Selling Out

[John39671]

I think I am ready to get rid of everything. My wife says she is ready for new carpet and I am tired of my trucks setting around the house not being appreciated.

1st truck. 1986 K10 SWB. I bought this truck for and fixed it up for my son. When he turned 18 in April he though he knew it all and moved out. Now the trucks sets here and hasn't moved since. We did all the body work we could, Im in a wheelchair and only 4' tall, and then primed it and I had a friend paint it, even in the box. Truck has 350 with 4-speed, new clutch and transfer case. He went through the clutch and 208 after driving it for a month. 33x12.5x15 Cooper All-Terrain tires, Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels, Bushwacker fender flares, stainless steel rocker panels, CD player with custom boxes behind seat and new speakers under new dash pad. I am sure there is alot more, we have over 5k invested 2 years ago. I am asking 3300 OBO.


2nd truck. I bought this for me and have kind of lost interest. I did most of the work 3 years ago and dont have 900 miles on. I drove the truck 4 times last ear a total of 150 miles.
It is a 84 SWB 2WD, lowered 3" in front with drop spindles, 5" in rear with a shackel kit and we also took a spring out.
Balanced and blueprinted 396/402 out of my 72 RS/SS Camaro. FOrged steele crank, Keith Black pistons, Crane cam, Edelbrock carb and manifold. Doug THorley headders with 2 1/2" full exh and V-Force mufflers. Goodmark Steel cowel hood. CD player with custom boxes and new speakes under new dash pad. Needs paint. Asking 5500 OBO.


Neither truck has any rust just a little bondo in the RR bed of the 84 and what little icing we used on the 86.

I also have a wicked 383 stroker. Scat crank, H-Beam rods, Sealed Power coated skirt pistons, Comp full roller cam and lifters, (specs available upon request). ARP main studs and head studs, Moroso windage tray, oil pan and pickup. BLock has been magged, decked, torque plated .030, line honed and complety balanced, blue printed and assembled.
Heads are a "186" casting double hump with accy holes from a 69 Camaro/Corvette. Heads were stripped, tanked magged and bead blasted. We installed new guides, hardned seats for unleaded fuel and surfaced flat. THen we did a 3 angle valve grind and replaced all the old parts with new. World 2.02/1.60 under cut stainless valves, Comp guide plates and springs, ARP 7/16x7/16 screw-in-studs and hardned keepers along with Comp oversized 3/8 push rods and full roller 7/16 rocker arms. I dont know how much I have in the motor since it has been a 2 year project. Motor is still on engine stand in the shop. Asking 3800 OBO

THe only bad thing I am up here in Oregon. Either of the trucks or the motor would be well worth it to come get or have shipped. More pics available.

I forgot I have extra hood, I/O fenders and power doors. THey will go with either truck.

[N2TRUX]

You should put the trucks in the For Sale forum. I think you would get better results.

[John39671]

I did try up there but didnt get to man replies. I guess I could try again. I am really movitated to sell. Especially the trucks, I would drop the price on either one if someone was really interested.
John

[N2TRUX]

Just a suggestion. I have been working hard to get as much activity in that forum as possible.

Good luck with your sales.

[John39671]

N2TRUX I updated my ads in the Trucks For Sale section. They are kinda old but still on the first and second page.

[Rollinsqrbdy]

[John39671]

[John39671]

I still have everything. I someone is interested in anything let me know. I am droping prices. 3K for the 86 K10, 4500 for the 84 C10 and 3200 for the stroker.

Here is what happened to me the last time I passed through Baker City. Apparently the rental car had been carrying drugs during a prior rental.

[Wild83C10]

Look like nice trucks and a good price. I was looking for a truck like the K10 about 6 months ago. Too bad you are on the other coast. Good luck with the sale.

[PhilaTruck]

TTT: Nice trucks.

[John39671]

Thanks for the praise guys. Sorry I havent been here in a while. My oldest son, 19, passed away last week. I still have the 84 C10 and the 383 and have lost interest in doing anything with them.
If i ever sell them I am going to convert his 84 K10 so I can drive it. I am going to put hand controls, transfer lift at the seat and wheelchair lift in the bed. That way I can still keep a part of him with me. His truck is the one in my avaitar.
Thanks, John

John, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

[John39671]

Thanks Nate.
Before I wasnt really that interested in selling, but now I need to. The state of Oregon has wierd laws where they do not do autopsy's on all deaths. If we want one we have to pay for it ourself.
My son died as a result of an accidental overdose of methadone supplied by someone here in town. So far our "Keystone Cops" havnt been able to figure anything out. Meanwhile my son is still at the funeral home, where he has been for the last 14 days. They just released his body today.
There is a huge story that the people who were with him when he passed that is being told to the police, but they keep us in the dark. I thought it is time to get our own lawyer so a friend of mine gave me the number of one that is a good friend to him. Hopefully after we explain our situation to him he can give us some recomndations.
If nothing comes out of this investigation I dont know what i am going to do next to taking the law into my own hands.
