my k car when for a **** lastnight and it isnt worth fixing, i need another beater to last me to spring and i just got back from looking at a 68 chevy long step, it had a decent front clip, the top of the cab was perfect, no rust above the window or anything, the rockers were gone, cab corners looked okay but had bondo cracks, the step on the pass side was solid, drivers side was rusted out where it bolted to fender, fenders okay, had bondo too and tailgate was presentable...it has a strong 350 with a 2 bbl, and a farmer 4spd, he just put new exhaust on it, has a couple bottles..its faily loud. oh and the doors dont have any holes but are rusty, he wants 1500 bucks. im trying to decide if its worth picking up...id probably, give it a shot with the orbital sander at my dads and give it a spray bomb job, might be kinda fun...its got slotted alum mags too which is cool, i can see it being a fun truck till my 67 is done..it just sucks cause i hate rust...k im done rambling...should i be all over this?

**Palf70Step** · 08-30-2003, 07:42 PM

Don't know what the Candian/American rate is...but it sounds about right. Your looking at a much higher gas bill than the old K car though.

lunatic · 08-30-2003, 08:26 PM

If you are going down to Summerland that 68 lwb stepside is still there for sale, out towards the golf coarse,he was asking $1000 for it...

**old Rusty C10** · 08-30-2003, 08:33 PM

if you told me this a week ago i could have given ya one of two beaters for $50 each we sent em to the boneyard both ran one was an 89 grand prix the other was a geo metro ( that one needed some chassis welding but it ran and drove
as for the truck i think youll have trouble using that as a beater id look for something better gas it dont pay to put a junkyard tranny in the k car? thats prolly the cheapest way to go

67cst · 08-30-2003, 08:43 PM

lunatic- that rear end is knocking he said, and its got a 6...we know him pretty good and he only paid 300 for it and wants way more...i got more pics of another truck in kamloops, this one is 18 hun...here are a bunch of pics..would this green grow on me

last one

casey · 08-30-2003, 08:54 PM

that looks pretty clean for 18 hun, try and jew him down, that would make a nice daily driver. that green is pretty wild but I'm sure you would get use to it, but just watch you don't fall into the trap of starting to fix up the new truck, while the other one isn't done, I've done that, just a bit off the topic, speaking of another project, you haven't seen that white 67 acadian canso around town have you I'd like to find out who own that

67cst · 08-30-2003, 09:13 PM

no i havent, a friend of mine chevy has a canso 4 dr...nothin specail but clean...hey casey i saw you by canadian tire today, the truck looks great, the white and green one in kamloops looks good, he wants 24 obo and he allready said he would take 18. u think offering 15 is getting chinsy?

lunatic · 08-30-2003, 09:34 PM

$1800 looks like a decent deal for that,if you can live with that Cryco geen interior...Hey casey was that you cruzin Penticton yesterday?

67cst · 08-30-2003, 09:43 PM

the dude said its the green from those early 70s cudas

oldrusty--it would be the cheapest route to put a junkyard tranny in the k car, but ive been looking for an excuse to get something else..that car is honestly the worst...i hate it with a passion

casey · 08-30-2003, 09:45 PM

no just tell him your not trying to insult him but 15 is all you have,does it look llike it needs much work to get it road ready, w were you driving by, I was picking up some touch up paint for my son, there were two guys beside me checking spray bomb colors they were spraying all the shelfves, I couldn't beleive it, man some people abuse that store. we'll run into each other one of theses days

67cst · 08-30-2003, 10:34 PM

forsure, i know what you look like now anyways....looks like we are going to check that truck out on monday....my dad is going to look at a couple in summerland tomorrow...if anyone in the okanagan know of any let me know, thanks

72MARIO · 08-31-2003, 12:26 AM

Nice truck for the money !

You will need rearend work worth around the $500 range. Just so you know.

I would buy it. I still need a Daily ride Cause I wrote off the Burban.

67cst · 08-31-2003, 01:08 AM

rear end work for what? lunatic was talking about a whole different truck, that one he was talking about is a 68 chev, and i have a rear end from drum to drum off the 67 when i swapped to 5 bolt, so it wouldnt cost me a dime

casey · 08-31-2003, 01:31 AM

lunatic that wasn't me unless someone stole my truck, there must be one cruisin around like mine.I seen a lime green 4x4 69or70 with a lift on it today looked real nice have you guys seen that around, I can't believe how many of theses trucks are in the valley, I also seen a bright yellow lowered short box go by my house yesterday man was it sweet

67cst · 08-31-2003, 01:49 AM

its crazy, they are everywhere......from beaters to beauties hey

lunatic · 08-31-2003, 09:29 AM

Yeah there are ALOT around down at this end of the valley,not to many swb though,I saw one the same color/paint/year as yours casey on Friday here in town,very nice...

JayDubBlazer · 08-31-2003, 09:51 AM

The green is pretty cool reminds me of the BF Goodwrich tire ads in the magazines. They have had a couple cars that color

JoetheMobster · 08-31-2003, 10:33 AM

Definetly lots of sweet rides out there this summer. I don't know how many of these trucks I've seen, that just AWESOME!

Acutally, I was sitting in traffic the yesterday, and there was this 80's Ford Bronco sitting in front of me, but there was something about this vehicle that was bothering me. I kept looking, and finally realized that the thing that was out of place was that it had a dually axle stuffed under the rear!!! This thing looked fugly, in a way, BUT also kind of unique.

Anyway - here's to summer and all the nice rides:
