No Caprice for me, but buying a '68. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Crank · 01-19-2004, 04:10 AM

Alright. Everyone see my thread about the '71 Caprice I wanted to buy with the 402bb and turbo 400. 2700 bucks right. Well everyone was saying stuff, and it made me think, sooo, I went to my brothers today, picked him up and me, my brother, and grandmother drove around lookin for me a new project. Looked at a '69 and a 72. Wanted to check out a 60 Impala, but no title. Sooo, finally we drove back this longass driveway his g/f used to live at the end of, i knew this guy had our era trucks in his field.... and guess what I happened to strike a deal on a '68 SWB 1/2 ton. No title, motor or tranny. Body is shot... who cares. But... it's $2650 cheaper than the Caprice.soooo. I still got the title for my '67, I think I'm gonna go rob the Vin plate off of it, and 2 rear tires, to drag it to my house.... HELL YIZEAH!!!! Also, I need to know th350. Long tailshaft or short in these trucks? To not have to cut a new driveshaft. I still got around 400 bucks to get a motor and **** in it. Also. If anyone wants one around KY. He also has a '71 SWB for 500 rolling or 700 running. Kinda ruff. I need the hookup on good fenders and matching doors if u folks can help me out.

how much did he want for the 60 impala, was it a 2 door hardtop and what was wrong with it. besides no title

Crank · 01-19-2004, 04:52 AM

I couldnt even tell ya man. We just heard no title and his dad is still a lil partial to it, so we layed off. I'll check into it tho.

Crank · 01-19-2004, 05:12 AM

Longhorn Man · 01-19-2004, 08:15 AM

I just about crapped myself...I thought you paid $2650 for that thing....I was about to hit caps lock and go to town.

Maybe you should just use this as a parts truck and spend the remaining cash on a nice truck. IMO that one does sound kinda gone, or at least 3 tires into the grave.

Crank · 01-19-2004, 11:18 AM

Well, you realize that every cab around here you get is gonna need some work, Soo. I reckon I'll just find some new doors and fenders. Cuz they're kinda rotted, I think. And I want a step bed anyway, and it'll be different.....And, then you have the fact that I dont like nice stuff.

junkyardjohn · 01-19-2004, 01:19 PM

No title, motor or tranny. Body is shot... who cares. But... it's $2650

read again!he only paid 50 bucks.it was 2650 cheaper than the caprice.

junkyardjohn · 01-19-2004, 01:34 PM

SHOOT -- I'M SORRY -- $50 IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH IN THE WAY OF USABLE PARTS TO BE WORTH $50 . GOOD DEAL .. MY OPINION OF YOUR BARGAINING SKILLS JUST CLIMBED ABOUT 500000%(5 BAZILLION)

**old Rusty C10** · 01-19-2004, 01:54 PM

sounds like you got your work cut out for ya good luck with your new project

Crank · 01-19-2004, 03:00 PM

Well, I just found out, that the guy that my brother lives with is the guy that sold the truck to the guy I'm buying it off of, so he still has the title. And I just got a th350lockup from the same guy for 50 bucks.... So, now i just need a motor.

**smitty62** · 01-19-2004, 05:09 PM

take the 350C tranny back--you won't like it, trust me

Blue_71 · 01-19-2004, 05:20 PM

hey brandon, come in chat tonight... i may need to talk to you about an engine

*dtlilly* · 01-19-2004, 05:28 PM

Sounds cool, where's the pics?

Do you still have the pink Dodge 5/4 ton military ambulance? If so, what are your plans for it?

krue · 01-19-2004, 06:51 PM

Sounds like a good score to me!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-19-2004, 09:09 PM

Good score breeh let's see some pic's I know you got a camera!!! Whoops's it's crank now sorry guy!!

Longhorn Man · 01-20-2004, 12:24 AM

Trade that TH350C to some poor sap who don't know any better. They are pretty much junk.

Crank · 01-20-2004, 12:27 AM

It was Brabra before. Breeh is still around. Yea, I do got a digicam. I reckon I'll try to get out there this weekend and snap a few pictures. I gotta get out that way anyway, because the Ambulance is gettin traded to my brother, for a Nissan Hardbody, he's gonna use the Ambulance as a work truck, torches and he's gonna cut it apart and put a boom on it. I'm gonna sell the Nissan and my fourwheeler and put some money into this truck, kinda get it shaped up in a hurry.... Or try. Dont wanna lose it like the '67 I had.
Brandon

Crank · 01-20-2004, 12:31 AM

I tried to get my money back, but my brother already gave it to him. Soo. It's kool. I'll use it long enuff to find a good 700r
