Your selling your truck?

gdavis · 07-13-2015, 09:45 AM

yea I am. The wife wanted her freedom so she left and took half of the income, and left me with a few bills that need to be paid off.

Really sorry to hear your parting with the truck. All the work and time, and it turned out so good.

Call me or drop by sometime.

Dave

I'm sorry to hear that George, It's a nice truck, don't let financial pressure force you to take a lowball offer for it, you can get out of it what you have in it with no problem.

Low Elco · 07-13-2015, 12:38 PM

Damn, George, sorry to hear it.

69sinker · 07-13-2015, 09:13 PM

Sorry to hear that, your price you've got listed seems more than fair to me. Hang in there. Dave

**Dustmaker65** · 07-14-2015, 06:21 PM

WOW...sorry to hear George.

Been there, and done that....a couple times(slow learner).

Best of luck getting them bills paid.

gdavis · 07-15-2015, 08:10 PM

I am holding on to my figure of 14,000.00. I am still working on the truck. I am putting in a bed floor as we speak. another 400.00.

That picture and post were a long time ago. I repainted them black so no one has to take the orange paint from me.

Do you have a better pics of the rust damage of your hood?
While your back getting all the sheet metal replacement parts they might have a spec guide for the measurements of the cab, gaps and such.

Your an animal,, keep it up.
