Almost Wrecked today... Wife punched me...Pics

when I saw this truck sitting in a near by town. It is a great looking truck, and thought someone here will give it the home it deserves. Just so happened to be my 4 year old daughters birthday so we had a camera. Is it a members ride? It is located in North Eastern Utah. I just found out I am loosing my job in a few months, so no hope of me buying it. Also if someone here picks it up I want a ride in it once.

Enjoy....

Oh one last one you might want to see... I really like this truck, but again there is no chance my wife will entertain the thought. I know have some plans for the restore of my grandpas truck...

i know he isnt asking 23g for it, but i dont think he'll get anywhere close to that dollar amount....i think he might be able to get 6g outta it, espscially since it needs engine work...

Hey,where are you located?In Moffit County?That`s a pretty paint job,but a bit too personalized to please some other`s tastes.He`s got a lot of money into pretty and then the motor takes a poop so he wants to sell it.The only way to get anything out of it`s cosmetics is put a cam in it.I guess he`s disgusted with it but not as disgusted as when the truth in it`s value hits.He`s got to spend a little more to lose a little less or just cut`n`run.

I agree. He really should fix the issue, what ever it is... On the flip side, I really wonder what he thinks is reasonable? It has only been sitting there at most a couple weeks. If it sits long enough, I am sure it will go for a good price. Like I said if I had any idea as to my employment in a few months, I would be looking at it hard. However, I am pretty certain that selling and moving will leave us broke. I do hope it goes to a good home as it is a pretty truck.

Nice looking truck but I would have done some things differently. Like others have said, A little too personalized for my taste. For 23K you could get something much nicer. I'd be curious what he expects to get out of it.

Reading the FS sign, does GM even offer a stall converter? I know back in the day guys would use the small diameter converter out of a Vega to get a higher stall but I don't think GM actually offer a performance stall converter. Who spends 23K and then stops at a bad cam and puts it up for sale. Just about guarantee there is more to the story. And fix that trim on the rear side marker light.

Man.....for 23K I'd hope to end up with something worth more than that. I know paint can eat up some cash but I'm just not seeing where it all went to. Then again....It might have just been a ROACH when he/she started.

Funny too if they would have just done a 3/5 or a 5/7 drop it would make a huge difference and the wheels would actually look better.

He's lying about the $23K, unless he had some rip off shop do every little thing for him.

23K could be possible if he dropped a lot of cash in rebuilding that engine .............and failed in doing it right
