Sold one of my trucks... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**leddzepp** · 07-29-2010, 01:45 AM

Well, I came across a guy who made me an offer I could not refuse...my blue/white 72 daily driver has a new home! The new owner is a local cat and plans to use it as a shop truck/swap meat hauler.

I am sad to see it go, but the family needed a bigger vehicle (We got an 02 GMC Yukon XL

) and I need funds to move forward to completing my project build. I am having a cold one right now, thinking about my next move on the project. Here's to you Old Blue

petey-pablo · 07-29-2010, 02:20 AM

Wow that was a nice one, but your still in the game thats all that counts.....

sleepertruck72 · 07-29-2010, 03:19 AM

Scott,
I am sure your next project will be a nice one, that blue/white truck was a beauty thats for sure ! Now you have to hurry up and finish the project

**70cst** · 07-29-2010, 06:21 AM

If you got a price that your couldn't pass up then congrats. The good news is that you still have one in the fold to work on. By the way that Super is sweet lookin and I am sure it will be well taken care of.

gcburdic · 07-29-2010, 09:50 AM

Nice looking truck there....but you need to finish the other one...

There will be more!!!

Sinister · 07-29-2010, 10:20 AM

Must have been hard to let that one go. Your project will end up just as nice I'm sure.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-29-2010, 11:20 AM

Wow, Scott, I didn't think you would let that one go. That was a very fine pickup. Glad you got more than what a fair deal on it. Congrats, and I will be looking forward to seeing your other truck transform into something sweet. Trevor

**yote1234** · 07-29-2010, 02:10 PM

72BlckButy · 07-29-2010, 02:15 PM

Cole Trickle · 07-29-2010, 02:52 PM

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-29-2010, 04:00 PM

That was a sweet truck! Congrats on the sale as well.

mcbassin · 07-29-2010, 04:20 PM

Congrats on the sale, now give us a hint of what kind of offer you couldn't refuse? Must have been a good stack of cash. That is a super truck!

vectorit · 07-29-2010, 04:40 PM

Congrats on your sale!
That sure was a solid truck, and when I saw it I actually thought about the idea of owning a 2 wheeler...

I know what you were asking at the show, did you get more or less what you had your mind set on?

reds_racing · 07-29-2010, 04:45 PM

Its like looking at my truck except for I wish mine was in the shape yours was!!!!! Maybe someday!

OldSkool71 · 07-31-2010, 12:31 AM

Scott, I know it hard to see some of the good ones go...but sometimes you have to make way for the up and coming....keep us posted on your progress....Ron

prairewolf · 07-31-2010, 04:15 AM

The new owner is going to walk tall and look good with that. nice truck.

**leddzepp** · 08-03-2010, 02:37 AM

Thanks for all the comments!

I got VERY close to what I was asking...which really surprised me given the bedside damage and a LOT of low ballers that came out of the woodworks (get in line Brandon

. ) I did not advertise it on here or Ebay, I just put a sign on it at Brothers truck show and an ad in the local CL. I wanted the person who bought it to put their hands on it and know what they were getting, no BS. The final person who bought it looked it over for less than 30 secs and made an offer, paid in Benjamins, and drove off. I was able to pay for the new (well 02) Yukon, add to the savings acct, and have some funds to keep the 72 BBC SWB project moving forward. The Yukon and myself recently made a trip to Rene's "C/10 Corral" up north, pulling the project right behind it.

A near mint original SWB bed was saddled up, bolted on, and now ALL sheetmetal on my project truck is original GM, 100% rust free

chipflyer · 08-03-2010, 09:42 AM

Congrats on the sale Scott, Sounds like its all worked out well. Can't wait to see your finished project, I'm sure it will be nice.

Jeff

**70cst** · 08-03-2010, 09:50 AM

Always glad to hear when it works out well for both sides.

**Stocker** · 08-03-2010, 10:07 AM

What a beauty!! Glad you got a fair price without a struggle... now on to the next one.

C/10 King · 08-03-2010, 12:14 PM

Cool Zepp, If you're happy I'm happy,

See you in October?

JRBECK64 · 08-03-2010, 03:53 PM
