Seems to me that all you'll do by making this offer is prove to the seller you're desperate for the truck and DO have the ability upon your previous $1,000 offer.

If you've got it up to $1,800 already why would he not continue to hold out and "...see what the kid comes up with?"

I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just saying you're acting like the guy wants to sell it to you. He likely could not care less WHO buys it as long as he gets the $3000 (or more!) he wants for it.

I think you've missed some Posts, either that or I have forgotten to tell everyone ,He told me he'd take $2,200 I am going to offer $1,800

Nice truck man ^

[G&R's57GMC]

SchrumGMC,

Thanks, Here's my '57

[SCHRUMGMC]

That's pretty sick

[Dodger]

All wiring done and electrics are all good now on the 50.

Electric wiper motor installed. Tricky but a good fit. Just got to work out adjustments etc.

Headlights changed over to Aussie ones.

Not a bad day.

Thank's Denee'

I love it too !

[Dan in Pasadena]

Good luck with that. Take hard cash AND take someone (bigger than you) with you when you make the offer!

Afterall, there's a reason why the expression, "Cash talks and bullschit walks" exists. Folding green is hard to ignore.

Sounds good as long as he isn't a WWE fighter!

[SCHRUMGMC]

Quick question, should I have it in my Wallet or in my Pocket..Biggest thing I have thought about for awhile

[Dodger]

Schrumgmc,

I have missed some of your posts too. Is this the same truck you had that extremely long thread on a while ago titled "rat rod it" or something similar.

Maybe you could start a new thread titled "Second try" and re the cash and where to hold it, maybe start another thread again titled "purchasing tips and tricks" and then just to be sure start up another one titled "How to find another truck if I can't get my first choice".

Just a suggestion mate, might help get some good advice in the one spot rather than all over the forum.

Now back to this thread, finally worked out the wipers. The shafts in the wiper transmission were seized solid. Lots of lubricant, a vice and a pair of multi grips and they loosened up nicely. Works a treat! Another job down for registration.

Look, NOT to perpetuate this thing with Schrum but Dodger, you're being a ball buster. He's a kid and he's excited about owning an old truck and being able to chat with all of us about work he's doing. I thought about responding to the silly question about "where to hold my money" then realized its something silly I might have said when I was whatever age he is...17, 18...? Lets cut the kid some slack AND remember we were all enthusiastic kids once!

I finally got my door hinges working and the doors to actually close without binding or hitting the door frame. yay Today I am going to put the latchs on the door frame and pray that the doors latch.

[Dodger]

Yep, your right Dan, I was playing around. All in humour and I hope you take it that way shrum. I think your enthusiasm is great mate. No one gets more excited about old trucks than me and whatever little advice I may be able to give I will.

I'll say one thing, while some probably get a little frustrated with some of your comments, they keep reading your posts and I for one keep reading in the hope you get your truck!

Me - i'll always have a joke here in there, no harm intended.

Cheers

Reason I asked where to put the Cash, is because what would be more pressuring ?.
I personally think the Professional thing to do is put it in my Wallet

When I bring it home, first thing I am going to work on is putting the Glass in, may take a while but I can get it done

[Denee007]

After what I've been through on my windshield install, I believe I could install one by myself if I had a normal truck to install one on! But would you even want to install the glass before paint?

I'll need to do some welding and putting on new Panels etc..Is the Steps on the bed bolted on or Welded ?

[Indian113]

If it was me I would have a shop put in the windshield! They are expensive when you break one LEARNING HOW! You can do the rest of them but you need to buy a manual, it would answer a lot of your questions and show how things go.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Thanks Indian, Now I'll think twice
The kid says it needs work around the edges, not sure on what that one meant..Can anyone find a photo of a Truck that needs work around the Windows ?

Almost 4 years ago, I started my "long term" 59 Apache project. It didn't get very far because I wasn't able to title the truck I'd bought. As of yesterday, the project is real again This time with a clear title and upgraded to BW.

[Denee007]

I've never looked at the side steps to see how they are attached to the truck. Perhaps if you had room, you could remove the bed, put it on some stands and work on it at your leisure.

the steps are held on with bolts. Just take a look underneath the steps and you'll see the bolt heads, They attach upwards into the step side fenders

Well that saves me a lot of possible problems Thanks man, I'll have to weld on a new Driver rocker panel on it though, its completely gone

HE STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL 59 Hub Caps that went on the Truck
