What do you think for $1300 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

retselgerg · 08-27-2007, 11:29 PM

Me and dad finally got the deal worked out and got this truck home yesterday..... It's a 72 palin jane ShotStepper, it has been repainted one time, its a 2nd owner truck, no body panels have ever been replaced, the only rust (besides minor surface rust) is the place on the bed fender that you can see in the pic, and another place on other bed fender in almost the same place, the last owner replaced the orginal Straight 6 with a late model 305 H.O and also buckled up a 700R.. its set for about 5 years but was started and moved a little bit..... lol It's an orginal Tenesse truck, the orginal cab corners, rockers, inner fenders, cab mounts and rad support are also rust free, We were told that the orignal owner bathed the whole truck in oil at his service garage,we got under it and looked the entire under body proves correct to that.....
He also gave me a 1962 283 powerpack motor, that has never been rebuilt and has only 64K on it, (but its lockedup) This puppy is all mine and gonna be my first rebuild.
Looks like Dad can love again (after giving me the 69)
any thoughts??

Looks like a heck of a deal for $1,300

OldCreek · 08-27-2007, 11:42 PM

Heck, hardly looks as if it needs a rebuild!

Keep the buck teeth though!

retselgerg · 08-27-2007, 11:46 PM

we actually buffed it out after the pic was taken and it looks really good, yea the " buck teeth grille" that could catch on like low profile tires has.....hahaha

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 08-27-2007, 11:53 PM

This was a steal. I don't think I've seen such a clean truck for such a resonable price. Let's face it this was down right cheap! You will save big time on the body repair end of your project.

good luck on the project, keep us all posted when you begin with progress pic's.

esll.

dan42 · 08-28-2007, 12:57 AM

I agree - that was a great deal. Keep us posted!

Inthuwind · 08-28-2007, 01:01 AM

Hell YEAH!!!

WORNBRAKES · 08-28-2007, 01:20 AM

I also agree with the others. Great buy. You and your dad will have fun with those 2.

72armyswbtruck · 08-28-2007, 04:28 AM

krue · 08-28-2007, 07:24 AM

Great score! The mechanical stuff is easy compared to bodywork so you are way money ahead on this one!

Bishops Trucks · 08-28-2007, 07:25 AM

72BlckButy · 08-28-2007, 08:23 AM

Definitely a steal! That is a great start on a new project truck. However, we need more pics....

Good luck on the build!

Any idea on the scope of the build?

All the trucks I look at are rusty (or painted over rust) and are WAAAAAAAAAAY overpriced.
