Here's the back.

I agree with Randy, and the rest of you guys. I have roughly $3000 in my truck right now, and the engine and front/rear suspension look WAY better than that. That's 10% of what he says he paid. Original rockers + nothing done to the frame + near factory drivetrain tells me he's full of crap or doesn't know how to spend his money very well. For $30K you could have a whole new truck.

im diggin' those CHROME door panels .... NOT!

**JIMs70GMC** · 06-03-2003, 12:11 PM

Brewski got it right 1/2 ton w/ 3/4 ton axles and the bed is not finished.

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 01:38 PM

i was just on a site that would restore a classic truck for around 30k and make it show winner... that is a little crappy looking to me. notice how much the price is at 6 or 7k last time i looked.

Baradium · 06-03-2003, 02:31 PM

I like the bowtie on the steering wheel. $30,000 and he couldn't find one that said GMC on it?

It possible it's a factorty 3/4 ton and he doesn't know the difference. I've seen 3/4 and 1 ton trucks advertised as 1/2 ton before...

And for a brand new rebuild engine, is that overspray on the harmonic balancer?

Undercarriage looks really clean, but looks like it hasn't been touched really.

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 02:42 PM

back bumper and right tail light trim has been hit, wood floor needs replacing... chroem door panels with ugly original arm rest? the hell? for 30k i would get a billet steering column and steering wheel... thats for sure...

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 02:43 PM

he says he has receipts

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 02:48 PM

chaptr2 · 06-03-2003, 02:57 PM

Hehe, what's that one going for?

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 03:39 PM

i dont remember...

cheyenneman · 06-03-2003, 05:35 PM

That bed could have been done. He said it was gone through about three years ago. If he didn't have a bed cover on it thats about what it would look like. Also, I'm not sure, but on the engine pic doesn't the alt. mount on the other side of non-A.C. trucks?

Longhorn Man · 06-03-2003, 11:59 PM

This is the correct alt mounting for both A/C and non A/C trucks.

cheyenneman · 06-04-2003, 04:21 AM
