Looks like you found another gem. I am sure for that price he won't sign anything. From what i can see, i would be leary. Not sure about one door being rusty and nothing else. Also looks like it has been lowered? Check to see if the springs were heated up. If you can't hear the engine run, consider it a builder i am sorry to say. Price seems a little high to me. Interior any good?

Wootdog · 02-25-2010, 06:44 PM

I would see if I could get it to start. If not, the price goes down drastically as Too Much Stuff states. It don't run, it is a boat anchor.

Price seems WAY too high for not hearing it run. And all the stuff not hooked up?

Save your money. Look on the Trucks for Sale section of this board. Plenty of decent trucks there.

any ways to check to see if i could get it to start like things i could do check fuses i have no idea

monte0185 · 02-25-2010, 07:17 PM

Price is high for not running. Im in the area and will go check it out with you if you wish. I would check the surrounding area craigslist also. I look at them regularly and find some decent deals on running trucks. I have a trailer and am always up for a road trip.

memphismade.l.a.w · 02-25-2010, 08:10 PM

Thanks monte0185 I really need help pm sent

jsmithbm · 02-25-2010, 08:19 PM

eh, i would pass. i would rather find a rust bucket thats bone stock than buy someone elses hack job.

Wootdog · 02-25-2010, 08:19 PM

That is why I really like this site. Members willing to help each other.

memphismade.l.a.w · 02-25-2010, 08:41 PM

Yeah I see what ur sayn on the hackjob and as well I love the fact that ppl help bc on many other places nobody dose

**lks dcvn** · 02-25-2010, 08:58 PM

I would pass on this one for the price...keep looking though - they are out there.

memphismade.l.a.w · 02-25-2010, 09:10 PM

yeah i understand im gonna try and talk him down alot

GASoline71 · 02-25-2010, 09:34 PM

That truck is worth about 800 bucks... running or not.

But I would pass, if it's all boogered up from someone else.

Gary

memphismade.l.a.w · 02-25-2010, 09:47 PM

ok man its just hard to findem around this price being a swb

GASoline71 · 02-25-2010, 10:21 PM

Short Bed... Long Bed... I know everybody wants the Shorty's...

But I'm a long bed guy. So I would tell ya not to get hung up on the "Short" part of it, and just look for a truck in nice shape... be it short or long bed.

Gary

memphismade.l.a.w · 02-25-2010, 10:46 PM

he changed the price to 1300

thank you all, Gage

Diablo de la Noche · 02-25-2010, 10:53 PM

I may be wrong here, but get the best truck you can afford. I got cheap and picked up one for $950. I have put at least that into it and still have to get a new tranny, wiring, engine stuff, etc, etc. If I would have found one for $2000, it would have been running and I would have been able to drive it. With a truck that isn't running, you have to assume that you are going to need to replace everything. My wife said I got ripped off, but I told her it is cheaper than going to mechanic school. I'm going to be one heck of a classic chevy expert when I'm done.

lol man sorry to hear you got ripped off im tryn to stay away from that but i only have 1100 dollars that i can spend bc im 16 so theres not to much more i can get and i can fix cars and all im good with that and my neghibor is a welder/mechanic so all i need is the truck so i can start working on something im getting addicted to these old trucks as my mom and gf say lol thanks for the advice god bless y'all

**jerry moss** · 02-26-2010, 12:48 AM

even if there is a "wiring issue" you should be able to "hot wire" it to check out whether or not it will run or if he's pulling your leg. just make sure it's in park or neutral and the e-brake set first

memphismade.l.a.w · 02-26-2010, 01:10 AM

hot wire hmmmm lol he said there is no fire to the ignition

1968CHEVYC10 · 02-26-2010, 01:17 AM

shoot sounds like more than a "short" you can jump the posts on the starter to at least see if it will turn over.

**Ron 586** · 02-26-2010, 01:20 AM

PM me your phone number and a best time to call and I'll see if I can get you riding.
