Who was the guy that was interested in one of my perfect rust free cabs? It is clean and ready for pick-up!

hey, sorry, i'm not the guy who was interested in one of your perfect rust free cabs, but i noticed you were in kent, which is a few hours away from me, and wanted to know if you knew of anyone who has a shortbed bed, or frame, I have a 67 longbed that i want to convert to a shortbed, i know how to shorten the longbed frame to a shortbed frame, but i can't find anyone who is willing to do the work, i would, except i don't trust my welding, not when welding a frame togather anyway. thanks.

Hey Nate003, what are you gonna do with the long bed?

Nate003 · 09-14-2003, 05:17 PM

probally sell it, but the lwb bed i have on my truck is fairly straight, but has no floor, a piece of plywood is the floor, the guy that owned it before me did that. it probally won't be for awhile tho if i did sell it, because i need a swb bed first.

Cool, I figured I'd inquire about it. The truck that its for is in Bremerton. I'm going to be bringing it down to AZ, its new home.

Nate003 · 09-15-2003, 12:34 AM

what kind of truck did you buy? got any pics or anything? when do you plan on picking up the truck?

justplainjoe · 09-15-2003, 02:11 PM

My father-in-law gave me his 72 GMC 3/4 ton. It has 82k he bought it with 30k. He hauled wood since he got it but doesn't need it anymore. He is 2nd owner. When I figure how to post pics I'll start posting progress on the resto.

I sent you a PM on your cab. I'm going to have to back out. Even if I come look at it I don't think I should spend the money to buy it right now!

I hate budgets.

Nate003 · 09-15-2003, 07:26 PM

so the 72 gmc is in bremerton washington? when do you plan on coming to get it because you could possibly come look at the bed if you are interested, since i'm gonna make it a shortbed, it can sit without the longbed on it.

justplainjoe · 09-15-2003, 07:37 PM

I'll be there next weekend, gonna take the family to the Ms game. I be in Bremerton all weekend leaving Sunday night. I'm trying to get the truck down here by the end of the month.
