How bad is she underneath?

*BGRAFX* · 03-13-2010, 08:32 PM

Really bad! the owner said he just got it back after the truck was stolen and went through a 27 mile police chase. he was proud of his old chevy. but sad that it ended in a wreck. the frame is bent and as you can see the front wheel and suspension is crammed back to the firewall and the motor mounts are cracked because the engine twisted and flywheel is bent also.
I'm debated getting the hood and bed, and he has all original front grill lights etc.

Scootin 81 C20 · 03-13-2010, 09:31 PM

If the cab and bed are good, I'm sure you can find a good frame or a buyer for the cab.

some pics of my 87, "little red", my daily driver sun, rain, or snow. i put new tires on it and did put the centercaps back in, i dint realize i had them off still in these pics, was polishing the rims and had em out for a few days.

Scootin 81 C20 · 03-14-2010, 01:48 AM

Nice truck Sleeper.

TheSleeper · 03-14-2010, 02:38 AM

was lookin back at the pics some more, and i would LOVE to have the headlight and grill setup like that white one has, that ever popular later model suburban lookin headlight and grill. id keep my stocky lookin bumper, tho LOL. be keepin my eyes open for the parts on the cheap when i get a little spare cash someday

the paints, the interiors, and mechanical work that goes into many are just flat amazing, just sheer artistry. people have poured blood, sweat, ( and life savings LOL)into their rides, and it shows.

i do lose interest on the "huge" rims, a fascination that has been the fad the last decade or more. I cant seem to get into them on, quite frankly, anything i have seen them on, whether trucks, muscle cars, suv's, whatever...maybe im gettin too old and it is a generational thing.

watahyahknow · 03-14-2010, 01:58 PM

you done those stripes realy nice they look superstraight on the pics
maibe the faiding is caused by (wax/dirt) resideu on the carpaint
a good paintprep should help before leying on the new stripes

Oldschool82 · 03-14-2010, 03:56 PM
