ick!!!

PHOENIX · 01-09-2003, 02:20 PM

minor body work required? That looks like a little more then minor body work required.

J-Spec C10 · 01-09-2003, 02:46 PM

Yikes, nice base for restoration (it is a stepside) It is easy to spend a lot of money on the things you never see, but they could have at least washed the truck.

I wonder what the frame/floors look like.....

*1FaastC10* · 01-09-2003, 05:53 PM

heh, where was that beast when i was looking for a SWB frame? paid $200 for a bare frame alone. if i could've got a whole truck that cheap it would have been a whole lot easier to work on.

navybear70 · 01-10-2003, 02:33 AM

Body looks pretty rough yes, buuuuut... if the motor is new and everything else they said too, then I'd say a cheap beginning for a frame-off is brewing there!

Let's be honest, parts are easy to find, (well,not here...

) but getting it safe and running sweet can be expensive. (Hence their $3000 in receipts.) The question is, whats the reserve price set at?

79BIG10 · 01-10-2003, 02:36 AM

$3000+ plus on the engine and no pics? LMAO!!!

bill_ont_canada · 01-10-2003, 04:08 AM

That truck don't look bad, you should see some of the rust buckets for sale here in Ontario.

They make that one on e Bay look like Mint condition.
Sure wish we were closer to Arizona or Calif it would make finding parts a lot easier.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-10-2003, 09:16 AM

to me the truck is worth $300 as it sits... unless i saw some definate proof that the receipts matched the stuff alledgedly performed on the truck Ive seen way to many scams on ebay to believe anything posted on there

BigRed · 01-10-2003, 09:38 AM

Bob, are you saying people on Ebay are dishonest! Never! LOL I would do a major bumper to bumper inspection on any vehicle I bought via eBay and assume nothing.

Low87 · 01-10-2003, 10:37 AM

"minor bodywork" Sure, all you'd have to do is replace all the body panels. Notice the custom front fenders? Looks like something you mudders do to yours.

BigRed · 01-10-2003, 02:31 PM

I wanted to add another one to this thread. This guy is really proud of his truck!!!!

Yes, some states have multiple year inspections. My brother lived in Maryland and they do that. But you have to come up with alot more money at one time though!

PHOENIX · 01-10-2003, 06:20 PM

Here is AZ we have one year or two year. Its $20 for one year or $38.00 for two years. Emissions testing is $25.00 per test and you get one free re-rest if you fail, then you pay $25.00 again. If you register for 1 year you have to go to emissions every year, but if you register for 2 years then you only have to get tested every 2 years atleast thats what I was told and thats what I do.

I dont know if Deleware does 2 years or not.

gchemist · 01-10-2003, 08:29 PM

?????

For that much is the first daughter included??

LOL
He is also from the Texas Panhandle where I'm from. Very nice truck but way too much.

I did see the mirrors on the truck. I like them but I want mine to be different.

Modify!!!! I want to add to my trophy collection this summer.

bill_ont_canada · 01-11-2003, 02:08 AM

That seccond truck sure is a pretty thing...
I don't know about 20 grand tho. hmmmmm ???
