Did some horse trading today... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 01-24-2009, 08:06 PM

oldiron (Dennis) came out to the farm today to look at my 71 K10. We came to a mutual agreement and now he's the owner of my truck and Im the owner of his 41 Caddy.

NW guys get ready for a work party BBQ up at Dennis's place in a month or two. He wants to swap a few things on the 71 that is just too much for one guy to do alone. a big plus is that he has a large shop with lifts and no Monroe bird poo =). More to come on this later...PM me if you wanna talk about it.

Im also working on a possible trade deal for my 71 K20 with another friend of mine. Ill post up pictures if that one goes through.

biggreen292 · 01-24-2009, 08:32 PM

there was a 39 caddy on craigslist here recently, cant find it now but it looked complete and was only 1500, i thought it a really good deal.

**Palf70Step** · 01-24-2009, 08:45 PM

Looks like a cool swap. Too bad I am so fer away. I'd love to help. Heck I would have loved to help you out of your 71.

ETsC10 · 01-24-2009, 09:05 PM

Congrats to you both...looks like a great swap! Hey Dennis; bet you could have really used that beast last month

Kayotic · 01-24-2009, 09:13 PM

At first I started shaking my fist at you, But yeah that is a cool car, I am running it through Google now...

Cool deal.

LOL...Why would you shake your fist?

Kayotic · 01-24-2009, 09:50 PM

I was trying to picture the caddy in my head, Let's just say it wasn't what I thought I was going to see..

Longhorn Man · 01-24-2009, 09:54 PM

Wish i could swing by and help.

Me too, we could use you to spark things up around here. Hopefully we can get a good turn out. It will be a good chance to meet some great people and a good time to learn more about our trucks.

Ill buy a lotto ticket and if I win Ill pay to have you come out =)

Bob 68327 · 01-25-2009, 01:02 AM

Congrats!! What are your plans for the Caddy?? It's a sweet ride .

**oldiron** · 01-25-2009, 01:42 AM

Well I'm happy I now have a running truck and maybe CG will have more round tuits than I had. The caddy has a 72 Nova subframe with disc brakes, power steering and 1975 500 cid Caddy running gear, 400 turbo and 75 Caddy rear end. I will try to find picture of it for later.
Here are some pictures I took today of the K10.

CG · 01-25-2009, 01:44 AM

Geeze...I knew I shoulda shined the old girl up first lol

72armyswbtruck · 01-25-2009, 01:45 AM

Well CG looks like your gonna have lots to do in the near future.

Chevyman680063 · 01-25-2009, 01:51 AM

Nice trade and even nicer Cadillac.

**70cst** · 01-25-2009, 03:33 AM

to CG and oldiron on a sweet trade. Looks like you both did well.

stllookn · 01-25-2009, 03:56 AM

Sweet deal for both of you!!!! Count me in on the work party...I think I can still find oldiron's place. I would consider a caravan going north between all of us "South-Enders". What are we doing and what do I need to bring...oldiron really does have ALL the tools and toys!

Brad · 01-25-2009, 08:24 AM

Count me in on the work party and Mike and I can cara-truck up there! I'm sure I could bring a few more folks from down south.

big_al_71 · 01-25-2009, 08:41 AM

Cool deal!!!!! Congrats to both of you, I would be more than willing to help but between work and being accross the nation makes it a bit difficult..

ETsC10 · 01-25-2009, 09:30 AM

I'm in..sounds like fun!

Sport/Truck · 01-25-2009, 09:47 AM

Another cool part about this trade is it was between two members!
Congrats to you both!

68,69 K20 · 01-25-2009, 09:49 AM

Looks like a great deal to me, lovin that Caddy

1956cameo · 01-25-2009, 10:26 AM

After chevy trucks and 50s chevy cars old 30s-50s caddys are my favorite vehicles. That is a sweet deal for both, however I really like the caddy!!!

stllookn · 01-25-2009, 12:54 PM

Dennis and Mark, What is on the agenda for work? Let's schedule around the Superbowl, Corvette and HP Swap meet and the Early Bird Swap meet. Just a thought!

C20-67_N_MO · 01-25-2009, 01:18 PM

Congrats!

Looks like you guys have a plan in the works!

CG · 01-25-2009, 01:34 PM

I think the work party will happen after the early swap meets are over. With the truck he also gets all the stuff I had that was eventually going to go into it. Front axel, drivers door, core support, inner fenders, seat foams and cover, dash pad, door panels...etc etc etc...you get the idea. It will all be laid out over in the NW section.
