got another one
Went to local scrap yard the other day to get parts for my back and forth beater Honda when i see two 67-72 chevys out back. Well I recently sold my 71 gmc lwb and wasnt planning on buying another til I bought a house this spring. I couldn't get them out of my head though so I looked at them. 67 shortbed fleetside complete truck and other was gmc don't know what year. Well everytime I saw this:

Got it home put some fresh fuel in it and it started ran kinda decent too. Well now I'm aware that I will be sinking tons of money into something my wife just can't understand lol. Oh and Honda is up for sale to finance truck. Just thougt I'd share Oh yeah that gmc had factory buckets (someone beat me to and a v6) but he wanted too much and I couldn't get him to budge at all http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0035-1.jpg http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0037-1.jpg |

Re: got another one
Here are some more pics. It's all that i have right now. Yesterday I got some tires put on so I can move it around. Hopefully it won't be raining Sunday and I can get all the brakes replaced. The truck is full of junk but as i was sorting through it I found original owners manual, protecto plate, receipts from payments when it was new, and it was bought new here in the town I live in

I know I paid too much for it seeing how it came from a scrap yard but I saw it on a Friday and couldnt get it out of my head, I couldn't even sleep. So I went back Saturday and the guy who runs the scrap yard said $800. At first I thought no way. I only paid 750 for that 71 gmc and it was running and driving (no reverse though). So I walked around the yard a little and looked it over again. He came out and said its got a clean clear title and I'm crushing it Monday if no one buys it (probably just trying to get me to buy it). I offered him 700 he said anything less than 800 he'd rather crush it. So he got his 800. He was kinda stubborn but I couldn't let it get crushed. He said that grey gmc be crushed Monday as well but as of.yesterday it was still there. |
Re: got another one
I think $800 was a pretty good deal.

Re: got another one
$800.00 is a screaming deal!!! But, what an idiot " I'd rather crush it" yeah right. :lol:

Re: got another one
PATINA,PATINA,PATINA,that look is in....throw some nice wheels on it,and DRIVE,DRIVE,DRIVE.......Can't believe it was headed for the crusher,glad you saved it,been a while since Iv'e been in a junkyard,my eyes would see all kinds of stuff.....the last time I was at a junkyard they had a 69-70 Burb 4x4 Ambulance they were cutting the axles out of it.it had been hit in the front end.could have been saved I was doing some drooling...

Re: got another one
I don't get it, he won't get $800 for the scrap metal out of it. Those pushy bastards have the classic car guys buy the gonads and they know it.
I would have bought it for $800 just to save it. Its a good buy! Now get more pics up. |
Re: got another one
welcome from Texas...i like it. good find and save...keep us up to date on your project...have fun with it.
|
Re: got another one
heck a halfway decent running mostly solid one is well worth the $800, muchless the fact that its a shortbox!

Re: got another one
Good save. I don't think they will let you buy a whole vehicle with title from a junkyard around here.

Re: got another one
Great buy!! id be laughing to get that for 800.00!! I paid 2500, for a shorty, worse condition and no motor or trans. Not to mention yours is a 67, good save. Be a shame to hurt that truck

Re: got another one
Wish I could find myself a 67 that looked that good for that price!!!

Re: got another one
Found another one today 1970 C10 Short bed power sterring manual brakes 6 lug with a running 350 and 350 auto transmission, Motor has a little tick in the top end of the motor but I think it can be bought for $1000

Re: got another one
great find
|
Re: got another one
Nice!! I bought my '70 GMC in Cleveland TN...wished I had seen this one. Great Score!!!
|
Re: got another one
Sweet score. Super plain jane- weird to see it was a 283 originally. Figured it would be the frugal friendly 250. I'd like to have that truck, something appealing about a simple 67 with killer patina.
|
Re: got another one
Thanks for the comments / congratulations. Work on it has been slow but I did drive it the other day and it drove and shifted great. Working on replacing entire brake system this weekend to be safe.
|
Re: got another one
Sweet truck! Nice score.
