The buddies were 300 I believe.

cbeerman · 04-30-2017, 04:17 PM

Actually the guy gave 20 bucks back so they cost me 280. The buddies are very nice, complete, rust free, and even the foam is in good shape.
He was a real cool guy with many nice completed rides and plenty of projects. When I initially called him he wasn't sure if the seats were factory. He said he had trucks with buckets and consoles before and thought they must be rare because he had only seen these seats once on a TV show. I let him know they are called buddy buckets which looked to be from a 68 and they were optional in 67-68 for the higher trim level trucks.

Honestly, I figured after our initial conversation on Wednesday the deal would have fallen through since I wasn't able to pick them up until Saturday. I thought he would have googled buddy buckets and then either not answered my calls or would have made up a story about selling them (money talks).

When I picked them up it seemed that he wasn't interested in them as he has plenty of projects such as the beautiful square body 4 door 4x4 he was finishing. We traded car stories, I got the grand tour, and he told me about the loss of his best friend. If I lived closer I'm sure we would hang out. I let him know that I would be using them in my 68 SWB 4x4 305 V6 4spd, he commented that he always wanted a GMC v6 because of the way they rumbled at idle from their odd firing order. He said he had a 72 c10 as a DD for 15+ years and the stories went on for a good 45 minutes.

Anyway the Frankenstein 2wd GMC the buddies were in was stripped and the cab was either a 71 or 72 because of the door jamb vents.

Nh4clo4 · 05-01-2017, 03:59 PM

I picked them up 100 for a pair of relatively rust free fenders was too good. the drivers where the battery dripped was the only rust.

Nh4clo4 · 05-01-2017, 08:14 PM

Lots of of truck parts coming up on Craigslist near me, usually there are not very many.

My old stomping grounds! I grew up a few miles north of there. Plan on making a trip this summer to pick up a 68 from my dad.

**HO455** · 05-04-2017, 12:02 AM

Nice 72 SBC auto with a blower $8500.

Is there something I am not seeing on this truck?

mywifestruck · 05-04-2017, 08:39 AM

I could handle having this in the garage.

Wouldn't touch it with that chopped up SPID and modded sheriff's plate.

That VIN tag is issued by CA DMV. If the thieves messed with the original plate. It would be issued a new VIN.

The only thing deterring me from buying that truck is the price. The silly sticker means nothing and the vin replacement is legitimate. I'm amazed at how many people think there is some kind of conspiracy when a truck isnt 100 % as it left the factory over 40 years ago

at 2-4 times the actual value [pending inspection] it sure's hell does! good luck finding future buyers as lenient as yerself..

I might be a buyer too for what it's actually worth, but something tells me that it won't actually sell for anything near that

This is true for everyone... If he was asking $100 everyone in Kentucky would be looking at it as a parts truck.

I'm just saying.

I know the man who owns the truck with the replacement VIN, he is a friend of mine.
I can attest to his honesty and integrity, regardless of what you think of the truck.
He is also a board member on this site.

My apologies. I was not necessarily directing that toward the present owner. Just an observation.

You should PM him and link this thread, so he can see what all the "experts" have to say about his truck.
