduse what i needed. well after getting into the truck and staring at the window at it ive decided to fix it up too and take the project truck off the road for a while
id say keep it up and there are some cool wheels for the 3/4 ton trucks ya just cant lower them like ya would a c10...whichis a waste anyway as far as im concerned. Id keep it and run it
