f/s 78 1ton 4x4 3+3 in Indiana - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Troy-Built · 12-26-2006, 09:33 AM

The body is junk (you can throw a cat through it)but drivetrain is all intact. This is a single wheel not a dually. I bought this from the original owner. It has been sitting in the pasture for ten years but all of the tires were up but one. They parked it because the body was falling off of it (go figure). Obviously, it has a Dana 60 front with 4:11's with rear 14 bolt with positrac. It has a 350 (believe it or not it isn't stuck)4 speed with a 205 transfer case. There are quite a few options on the truck including air, tilt wheel, factory tach and rear slider. I would like 1500 out of the truck. It is already on my trailer ready for delivery. lol I bought this as package deal with a 69 3/4 4x4 Chevy. I can add picture if needed.
Thanks Troy

Dumb question, but what exactly does "3+3" mean? Does that mean it's a crew cab?

*trkklr77* · 12-29-2006, 10:25 AM

yes

Troy-Built · 12-29-2006, 10:26 AM

Yeah, it's a crew cab. If guys are just wanting certain parts let me know.

**ScottH** · 12-29-2006, 11:04 AM

Would be interested in the tach cluster and rear bumper if in good condition.

Thanks

BIGCHEVYMAN · 12-29-2006, 03:52 PM

Troy-Built · 12-30-2006, 12:22 AM

I can do it. I just have way too many irons in the fire to do it right now. I will do what I can to post them before Monday.

bad_turbo · 12-30-2006, 02:21 AM

must have a pretty big trailer if you got that monster on it! Too bad your not closer to california, I would trade you for my '67 burb

soleeagle · 12-30-2006, 09:29 PM

How much for the 4 speed and the np205?

Troy-Built · 12-30-2006, 11:27 PM

I have a 20 foot dovetail trailer and it filled it up. The tach set up is in good condition. I can hook up and see if it works. The rear bumper is junk. It's a shame because it's chrome. As far as the tranny and transfer case 300 obo

takes them.

Thanks Troy

would like to see pics of both!

Troy-Built · 12-30-2006, 11:47 PM

I am planning on posting pictures of all of my toys and projects shortly.

Troy-Built · 01-01-2007, 05:41 PM

Here are some pictures of both.

Russell · 01-02-2007, 02:36 AM

Couple of things I'm interested in from that truck, and would love better pics of:

1) Dash bezel
2) Brushed Aluminum strip on the dash pad
3) Pull strap covers on both front doors
4) Speedo cable

I'd love the steering column (standard tilts are pretty uncommon around here) and some of the trim from the body, but shipping bigger / longer stuff like that up here would be simply killer...

Troy-Built · 01-02-2007, 10:32 AM

Here are some more pictures. As far as the interior goes it probably won't be worth messing with. The driver side front window has been broken for some time. Oddly enough, the interior isn't bad for it being open.

**ScottH** · 01-02-2007, 11:18 AM

Let me know what you want for the tach cluster, and if dash pad is in good condition that as well.

Thanks.

Russell · 01-02-2007, 12:18 PM

I see at least one pull-strap cover there that I'd love to have, and that dash bezel still looks pretty good to me as well! Much better than the bare, exposed guage pod I have now...

I see that your dash pad strip is lying on the floor similar to mine (gotta hate those stupid plastic studs & speed nuts...), and I just ordered a brand new speedo cable.

If you are up for selling me those two peices, just get me a shipped price to Alberta Canada, postal code T8E 2C8 and shoot me a PM

BTW, if it isn't too much trouble, one more pic of the whole dash bezel would be nice, thanks!

Troy-Built · 01-02-2007, 12:29 PM

Here are the last of the pictures. Thanks to me being in BFE, my internet connection sucks

It took me the better part of 2 days to upload these pictures and the ones on the 67-72 message board.

manimal · 01-02-2007, 02:09 PM

How much would you want for the whole truck? And ho wfar is Richmond, INDIANA from you?

Troy-Built · 01-03-2007, 08:43 AM

You are straight East of me on the other side of the state. I live just South of Interstate 74 4 miles from the Illinois line. I want to get 1500 out of the whole truck. If not sold by the middle of the month I will start parting out. I would like to keep the motor if I part it out since it should be 4 bolt with a steel crank. I bought this off of the original owner and has I believe 106,000 on it. Other people on the board are interested in parts and I am definitely going to keep them in mind. I just don't have much free time. I work on the railroad full time and turn wrenches full time also.

toomanytoyz · 01-03-2007, 10:11 PM

If u do Part it out & end up with just Frame left i would be interested in that.

Thanks, Rick

Will you include the flywheel, clutch, pedal and linkage for this price? My step brother is interested in this and I need the pedal and linkage for my own project.

Troy-Built · 01-04-2007, 04:11 AM

Right now Maniamal is interested in the whole truck. If it don't work out I will ell you everything that has to do with the tranny for that price.

soleeagle · 01-04-2007, 01:34 PM

Sounds good
