$1000 might take it ?

[omodified]

I guess the 1% incomplete is the front left marker light. Definitely a good start for the price though.

if he has a transferable registration there should b no problem getting a title in a state that requires a title/// when i moved to florida(a title state) i brought 3 trucks with me from new york(non title state) and there was no problem at all getting a title with the transferable registrations

is the front wheel to far back in the wheel well? Looks off by an inch or 2.

Looks ok to me ?

That's a trailing arm / coil truck too. For $1k it would be worth a shot at a title. Drop a decent 350 / TH350 in it and some rallys and it would be a $4000-$5000 truck easily. More than that if you do the title legwork.

would you say its worth 1000 if the rockers or floor board and bed are rusted out ? i have a 327 motor and a turbo 400 tranny ready to drop in something ..

[shawno72]

Just buy it. That's a $2500 truck all day long here without a title.

Definitely looks like a good start. IMO it's worth the price he is asking. Hard to find them short beds anymore, especially from the looks. In person in my show out different. I would try to talk him down if I was buying, but I probably wouldn't pass it up if he wouldn't take a lower offer. Title's are too easy to get.

Without a doubt. Go get it man! It's not going to last long. I'm looking for a trailer now. .. just sayin.

Guys, all you need is a tag receipt. Something that legally shows this guy has ownership of the truck. Ex. he has the LEGAL right to sell it to you. If he never got a title for it it's likely because he's in a state that doesn't really require or issue them anymore. My question would be has he ever registered it in his name? If that answer is yes, you better snap it up. Take this to the DMV with a notarized bill of sale, and you're good.

Be prepared t ohave a licensed dealer take a look at the truck and appraise it. This is the way the DMV will tax you on it. (on this number) Take pictures of the rust, take pictures of the no motor / trans, etc. Make it look as bad as you can to get the total value (appraised by your friend the dealer) as low as possible.

Talk to your local sherrifs dept. Ask them to run it through their 'Hot List' They will know what you mean. You need to check the VIN on the frame rail, and on the inner door plate. See if it matches. As well as the SPID on the glove box door. Make sure it's an original SWB .. 115 in wheelbase, not 127in

I'm tellin ya.. the bed is worth $500 if it's decent. Again, if I can pull the money together I may look at it too. If you guys beat me to it that's cool, I don't really need another one. I'd just buy it to flip it.

he emailed me back , said he would send some more photos ...
i would like to have it, but i have three project trucks now ... guess four would not make much difference ... i notice your aviater , do you do body work , painting , etc ... ?

[CC69Rat]

I do some of my own, but I don't have a shop or anything. I am looking at one though. Just not sure it will pan out.

It's a NICE 24x80 shop, three bays with an office and a perfect place in the back for a paint booth. If the economy was better, I would look for trucks like this. Put a motor and trans in them, clean them up with some nice wheels and tires and just park them out front. If you buy them right (like this yellow one) and put say, $1800 is a set of wheels and tires, $800 in a drop kit and 5 lug conversion (OE Disc / drum), $1500 in a good 350, $500 transmission. .. $1000 misc. I'm seeing about $7k investment + your time. And a truck like that ($10-12k range) is still fairly easy to sell around where I live. A lot of people are reverting back to the old trucks.

Man that's nice! Go get it Rat. Get it get it get it. Course maybe your afraid you might like it too much to flip that would be me lol. Looks like it deserves a good home. For that price, even the color would grow on me

Sounds like a nice shop ... I agree about the trucks profit wise , just dont
know about enough buyers ? If you get it rolling and want some investors,
holler , I got two long bed 70's and a couple engines and was rolling around
the same ideas , just I dont have the time ...

Man if it was close to me i would buy it, I have a motor and tranny and would have that running in a weekend.

Im not going to be able to pick it up, .. but I hope maybe someone can. Just wanted to share the link. I hope it goes to a member (?) If he sends more pictures, please post them up.

I'd buy it if I could, just nowhere to put it and I have two projects going already.

[HotRod C/10]

I paid 2100.00 for one in not much better shape.

Yeah, but finding one in the area that it's in, it's hard to find one that isn't half rusted away (makes me wonder if it is bondo slathered or someone invested some time and patch panels before they decided to move on). Yours is a good find and probably more of them in that condition in NM.

[CC69Rat]

Just sayin it would be worth looking at.. could be rusty, hard to say really
