Found this for you all!
First thought was he had an extra zero added.
Seems not!
With the border open now anybody could fly up and drive it home. Just bring 130 grand US bucks.
It’s a steal of a deal!

well it is a custom...

**mr48chev** · 11-12-2021, 04:08 PM

I'd say that at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale that is a Tuesday or early in the day Thursday truck that might bring a 50K bid. No doubt that there was a ton of money spent on it and it is a nice truck but a solid color paint job without the black fenders and running boards would probably raise it's honest resale value 10K.

While I love Cad 500 engines the big money boys want an LS engine. They want a matching overdrive automatic.

A quick search says that Tesla Model X's are going for between 75 and 110 K in the Portland Oregon area depending on year model and sub model. It might be an honest trade for a 2017 like this one https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ckType=listing

Is he selling flags or the truck? cool old rig. Some more pictures of the truck would be nice. You could go in the gutter cleaning business around here.

**mr48chev** · 11-13-2021, 11:46 PM

From where he lives I'd say it just served as a flag pole, You didn't see any socialist campaign signs in that area the last time I drove though it.

I thought it would work for trimming trees around the farm but at my age climbing a ladder hanging of the top of the truck isn't a wise idea.

Must be lifted enough so they didn't have to cut the cab floors to fit it in. Also never seen slatted park bench seats before.

Cab and nose are sitting on a complete Dodge 4x4 chassis. No doubt spaced up a bit.

I don't think I would want to do a lot of miles sitting in that seat.

22K Canadian equals 17,516.76 USD today 11/16,21.

vintovka · 11-17-2021, 01:13 AM

The dodge chassis AD is gone already!!! I always wanted to have a Cummins powered AD but ones i saw the engine was like right up to the seat and also had noise issues. Was even thinking about using my 2004 2500 as a donor. Glad i didn't. In addition darn thing is worth almost what a paid for it when new due to current New Vehicle "crisis".

**mr48chev** · 11-17-2021, 03:06 AM

I've been wanting to sell my dually flatbed and buy a Dodge Cummins or Ford 7.3 crew cab to pull my boat and my car trailer but they are priced sky high way around here.

vintovka · 11-17-2021, 10:41 AM

Just a heads up Cops say 6 speed 5.9 Cummins trucks are very popular with thieves for just chassis. Friend had his stolen and it disappeared.

Any newer "tow rig" truck I buy will have to have an automatic in it. My flatbed has a 454 and 4 speed and that is a real pain on a boat ramp with a 25 ft boat. Plus that truck needs a home where it gets to work more and not sit for weeks at a time. With the 10 ft flatbed and hoist I just don't drive it to town to be driving it to town.

I'd say that any rig with a popular engine combo for swaps or that is popular for chassis swaps including S-10 trucks especially get stolen way too often.

I'm waiting for someone to come on here or on one of the FB AD truck groups saying that they got arrested and had their truck impounded because the frame under it showed up as coming from a stolen truck. That's why I stress that if you do a frame swap with any frame make sure that you have real documentation that you legally own that frame.

For a while the big theft item here was new Ford Diesel pickups but primarily when they were the plain model that was all white. They didn't bother the fancy ones with the flashy paint and deluxe interior but took the plain white work truck beside it. The thought was that they were either being taken out of the country or taken to the oil fields where they looked like 50% of the other trucks there.

That firewall is mighty clean! Move that battery and you've got yourself a clean engine bay. Overall it looks like its in great shape, someone who already plans to sandblast and paint might be $ ahead starting here.

**mr48chev** · 11-19-2021, 01:24 AM

That was what I was thinking when I posted it, on these trucks it is pay me now or pay me more later.

That paint has been on it long enough that any issues they tried to hide would show up even when stored inside. The even older paint on the interior isn't hiding anything but the usual rust you see on most isn't there. That should mean that the buyer should be able to save a lot of hours of body work or a lot of dollars at a body shop plus having it in body shop jail for a long time. Plus it is a big window 55 and that adds a lot of value right there.

Then add in that it is 225 miles from my driveway to where the truck sits.

Could be a case of "I have it listed for sale but no one wants to pay what it is worth" to a significant other hounding him to sell it.

I went to look at a car a few years ago and discovered that the guy's wife was hounding him to sell it even though it was his first car that he had bought while in high school. She rude and abusive when I was there looking at the car and I passed.

**mr48chev** · 11-20-2021, 02:42 PM

Lincoln 175 on the Olympia Wa craigslist for our Oly based member.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/t...410222113.html

I'd say that they probably have had three hundred calls on it by now though.

They had it listed for 50.00

**jweb** · 11-22-2021, 02:23 PM

Some of you will recognize this one.

**mr48chev** · 11-22-2021, 02:46 PM

To be honest I'd pick that one over the orange and black one any day of the week. That is a nice panel.
Makes you wonder what MPC has in the works now.

nvrdone · 11-23-2021, 12:27 AM

OK,MPC. Spill it. whats the story here?

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-25-2021, 07:57 PM

I don't particularly like panels but this one looks very nice and very reasonable for the condition.

That one belongs to one of our regular long-time members. I think he has a build thread on it on here and was one of those trucks that you thought would never get sold. If a guy wanted a really nice AD panel that would be one you would seriously want to consider.

**mr48chev** · 11-27-2021, 03:13 AM

49 or 50 GMC 250 one ton. A bit rough but it looks solid. Close to Yakima wa
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...Anull%7D%22%7D

If I had the money to spare I'd buy it and stick the cab and nose on my frame from under my 48 that I am not going to use.
