Sweeeeet!! What did you pay for her? Looks like a sound truck.

Wanna sell?

billsbowtie · 03-06-2007, 09:27 PM

it needs rockers and a few odds and ends. it runs out good i got it for a little under 2 gran. i think i paid about $200.00 more than i should have for it. but i needed a truck and it runs good. it also has new tires.

Wow Bill! I didn't know you actually ever intended to drive one of these. I thought you just took them apart and sold the pieces to the rest of us to keep ours rolling!

Seriously, looks like a great start!

qksilver · 03-06-2007, 10:40 PM

How long are you going to keep this one! lol
Looks good,
Steve

Nice find!

Guys around here tell me all the time, "I wish I could find a nice old project truck". I just shake my head, because good examples can still be found if you just look! Your new truck is a perfect example, love it.

billsbowtie · 03-07-2007, 12:01 PM
