Do I Buy it?
 

That is the question. So, a good friend of mine at school owns a 68 c10 4x4, swb step. Has no motor, no trans, but the body looks pretty decent. He's asking $900.00 for it and I just wanted y'alls opinions on it and whether or not you think I should go for it.

It doesnt seem like a bad deal,but at 3.40 a gallon gas would kill you.

Agh well that's the joy of doing a frame off to it. I don't have to worry about buying gas for it for the next ten years :D

Re: Do I Buy it?
 

Here in Calif they say the gas might go up to 5 bucks.
i will be ridding the bike when that happens

You already have a pretty nice project truck, so unless you need a parts truck I would pass on it.

You're only 16, the best advice I can give you is:

ONE project at a time.

Save your $$$ and go to College.

Finish at least one project that you love before you get married and don't ever let her talk you into selling it.

Re: Do I Buy it?
 

Well the plans have changed and this truck will be my dads. He's contemplating on buying it right now. So I'll just be sticking with my 67. As for the wife, any girl I marry will learn beforehand theres no talking me into getting rid of anything of mine.

Better double check , but from what I can tell in the pics. It looks like somebody has put the 68 body over on a newer frame 73- up. There are several differences I noticed right of the bat. The motor mounts, the front bumper, Disc brakes on the front, etc. Might not be an original 4wd.

At 16 years old I would stick to one project at a time.

Re: Do I Buy it?
 

agreed but its always nice to have another parts truck :lol:

if you can get him to lower the price a little...Jump at the opportunity if you got the money, Ide pay good money for that box with those rear fenders honestly.

Re: Do I Buy it?
 

relax... he said no engine.
