1967 C30 Napco 4x4 questions

[cleszkie]

I wonder if the next person who thinks they are getting that truck is one of the people that he previously stiffed, and is now going back to honor the deal? Either way, this guy is an SOB for the way he is handling his business.

[CrewCab59]

That's one of the reason this truck was never sold last year !

[jocko]

what a bummer, sorry to hear it didn't work out. people like that... ugh.

No mater what his excuse is he clearly indicated I had his "word on it".i could have been there had I know he was a coward. All indications are it was a board member who had failed to communicate or follow thru their first chance, But seen it was possible. With the luck that this man has no morals they were able to undermine my deal. In the end life is good , it was only a truck. I live to hunt another day!!

[Grumpy old man]

I'd call him back and offer an extra $500-$1,000.00 to see if it would get the deal done ,I'd be willing to bet that's what happened to your deal ,You got out bid by someone close waving $100 bills in his face . I would have paid $5,000.00 for it .But I REALLY want one .

[special-K]

Screw him. Don't fall for a crook's game. You don't offer more than asking price and when you strike a verbal deal with an honest person the deal is done. If the guy wanted $5,000 he should have asked $5,000. That saying a man is only as good as his word rings true. Obviously this guy is no good.

[7oldno]

I would have paid more also and been there in hr but as usual I'm always the last to find something. I'm 15 min from Springfield. I would love to have this WOW. Anyone know who bought it hell maybe its still in his yard

[d21smith]

I was the one who originally started this post I purchased the truck it's going to be restored.

[7oldno]

Thats awesome, Congrats to you the napco's are super hard to find How far are you from Springfield.

[d21smith]

Right at 2 hours from Springfield

[Grumpy old man]

WANNA SELL IT ?

[d21smith]

Not for sale sorry guys but I might need some parts. Thinking about a longhorn bed?????

[7oldno]

I met a guy a couple years ago that had/has a 3/4 ton longhorn. The bed was in great shape but i didn't buy it. I could do a drive by tom and see if it is still in his back yard for ya. he is only about 15 min from me. he has all kinds of truck stuff pretty cool but a little proud of his stuff. if i remember right he wanted 1000.00 bucs witch i thought was a great price for a great bed

I hope that's a joke ? Your kidding right ? Doing anything other than restoring it to original condition would be sacrilege ! a 4x4 longhorn with 516's ? plan on hauling anything faster than 45 mph ?

[d21smith]

7oldno I might be interested I would really appreciate it

[Grumpy old man]

respectfully unsubscribed ,I don't want to know what happens to it .

[jocko]

oh brother.
I think a fleetside would look great on it. Good luck with your rebuild, can't wait to see how it comes along.

[d21smith]

Grumpy don't get upset I might do a flatbed or a better dump bed still weighing the options

[special-K]

It's your truck to do what you like. But I agree turning it into a pickup would castrate that truck. There's more to trucks than pickups. All the car converts only like pickups because they need it pretty from bumper to bumper, like a car. It's cool when a truck can do that, but it's also cool for a truck to be all truck and look good doing it, at least to a truck guy it is. It's not like a 4wd Longhorn hasn't been done before either. You could stretch the frame on any 8' K/20 for a much more driveable 4wd pickup

[7oldno]

I will take a little drive tom and see if its there. i think it will still have the cool factor no matter what you decide to do, it will always be a napco. Just make sure you hang on to all the original parts incase you change your mind later down the road. i would also take lots of photos before you disassemble anything

[d21smith]

I agree with the possibility of leaving it alone guys just looking at some other options I'm not going to be hauling much with it at all it'll have an easy life. I've attached another picture of my other 67 c30 just about as original as it gets has roughly 71000 on clock if I remember correct never been repainted I just cleaned it up and left it alone and drive it. What do you guys think of it?

[d21smith]

And the other side

[CrewCab59]

It's your truck build it how you want !

Let's see the side by pics .

Seems like an unethical series of events went down, what a cluster job.
