2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

My oldest son, Korbin, turned 13 this summer. He has been bugging me to find him a project truck to work on/build/learn so that he can drive when he turns 16. Well, I have an older gentleman, Mr. Kilgore, that works for me that happens to have 2 Square Bodies he no longer drives. His wife wants them out of their yard.

We went over to his house this past Wednesday and looked them over. He has a blue 82 Chevy Silverado and a white 85 GMC Sierra. Here are some pictures...






The blue 82 is loaded with power windows, locks, steering, brakes, tilt, V8/auto, etc...the white 85 is a stripper with a V6/auto and manual windows & locks, no tilt, but has ac.

After looking them over, Korbin got his first experience in haggling. He offered $400 for the blue one. Mr. Kilgore came back with "I'll sell you the blue one for $400 or I will sell you both for $300." After Korbin thought about it, he said OK that's a better deal. Before we left it ended up being $250 for both if Korbin agrees to keep his grades up and that he does most of the work on them so that he learns about them. We had to go home and convince Mom that we need to bring them home. Mr. Kilgore offered to keep one at his place if we help him move it "out of his wife's view". That helped Korbin convince Mom that we could bring one home. We are going to bring the blue one home sometime in the next few weeks, I have to find a trailer to get it since it does not run...Looks like we have a new project to keep us busy. My other son, Owen, is 9 and he is excited to and wants to help out his big brother work on them.

I am starting this thread for him and he and I will set up an account for him to add posts once we start on it...
