ITS AN ORIGINAL 4 SPEED TRUCK ON THE FLOOR. HEADERS AND FLOWMASTER EXHAUST. SOUNDS REALLY GOOD. CLEAN INTERIOR NO TEARS.FRONT DISC BREAKS. NEW RIMS. MOTOR CHROMED FROM PAN TO BREATHER AND EVERYTHING BETWEEN."

Cheap wheels, cheap paint.....chrome bolt-on parts are cheap.....can't put a "value" on a rig like this by just viewing a few pics....
I'd be looking very closely down the body with a paintjob like that......
Despite all that, the engine looks CLEAN....so if it runs good and drives nice, and more importantly, if it's what ya want...go for it. It look pretty good.

Id check the rockers, floorboards and cab mounts for rot. If its rust free, and you really like it, Id go for it. Wheres the hood for the truck?

Isnt he aloud to ask whats it worth if he is looking to buy it. Just not if he is looking to sell a truck? That was how I read the rules anyway...

Yes that is true, but he is not allowed to post his car for sale. SOM is correct, and the post was edited to keep it open.

Sorry. I must have missed where he posted his for sale other than in his story about how the guy wanted to trade for his car he is selling... Thats my bad!

No worries...

I agree with the other opinions. check, recheck and then recheck again for rust.

PhilaTruck · 03-20-2010, 09:31 AM

Yep, check for rust. Take a magnet to find bondo. Look on the firewall for rust, where the fenderwells meet the firewall.
