I see the price has come down from $800. I don't know why but, that has been for sale for over a year now.

**mr48chev** · 12-11-2021, 05:36 PM

I'd say that most guys who are serious 47 second series 48 truck guys also want the surround for that price.

Could be that he is one of those would be sellers who won't ship or prep it for shipping. Prepping in this case meaning putting a sheet of 3/8 plywood on each side of the crate to protect the grill from damage and prying eyes.

Then again just because it is NOS doesn't mean that it is perfect. I'm pretty sure that I saw that grill at a swap meet ten or fifteen years ago. It may be showing it's hauled around age now.

I looked long and hard at a NOS Chevy grill years ago, (I think at the Portland swap meet) and it was way out of my price range then (I didn't sell enough stuff to raise the money) but looking back have to believe that the seller thought the "original crate" was worth as much and maybe more than the grill it's self as he talked more about the crate than the grill.

**mr48chev** · 12-17-2021, 03:37 AM

There's a lot of potential in that one. (the car hauler). I could see Dan hauling projects back to Pasadena with it.

I had a standing offer to buy a Jeep Commando about like that with a couple for years but we lost track of each other and about the time they decided to sell it someone with more money than sense came along and offered way more than they thought it was worth. It was maybe the nicest all original one in this area that wasn't paraded around to shows though. I'd still like to have one but would probably put an Ls in it and change the whole running gear now.

A guy I kinda know has this crawler for sale, I saw it when he was in mid build on it.

LS power, Corporate axles front and rear and supurb building on it. 14K but it is 100% trailer it where you plan to off road with it. You can go to Utah and pull Matt out when he gets stuck with this one.

Dannny B · 12-17-2021, 10:39 AM

No more hauling in projects. I find some kind of interesting project,,, haul it in,,, rebuild it.
Then, I just look at it. I don't actually drive it around and, enjoy it.
I bought a F**d that looked to be a cool project. It just sat around so, I'm finally trying to sell it.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/23432940970...cAAOSwG~NhmW9J
I have to stop rescuing cool trucks. It would be different if I didn't live in the city.
I have a place near Myrtle Point, OR. but, I'm stuck in L.A.
You know how it goes,,, the money & the kids.

That Jeep pictured above is a rock Jeep. The tires are too stiff for the dunes. If you go in mud, the tires bury the passengers in mud.
I just don't go off-roading any more like I did years ago.
I still have my D***e 1 ton Power Wagon camper. I just can't seem to get away these days.

I had a Commando years ago that I took down to Baja.
We had the Jeep, a '62 Suburban, a 4 seat buggy on a trailer.
We went to find Scavenger's Beach (Malarrimo)
WE got down in the river canyon and, eventually abandoned the Burb & trailer.
We finally abandoned the Jeep and, went on in the Buggy and, an ATC.
We almost sunk the buggy in a sinkhole.
Malarrimo means,,, a bad place to go near. It is close to salsipuedes.
This means,,, get out of you can.

**mr48chev** · 12-17-2021, 03:03 PM

I have to agree Dan that that buggy is primarily a crawler. Most of the guys around that build rigs like that are far more interested in rock crawling than sand. There is a big sand contingent that goes to the dunes by Moses Lake or goes down to Bandon Oregon and run the dunes there, but they usually have the more traditional dune buggies or orv set up for dunes.

Someone got a real deal on that Commando at 1500 from the looks of the photos. Any you find for that price here is a total rust bucket missing a bunch of parts.

Hey NorCal 55-59 GMC owners, here is a drop-in 59 Pontiac 389...will use factory mounts! $1400 with transmission, claims pulled for restomod.

Paint it red and use your GMC valve covers and nobody will ever know its not a 316/347/336. Use your own trans and sell the one it comes with to recoup. Probably ahead time and $$.

58 GMC Suburban project $8500. Not mine. Pretty rare to find one in this shape these days.

https://portland.craigslist.org/yam/...445414361.html

1958 GMC Suburban Project 1956 front end. Front and middle seat.
1978 Tran-Am front subframe, 1995 Lt1 350,4L60,3.23 Disc brake rear end, 97K miles on the engine/trans/rear end - have a video on the engine running. Rear end is not installed yet. Has trailing arm suspension out of a 66 Chevy pickup. Body has some rust not too bad but it has some. Wiring harness for the engine has already been modified. All glass is good. Windshield has a pretty good sized chip. I’ve owned it for 25 yrs. I have too many projects - it’s time to let it go. I can finish it to someone’s desired point if they want. I have one car I’m currently working on for another customer. It’s just not on my priority list for myself. My number is +1503310936seven. Text is best.
55-57 Chevy/Chevrolet pickup Suburban Part trades considered. Love things that make noise large and small.

**mr48chev** · 02-25-2022, 03:43 PM

A lot on that one is going to depend on if the subframe swap was done right.

I think that burb has been listed for sale a time or two before Over the past couple of years but it could be one of those rigs that changes hands a lot and never gets finished.

It might be a good thing that I don't have the cash to buy it or I'd be headed the 204 Miles down there to get it. Finished, that would fit my needs for a road burning cruiser to run back and forth to Idaho with.

**Rickysnickers** · 02-26-2022, 11:31 AM

200 miles?? That's it? You could be there and back home in a few hours. Go get it
