I bought this truck for $250 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It's a mess for sure. Boat not included (my assumption)! Body is shot. Stake bed probably has racoons and snakes in it! I plan to drag it home,and strip out the TH 350 to replace the 3 on the tree of my well restored '70. It has a GMC hood and a Chev grill, 5 lugs, PS, straight six, and 10 years of accumulated crap in it.

I'll keep you posted.

Lovin the wheels, looks like a good deal the engine in parts is worth way more than what you paid

Hubscrub · 09-19-2010, 09:19 PM

i say you did well the grill looks nice, i like the inline 6 myself

LandonL · 09-19-2010, 09:23 PM

It may definitely be worth something if it has the 6 cylinder brackets for the tv cable for the trans etc. The bracket's for 6 cylinder auto's are quite rare I understand. Original ones anyways.

**passthebuck** · 09-19-2010, 09:46 PM

It's got power brakes, the L6 over-slung aircleaner & the rare custom wood glovebox option...

Sonicman · 09-19-2010, 10:18 PM

Great find!!!!!

Mark B · 09-20-2010, 08:02 AM

Here's my good truck...

classic1967chevy · 09-20-2010, 08:32 AM

wow you got a good deal just like i did i pick my 67c10 up for 200 bucks and trust yours is in a whole lot better shape then mine GOOD FIND

bigguy69 · 09-20-2010, 09:14 AM

LOOKS LIKE A GOoD DEAL!!! I REALLY LIKE THE WHITE ONE TO!

1LoC10 · 09-20-2010, 09:17 AM

Love that glovebox

Shaky · 09-20-2010, 03:47 PM

Ugggghhhh!!! Wire wheel hubcaps!!!!

Other than that it looks like you'll have enough good parts to make it more than worth your while.

rusty baker · 09-20-2010, 03:55 PM

The value of these trucks must have gone up. I bought my 70 for $250, 10 years ago and drove it home.

raycow · 09-20-2010, 06:08 PM

Maybe I read it wrong, but are you planning to use the TH350 as-is? Or is it going to get a teardown first?

Ray

GASoline71 · 09-20-2010, 09:41 PM

You got some work ahead of you...

Good deal.

You should be able to pull the parts you want to keep and then part the rest for more than what you paid.

nickp51chevy · 09-20-2010, 11:34 PM

what is up with the dash? Is that wood paneling?

Update: $100 to have it towed home. I put the white truck into winter storage to make room for the "new" truck. I call it Scrapper.

I have had a fun time tearing off the front end. Love those pneumatic tools! Only thing left is the rad and bumper (well the engine and tranny is still in).

So I am trying to figure out how to wire the starter and ignition to try to test start the engine. The original wiring is shot. I just want to wire it temporarily. If anyone knows or has a schematic to help me that would be great.

Here's a couple more pics.

Blue71LWB · 09-28-2010, 08:18 AM

You scored on the inline power steering setup also. You won't have a problem selling those brackets $$

CHONGO · 09-28-2010, 10:11 AM

thats the same steering wheel I had in my '68 back in high school. let me know if its for sale.

Mark B · 10-01-2010, 12:46 PM

I have taken the front end off and yanked all the wiring. Next is to prep the engine for an attempt to crank her over.
