Re: What is this Truck?
Thats not a bad price at all!! I'd jump on it if I were you considering the history you have with the truck. I did it once and totally regetted it. Luckily the guy I sold it to felt bad for me cause of the history I had with the truck and sold it back to me after month of harrasing him he he......

Re: What is this Truck?
I can really appreciate how torn you must feel. Many years ago I bought my wife an extremely clean, rust free, one owner 1968 F250 camper special. She loved that truck and we made many improvements including a new rebuilt engine. In an act of supreme thoughtfulness she gave it to one of our kids. Rather than being treated like the treasured jewel we loved and respected, it was abused and neglected. Much of the original body trim is torn off, there’s a fresh crease in the hood, sits most of the year filled with trash, and continues to deteriorate at an accelerating pace. Just looking at it now makes her sick. If it was given back to her for free, she’d get rid of I because she couldn’t stand looking at it.
On the other hand, back in 1966 my first driver was a 1954 Chevy 2 door sedan. It wasn’t much, but I installed a blended Bel Air windshield, added chrome rims, my first floor shifter, and accomplished some very nice body work before applying my very first paint job. If that car fell in my lap today in the condition of your old truck for $1500, I’d snap it up in a heartbeat. I hope you come away from this encounter feeling good about whatever you decide. |

Re: What is this Truck?
seems like a very fair price based upon the pics...i know how you feel when seeing how things have changed since it left you...i worked really hard on some grille changes from my old '93 C-1500...after i sold it, i came across it a year later with a different grille that had a homemade bowtie emblem and crooked sidemarker lights (not to mention other neglect)...on a different note, my dad sold a '64 short/fleet that was intended to become mine...it was very solid and would've made a sweet ride with little effort...he sold it to a guy he works with, who still has it to my knowledge...not sure what condition it's in today, but i often think to myself how much i'd love to have it back....something about those ones with sentimental value

Re: What is this Truck?
Thanks again for all the support and encouragement to not let it go again.
I brought it up to my wife and she said: 'Why do you need another truck? !!' I even told the owner she'd say that. ![]() No, it won't cause a strain in our marriage. ![]() I told her she could consider it my anniversary present. ![]() The worse case is if something happens to us financially, I can sell one. But which one? I'm really digging my 66. It's a Real Truck, and this 65 is more of Street Rod. Thanks for the great community. Oh, I just remembered; She asked if this truck could haul a ton of wood pellets for our woodstove?

Re: What is this Truck?
I've kept up with this thread and have also knew about losing your '65. I can't believe you have finally found it again. I really hope you get the truck back. It seems like a no-brainer to me! Buy it no matter what the condition is. You can put it back to the way it was or even better now!
You know ever fiber of your being wants to have this truck back!! Do it and never have to wonder about the what ifs. Good luck! Keith |

Re: Lost My 65
I really hope you get the truck back. You'll have a GREAT story to tell(already do), you'll get a chance to fall in love with the truck all over again, and you'll get a chance to improve the truck to be absolutely perfect for you! You can find the missing parts-maybe even get some great deals as you set about freshening the truck up. Enjoy! Few of us ever recatch "the one that got away!"

Re: Lost My 65
I feel your pain.
My first classic was a '66 Tempest Custom, no post coupe. 100% original with only 73k on the odometer. Still had the original bumper jack, hub caps and 230ci Overhead Cam 6. Parked it in a storage lot in Colorado Springs when I got my orders to go to Korea. Someone rented the space next to my car, came in and pulled it out, then closed their account. I didnt even know it had happened until 1.5 months after the fact when the storage lot stopped billing me. We called to find out why and they said "Because you pulled your car out..." I still call and update my police report every time I move, just in case it is ever recovered the Police can find me. That was winter of 2001. This was a photo shoot I did with it a year before it was stolen. You know you have to get up before dawn and get to the lake in the dark and wait in order for the water to be this still?? LOL I didnt know that until I was researching on how to make this pic.
