Ok, so heres the background, im 16, unemployed, and running the truck on birthday money. Im so desperate for employemnt that its not even funny but thats not important. So a friend said he'd sell me a 73 front clip for 100 bucks, Rad. support, harness, lights, grille etc. So should i spend the money to buy it? i dont need the fenders or any, just the hood. so should i or not?

I say look around on Craigslist in your area. There's an extra hood for mine on a nearby Craigslist for $50 and my buddy gave me a extra for free, so look around first.

a new front end may impress your sexy date, but it will not get her home.

start mowing lawns dude.. become a descent handy man..
someone will always need help with something...

dont buy things until you have the expendable cash to do it..

I say save the money. Get back with a steady paycheck and then worry about parts for the truck. Just my .02

i have mowed lawns in the past. im working with my hands is all i know. i've devoted my whole life to cars. so its all i know, and my hands worki alot better than my head. it's just a good deal, id sell the rest not the amber turns though! haha. I'd have my daddy buy it, but um yah, that aint right in my opion, you gotta work for it, so if i sold what i didnt need, what do you guys think? and my GF will love my clip!
