Fell in love with this truck today..... uh-oh! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TwoFiftyShifter · 08-06-2009, 09:08 PM

Love at first sight some might call it..... I've been hunting craiglist for a decent 73-87 4X4 for a daily driver..... somehow I spotted this one for sale in the next town. 87 Scottsdale K20, 4X4, Creeper Box, bench seat, long fleet, S-O-L-I-D. Almost rust free..... and thats underneath the thing! The windeshield said "new motor", so it might be a 350, which is sick. Problem is, no one was around and no price. I am DYING to know what the price is. It's at a towing place and they werrent open. I guessed they ask for $5500? Price guesses maybe? What do you guys think? If it turns out to be as nice as it looks I'll have to try to just take out the loan and take it home!!!!

Dapper Dan · 08-06-2009, 10:06 PM

I like it. Hope it works out for you. Whats with the lights in the air dam, was that an option or are they aftermarket. Never seen those before

**old Rusty C10** · 08-06-2009, 10:48 PM

just add the silver two tone and a cowl hood and thats what im trying to build looks great!!

TwoFiftyShifter · 08-06-2009, 10:59 PM

What do you guys think the asking price will be? If you guess I'll come in tomorrow when I find out and tell ya.

Igotachevyor2 · 08-07-2009, 07:56 AM

They look to be an aftermarket add on.

I'm going to say $4500 so that way it gives you hope of a great deal. Looks like a real clean truck.

TwoFiftyShifter · 08-07-2009, 01:19 PM

WOW. Turns out the asking price is $3K!! I'm going to look at it after work. All the guy told me was that it has a new motor with 0 miles on it, and it has a leak between the tranny and tcase.

JohnC · 08-07-2009, 01:27 PM

What do I win?

glock35ipsc · 08-07-2009, 02:02 PM

Wow, I'd be all over that like stink on a rainbow family member for $3k!!

TwoFiftyShifter · 08-07-2009, 05:38 PM

Well, I just got back. I inspected it further, and it looks like all it needs is that leak fixed, driveable as is though. Im 90% positive I'm gonna go for it. I test drove it.... and it was so cool. It's gonna be way cooler driving that thing to and fro than my trashed '95 Jetta, just gotta pay for all the gas. Guy says he'd take 2500 for it as is, but he wouldnt go any lower when I tried to bargain with him. We will see what the next week brings..... Took a few more cell phone pics, I'll upload them.

glock35ipsc · 08-07-2009, 05:46 PM

I don't know how popular those are in NY, but here it would be gone in a few seconds at that price. Don't let it slip away!

Curly86 · 08-07-2009, 09:55 PM

Another truck stolen

dbmx66 · 08-07-2009, 10:38 PM

that looks pretty nice. the first thing i would do is take the running boards off. but thats a nice truck.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 08-07-2009, 10:46 PM

Wow sweet looking truck from here. 2500$ Don't sound bad at all either that thing would be gone pretty quick up here for that much. Looks super straight and clean inside I say go for it if you can make it work

Driveway Dreams · 08-07-2009, 10:54 PM

Just go for it!! B U Y T H E T R U C K!!

PRUNEDA · 08-08-2009, 12:30 AM

Looks like a nice truck; the price makes it look even better. If the leak is the only problem, that is a steal.

baggedcten · 08-08-2009, 01:04 AM

I would buy it good price and you said it drove good so buy it!!!

texasfunk · 08-08-2009, 02:00 AM

i say go for it! for some reason, these things arent selling anymore, i had to let mine go for 2500

81swb with a fresh 454/400

TwoFiftyShifter · 08-08-2009, 03:32 PM

Inspected it further today, and took a longer test ride. Everything checks out except the following - Driver door lock doesnt work, left turn signal doesnt cancel, fuel gauge doesn't work, and of course the tranny to tcase leak. Also, I couldnt pull the passenger seat belt out of the housing, it was locked where it comes off the floor, that should be easily fixed. I took a couple pics with my camera instead of my phone. I offered the guy $2300 and left my number. If he doesnt go for it, I'll still buy it for $2500, no questions asked.

dbmx66 · 08-09-2009, 12:00 AM

either price is still a deal

**78 Big10 454** · 08-09-2009, 12:05 AM

You can have a lot of fun with that truck. I say, "Go for it!"
