Help please
I'm looking at a 66 GMC longbed. 305 v-6, 3 in the tree. It runs out nice. Everything works. Is it worth $2500? I'm sure it will sell fast if I don't jump on it.

Re: Help please
Fenders have rust at the bottom. Rockers have very little rust. Everything else is solid.

Re: Help please
Seems good to me. I have seen these not running or without engine/trans for $2500.

Re: Help please
I know very little about GMC's in particular, but where can you find any running and driving vehicle these days for $2500 or less? The fact that it's a classic truck, and you happen to be a classic truck fan, puts you squarely in the drivers seat. I say go get it and have a ball! Just make sure it is what it says it is. What's wrong with the hood? That dent in the corner might just poke out ok.
EDIT: the door appears a bit wavy on a second look. What's under the repaint? Even still, it's a cheap driver. Last edited by oem4me; 07-12-2015 at 08:29 PM. |

Re: Help please
These are photos I took. The photos he put on c.l. look a lot nicer. I've driven this truck. It drives straight down the hiway. The clutch had a lot of travel before the truck begins to move.

Re: Help please
Here's a photo he took. I didn't think the doors looked wavy,but I didn't check them out that closely.

Re: Help please
Tires are in nice shape and has a brand new gas tank. I'm trying to be level headed but I like the truck. That might cloud my judgement.

Re: Help please
I would say running, it is well worth it. The dents and waves in the body can be fixed if you choose too fairly easy, plus you have an extra hood which is something a lot of guys would love to have. Therefore you are really getting it for a few hundred less than $2500.

Re: Help please
No radiator shroud? I'm wondering if that is because it has a monster water pump?

Re: Help please
I don't remember seeing one on TJ's Crustine, so I am thinking they didn't have one.
Dang...TJ types faster than me. ![]()

Re: Help please
Hey tj, it's funny but,I have a 600 edelbrock laying around and was thinking about swaping the 2 barrel out for it. Although the truck runs really well the way it is, would I get better performance and lose mileage? I would like the best of both worlds.
