Picked up a 87 swb.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rustSpot · 06-30-2008, 02:17 AM

Truck was purchased by a West Texas man at the age of 74. He owned the truck up until he passed at the age of 95. Truck was driven less then 6k miles per year! Passed on to a family member the truck was freshened up with new pads, shoes, drums, power steering pump, hoses, plugs, wires cap, rotor etc. etc. After all of the work was completed he purchased a newer vehicle and decided to let this one go rather then sit. Not sure of the future plans, maybe keep....maybe sell.

killthewabbit · 06-30-2008, 08:55 PM

Maybe he quit driving it because there's no seat.

Looks good, dude.

cjracing15 · 06-30-2008, 09:36 PM

slugish · 06-30-2008, 10:19 PM

looks like a good keeper, small errand truck if nothing else. Throw and old milk crate in there to sit on and you're good to go!

rustSpot · 07-10-2008, 08:02 PM

It is a keeper BUT I think I will let it go. Need to concentrate on my 67...AGAIN!

f.monroe · 07-10-2008, 08:33 PM

Hey man , join the board and list that thing in the Trucks for sale section . The sell of the truck will put money in your pocket , make you a member of the board , and someone will probably be getting a nice start on a truck . I might even be interested .

Please be aware that you are treading very close breaking to the rules here.
The statement "Maybe keep maybe sell" can/will bring offers to buy.

Discription for buyers?

Though you have not actually offered it here, the messege is fairly clear, and you have not specifically mentioned local sale.

Sorry, didn't intentionally mean to break the rules. Wasn't trying to sell it on here just sayin! I will join the board....

andresco50 · 07-11-2008, 04:15 AM

Eyegore · 07-11-2008, 09:53 AM

Nice truck, so what happened to the seat? Did he die on it and it had to be removed??? lol!

Hope not, he may not be able to get the smell outta there.

86swb · 07-11-2008, 12:46 PM

It is a keeper but I see where you are coming from. I am sure you could use the money from the sale fo fix up your other truck. Become a paying member (only $25.00 a year) and put it on here for sale. Sounds like you already have some interest in your truck on here.

rustSpot · 07-11-2008, 02:13 PM

Did become a paying member! Hasn't cleared yet I guess. Oh, the seat....it was only out for cleaning. I'll put this in the for sale section soon with a pic of the seat!!

**texassquarebodies** · 07-13-2008, 02:43 PM

I see you put it for sale on the dallas craigslist....
