One more on the scoreboard, and MAN, is it UGLY! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

babyJay · 10-25-2010, 10:24 AM

This truck went without bids over the weekend, and I had considered bidding, and had emailed the seller some questions. I was going to do a last minute snipe bid

but fell asleep a couple hrs before the auction ended. Anyhow, this ugly chunk of steel is in my driveway now, delivered 1.5 hour drive south, for $1K.

To do list:
Loose the topper and running boards for sure. Not sure where I'll go from there with it yet.

That's kind of what I was thinking, since it has had major rebuilds done on the engine and trans. Who cares if the body is Junk. Now if I screw up the bob job on my other Crew SWB project, I'll have a second chance.

Few more pics...never seen those wheel covers before on a 30, they've got to be worth something...and the tailgate band is nearly perfect.
