Is She a Keeper ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Green Machine** · 06-10-2005, 02:41 PM

Bought this truck last year, been doing some fixing up. Has transplanted high mile 283 with A833 4 speed with overdrive 4th gear, 3.73 open rear end. Box has some rust holes inside and out, but box supports are all intact and are solid. Has real nice doors and front fenders. Hood and top have some hail dents. I think floor is pretty good. Needs rockers, inner rockers, rear cab mounts and maybe fronts, possibly cab corners the ususal. Has most of original undercoat under cab with actual factory paint under it. So I guess that's good. I think it only has about 100,00 actual miles on it. Is she a keeper ? Should I fix her up ?? How much do you think it would be worth if I tried to sell it ?? Thanks.

Looks like a good starting point on a project as it appears just to be metal work..

Man, what are you thinking? They don't make 'em any more! Unless it's a real $$ problem, keep going with it. You'll enjoy it, especially while you're cruising this board.

Well if you dont want it you could bring it on vacation with you to Alaska and leave it with me. LOL....I would say that you should keep it, I kept mine in a lot worse shape....hell i even moved the thing from Iowa to Alaska when i moved last summer...

NO IT'S NOT A KEEPER you should send it to me immediately so you don't have bare the burden of owning it. I will suffer and bare the burden for you....

I'm probably going to keep it, just having some expense and time blues as I'm nearing finishing the resto on my 68. What would that sell for if I did want to sell it it present condition ???

It'd go for like 10,000 according to NADA (I'm just f'n guessin),
but I'll give you 25.00 bucks.
I'll buy you a pitcher of beer if you keep it.
