Good points, although building this ratty of a beast I'm not sure I'd be too worried about how many years are on it. first thing I'd do would probably be late gen drivetrain anyways, but very cool patina nonetheless

Id be careful about sitting in the seat, you might end up going through the floorboards. Funny enough...even with the rust and patina you can still see factory chalk marks on the firewall.

Dreamy patina?? Nah, I gotta disagree. As far as aged paint goes, it's tough to beat the appeal of a naturally weathered unmolested survivor, but this one is just a mess.
It seems a lot of guys now think if it shows abuse or neglect, it's got patina. Wrong. I say if mother nature didn't do it gently, it doesn't qualify.

Another truck with a lot of patina holes.

My mouth dropped to the floor when I saw the price tag! WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING! MAN! If that thing sells for $1500 then I am gonna sell mine for $4000! LOL! Nice patina though! But I would be scared to work on it, who knows what the heck is sitting in there waiting to charge and bite! As far as I can remember that thing has been on Ebay since...well....uh....well....uh......let me think...uh........ARRG!!!!....u AYE... it has been on since early this year....

I've been shocked at some of the prices people are asking for some trucks lately. even more shocked to see the prices some people are getting.

[1963c-10]

Seems like the nice ones are free or next too it and the rough ones people want 3-5 grand for....

[Snailed]

That's just a rusted out truck. This place will give the guy about $300 for it http://www.expressscrapmetals.com/pricelist.html

I talked to a guy bout buying his truck awhile ago. It was a 64-66 and the front clip was rotted and full of rust and had major dents. The front windshield was cracked and had holes, but the bed was perfect which was why I wanted it. No motor, no tranny. And the guy wanted $2,000 for it!!!! He wouldn't go down either. He kept telling me "IT'S a CLASSIC!!!" as if I didn't know a crap about these things! lol! Some people think their rust is worth its weight in gold! AYE! Then I found my parts truck for the price of me towing it outta my friend's place!

[LT1 Burb]

I wouldn't give 500 for that thing, what a mess.

[Dustin07]

yeah that describes a truck local to me that is currently for sale for $4k. sometimes I wantt to flag those CL posts lol.

That's nightmare patina, not dreamy.

Up here in Oregon, I could run over my truck with 60 grit, and two months in the NW rain and my truck woukd have this same look. - Rust

[bonehead]
