Abandoned truck.....help me identify!

[chevyrestoguy]

I don't feel like you wasted my time. I just wanted you (or someone else here on the site) to buy it. The thread carried on so long that we all got attached to it. Don't take offense to my tone in the last post. I just hate to see these old trucks go to people who might not appreciate them. I'd save them all if I had the money and the room to keep them. Kinda like the old Crazy Cat Lady, but I would be Crazy Truck Guy.

Funny thing about this whole thing, don't know if anyone else noticed, mwmeador38 who dug this thread up after more than a year of inactivity has only one post.
And this is the thread he chose to make his first post in.

I feel like I just read/watched a comedy/tragedy by Poe and directed by Spielberg.
I dont know whether to take a shower or jump into the fish-pond.....or try to end it all with a bow and arrow......

[A.T. RockDriller]

I aint $hittin' ya' all...........It just don't seem right.
I think I feel like I've been dumped by a gal that I really didn't want....but sure didn't want anyone else to have.
Did anyone catch that trucks name.....was it by any chance Denise....?

i did notice that was the case, it seems to me that in most cases like this, the poster has found the thread through a link from a search engine like i.e. google and post on it and do not realize it is a old post....i see it on the HAMB and other truck/car forums all the time.

and i do think the o/p of the thread should have relayed that they were passing on the truck for interested fourm members like vernski ,i would have and think thats kinda the code of conduct of the brotherhood of a fourm for cars/truck members that have a passion for the vehicles of that forum!

I don't hang out in this part of the forum but this post caught my eye. It had so much potential but ended up dissapointing for sure. I do think the OP dropped the ball by getting a lot of good advice and then not even giving someone else a shot. Was kind of an all take and no give type of situation. On the other hand, if the other guys in this thread were really interested in the truck, wouldn't they have sent PM's or at least bumped this thread? I do believe that if someone is really interested in something another guy has or knows about, they will inquire.

Not cool at all, nicke. You said you'd let vernski know if you were gonna pass.
It took over a year, but ya got caught

[J.Cagle]

wow, this thread caught my attention. I never checked the dates,lol. I read the whole thing to find out it was over a year old and the guy never bought that awesome truck.

[nicke]

Wow, again sorry guys for everyone I offended by not being more proactive in the marketing of this truck to someone else. I agree that I should have posted that I was going to pass on it, but sometimes, life just catches up. To my regret, I didn't indicate that I wasn't interested to Vern, or anyone else.
To make amends, I would be happy to post all of the 60-66 trucks currently on craigslist for sale... many are in nice condition, and many under $1k. There are quite a few candidates.
For those of you who felt obligated to rescue this one, I would be happy to direct you to another.
Again, sorry.

[blackdawg]

I would have to agree,make a move on the truck or pass it onto
someone else.you definatly have to consider space, see if he will take 500.00 for it and pass it onto to vern if he still wants it for 700.00.Have to make a fee for your time.blackdawg

[SulphuriousSam]

nicke post those craigslisters up man

j/k

On a more serious note I'd like to give the guy who dug this thread up and posted on it a quick smack. I was reading the thread thinking "Hail yeah this guy found a gem and is gonna snatch it up!" I figured by the age of the thread he'd bought it and was posting his progress... jokes on us guys!

No kiddin', Sam....
After readin' this post from the top down, I felt violated....or something like that.
I just wanted to take a shower......or at least rinse off a bit.

[blackdawg]

Geez i did"t see the change in dates till i went to the begining.We are all commenting on a truck that is long gone.Fun while it lasted.

[KIC]

Gee guys..think you have run NICKE over with a C60 enough times yet ? Your gonna turn him into a F*** truck guy...

[pdxhall]

Is this going to end soon?

[NorthstarGMC]

yeahhhhhh this was pretty disappointing to read for sure but it makes me feel good that I got my 63 GMC for $1000, in better condition, with a 305 V6. Don't be upset you missed out on this deal. Just go find your own.
