Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
There is a reason trucks in boxes don't usually sell for anywhere near what the seller has invested in as if it were an assembled truck - when buying a shell with a great SPID and boxes of parts, there's really no way to know what's missing unless you go in person and inventory the stuff. There may be $15K worth of parts there, but if you only need $5K of them, it's not a sweet deal, and undoing (if so inclined) someone else's idea of what a dash modified for 7" touch screen should look like could get expensive kinda quickly (even if it was done very well - you gotta "want" that mod before you buy - or go into it eyes wide open with what would be needed to undo it). That is why stock trucks, even if the intent is to shorten, slam, and hot rod them after purchase, retain the most value in my opinion - people just tend to like to start with a known quantity I think - or maybe it's just me. Please note, I'm not suggesting a COMPLETE hot-rodded slammed truck doesn't bring the money, it certainly can, but the purchaser knows the full picture of what they are buying. I'm really only talking about unfinished projects that come in boxes - there is risk.
My 2 cents anyway. I'm sure there's $15K in the boxes, but right or wrong, I tend to shy away from projects others have punted on. Yes, I probably miss out on some great deals, or at the very least. some great piles of parts - but you never know until you look closely. |

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
There always seems to be compromises if you never had the chance to order one brand new, but, the 396 4 speed and 3.54 ( assuming the 3.54 and assuming close ratio NP 435) would be a completely different driving experience than a 350 auto and 4.10.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
Things to note on the light blue '69, it does have the original 16.5" wheels, does have original blue bowtie hubcaps, it is a C 20 not a C 30 as listed. I do like the period rear step bumper that sits lower on body, not the late model style that sits up way too high against the body. Hard to say on the mileage, but the original blue steering wheel looks like its in great shape ( very uncommon ).

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
It is on overall nice shape for its age and mileage. It must have been covered or garaged most of its life.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
Says it's a professional cut down job and looks decent enough. Not sure on the price before I looked at it in person. Some obvious support rot that was not addressed makes me wonder what else was not done. No SPID photo but looking at the truck it was probably a short list.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
Not crazy about the wheels, but this is a real nice truck.

Reasonable price for frame off. Nice truck assuming it checks out. Agree though, wheels need to go... |

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds Part 2
It looks like the air cleaner would be in the way of the compressor. Is it in the correct position or is it the wrong air cleaner? Or has the engine been changed?
