(FOR CONCIDERABLY MORE THAN I'M ASKING NOW) IT HAS BUCKETS OUT OF A 69 GTO, B&M RATCHETT SHIFTER, FRESH 454, ZERO MILES ON A T-400,LOKAR GAS PEDAL, THROTTLE CABLE, & KICKDOWN FOR THE T-400. NEW AFTERMARKET DOORS, FENDERS, INNERS, & A COWL HOOD. IT HAS AN ALUMINUM FUEL CELL, CHROME RALLYS WITH STEEL DURBY CAPS, & TIRES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THEM. I'VE GOT A RUSTFREE SHORT FLEET BED FOR IT. THIS WAS ORIGIONALLY A AIR FORCE TRUCK.I PICKED THIS UP IN A SWAP WITH A GOOD BUDDY,(WHOS ALSO A NEVADA BOARDMEMBER) & JUST HAVE MORE TRUCKS THAN I NEED RIGHT NOW. HERES SOME PIC.S I NEED $4500 FIRM OR I MIGHT TRADE FOR A 55 CHEVY.

I can vouch for this truck. That is a very good price john is asking. The receipts alone add up to more than that. JIM

70c10 · 07-05-2004, 10:52 PM

John, that is a great deal. I wish there was a way I could buy it.

junkyardjohn · 07-06-2004, 07:02 PM

LAST CHANCE :p

ZOOMY · 07-06-2004, 11:39 PM

If i bought it, how long can you store it before I pick it up or arrange shipping ?........Thanks..........Zoomy

Blue4x4 · 07-07-2004, 01:50 AM

I also agree with FROST89434. I have seen this truck in person for the last 2 years being built and driven. A steal at that price.

406_SBC · 07-07-2004, 03:11 PM

You sell the truck yet John?

junkyardjohn · 07-07-2004, 05:06 PM

TENATIVELY ....... A BOARD MEMBER FROM CANADA SENT ME A DEPOSIT ON IT LAST NITE THRU PAYPAL, BUT HE SENT IT IN CANADIAN DOLLARS. I REFUSED RECEIPT OF IT, & AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM HIM.

Congrats John, my buddy just sold his Pro -Street Cuda last night and he was going to contact you about it. He got a quote today of $1145 to ship it to Baltimore. I didn't even notice your "sold" post this morning. My secret plan was to buy it from him after he got bored with it,LOL. That's how I got my current truck. Them Mopar guys don't know any better,LOL.
