Darn, Texas is sooo far!

1956cameo · 01-24-2009, 04:52 PM

Thats a shame because it looks like it would take care of everything that is on your wanted list below your posts.

72armyswbtruck · 01-24-2009, 04:52 PM

That there just makes me want to cry.

I could possibly take the 67 if you want the 69.

$350 each. I think I could take the 69 pending what the engine is and how it is running. Im 100% down at that cost. You have a tow rig?

I'll ride up there with you. Lol

**clay68c10** · 01-24-2009, 07:05 PM

That is a good deal. Just shows that all the real deals are hiding out in the country.

Kayotic · 01-24-2009, 07:06 PM

I might be in on this one! Id give $450. for the '69.

I'l take the cab off the '69 if it's in ok shape if someone beats me to it..

looks like the '69 has no front glass.

If someone goes and takes a look let me know what you find?

Im really only looking for a 350 engine and a nicer grill and steering wheel.

If I get this, I can sell title+cab for like $250 to you?

yellowGT · 01-24-2009, 08:22 PM

Everything is just so far all the time.

Who's going to bring me the '69 up to Dallas? Its only two hundred miles.

Kayotic · 01-24-2009, 08:34 PM

1969 was the year they replaced the 327 with a 350. If that cab is in ok shape I would be willing to drag it here. The cab I have now was clobbered on the front corners of the roof, causing the doors to be miss aligned. (I'll have to get pics of it) It was enough to damage the inner and outer skins as well as push in some of the windsheild lip.

So I am thinking if need be I can straighten this cab I have now, Or replace a bunch of metal on another cab. The cab I have now is pretty dry though.

If we can arrainge some pics that would be great...

Note: I guess the doors aren't miss aligned it's the door opening of the cab. Even the filler neck opening was distorted.

texanidiot25 · 01-25-2009, 02:22 AM

It's in the Houston CL as well, so make sure it's in really in Auston lol... But pretty sure his area code is Auston if I remember right.

What's TX's laws on titles and cabs?

I have some family friends in Austin, if anyone needs a place to hold I can try and talk them into it. They live in a gated community, so the association may not like it.

It is a REALLY tempting deal, if I could convince my dad to sacrafice some back yard space, but I don't think he wants another project sitting out agian.

yellowGT · 01-25-2009, 03:05 AM

Should be Austin cause where they are sitting is a little east of Austin.

1956cameo · 01-25-2009, 09:13 AM

Yeah I checked the location and the trucks are just a little east of Austin. That means that they are even closer to all you guys in Houston and Dallas than you thought. I map quested it and its only 150 mile away from my house. All you guys on the north west side of houston are propably actually less than 100 mile away from them! Is someone going to buy them or am I going to have to call the guy later on and go pick them up tommorrow? I wouldn't think about it too long if any of you are interested, if they are in Houston and Austin and propably Dallas CL then that means ALOT of people are seeing the ad!!

jdstx · 01-25-2009, 09:30 AM

I'll take the 67. Someone meet me there this afternoon and we can split the $200.

chrislehr · 01-25-2009, 10:30 AM

has anyone called the seller yet?

jdstx · 01-25-2009, 10:54 AM

Yep, the 67 sounds about right for the price, rough. I did not ask about the 69. Also, he is not at Elgin, he is at Blue.

**WIDESIDE72** · 01-25-2009, 12:22 PM

Blue is between Lexington and Elgin. (East of Elgin). Where in the ad does it say the 69 is a V8? Or did he say this over the phone? I wish i had not just had to pay property taxes!!!! My wife would kill me, as our rent house is empty right now.

chrislehr · 01-25-2009, 01:02 PM

ok, I sucked it up and emailed about the 69. I HATE calling people on weekends (I spend a lot of time on the phone at work)

theyammieguy · 01-25-2009, 08:39 PM

I'll take the 67 front clip.

chrislehr · 01-25-2009, 09:40 PM

he called me. its an I6. I am passing on it.

If anyone wants to make it worth my while, I offer to part and ship whatever you want off it an split the difference on parts you dont want.

Kayotic · 01-25-2009, 11:48 PM

Yeah I guess I am going lay off this on also, Headed for a bad week in the markets. Kinda got me down. It was fun while it lasted. I would still like to find a decent cab that won't fall apart on the way over here.

tex_waco_usmc · 01-26-2009, 06:44 AM

Hey ya'll,

I am in Kempner Texas and I have a tow rig. I need a few of the smaller parts off of the 67. I will be home in a week. If the trucks are still there I will go and get them if someone wants to buy what is left. Just let me know. BTW: I am in Kuwait headed home from Iraq!!!! See ya'll real soon.
