Look what I found for $1,500 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

firemanmsmith · 09-07-2006, 01:20 PM

I picked this '70 up this week for $1,500 with an extra sb350. The body is in great shape, but the motor is bad sick and the tranny is shot. Nothing a little tlc wont fix.

Wow, that's a steal! Great find!

boundstaffpress · 09-07-2006, 01:49 PM

WOW! That's worlds ahead of where I bought my truck for the same money.

firemanmsmith · 09-07-2006, 01:56 PM

I am sure I will have many ?'s in the near future. This will be my first 4x4 to re-build. Please have patience and help the new guy. Thanks. Mitch

starting ahead of me too...

I nearly lost this truck. I have been seeing it sitting for about 4 months. I ran into the guy week before last and asked him about it, and he shot me the price at 1500. I was so shocked that I couldnt even try to talk him down any. I drug my feet until this weekend and he called me and said a guy had stopped and offered him 2200. He was a man of his word and let me have it at the original price. Here is a pic of the other side.

Guys like that are rare these days.That`s a great price,especially for a short 4wd.I jumped on one this summer for $1,200.It`s rusty and I never even asked if it ran for that money.

Two smokin deals for 4x4s right there, nice scores

**Yukon Jack** · 09-08-2006, 03:14 PM

Wow, that is great the guy stood behind his word. Sweet rig!

68crum · 09-14-2006, 10:02 PM

I have three words: I hate you...... Just kidding, man thats a smoken' deal

msgross · 09-14-2006, 10:06 PM

**Canadian694x4** · 09-18-2006, 03:07 AM

Sweet Deal!

Sounds like a great score! A solid body brings considerably more than that even with out an engine.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 09-18-2006, 11:37 PM

Damn, you got a very sweet deal. That was pretty awesome that the dude still sold it to you after the 2200$$ offer. What do u have planned for it?

I dont have any major plans. My main goal is to build a solid truck for hunting and knocking around in. We have some pretty serious mud to contend with during the winter. I am not going for a show truck by no means. Just something dependable.
