Would you make this trade - poll

[Tuff Gong]

Looked at the car in person. It has some rust on the lower rear window trim, the trunk, and its bubbling around the wheel well on the rear quarter panel. There is bondo behind the rear bumper so I'm guess it was hit at some point. The 283 has more get up speed than I excepted. Interior is in ok condition. The owner liked my truck and is willing to trade straight across for it. I like the Malibu body style a lot but overall I like my truck more. I told him I will sleep on it and get back to him in the morning. Thank you all for the feedback.

Think you answered your own question, my opinion keep the truck.

If I did what everybody else wanted me to do, or their opinion, I would not have a older truck to begin with.

This is not directed at anyone here, we are a very unique part of America that remembers our Heritage.

That's why I like this place

EDIT: even though I'm only 30 lol still prefer classic trucks and classic rock and country

Personally, I wouldn't trade.... rust or no rust. SWB trucks in this era are hard to come by. I also believe the 66-67 Chevelle's seem to bring higher dollars than 64-65's. (Just my observations)

Well I suppose that's true except in this case he did ask for opinions.

And now that I hear about the rust issues I wouldn't make the trade (he asked ha)

I have a rusty ole truck I can put some paint on for him if he would like to trade.

P.T. Barnum and Indians. If your one or the other it does not sound like a good deal.

How bout just selling the long bed, put some cash together, and go buy the chevelle cash in hand. Might come out better AND you get to keep the shorty.

Sounds like you may have been opening a can of worms with that Chevelle. I think you made the right choice. You have a near perfect SHORT BED! When you miss it good luck finding another one for a decent price. There is a reason that guy is willing to trade.
