Should sell complete or part out?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alan's Classic · 08-14-2007, 12:20 AM

I just picked this truck up. It's a 1966 C10 LWB V8 manual. I was going to use some parts off of it. But I found a 1963 LWB in alot better condition. I was going to use the hood and door hinges and what ever else I need to complete my truck. The 66 was running a few months ago, but the guy I got it from says he thinks it has a fuel problem. The cab is in pretty good shape. It's alot better than mine (65).
Let me know if I should partout or sell as a whole

I say sell it like it is. It looks to be all there. I tried parting trucks before and it has never worked for me. That truck would make a good driver for some one.

jchav62 · 08-15-2007, 08:16 PM

Rust is in nowadays...Sell it complete. The parting out thing never worked for me neither...

Jdub · 08-16-2007, 02:16 AM

i will dare to be different. part it out. if you have 3 of those trucks, what would it hurt to try parting it out?

...ps, i need a grill. heh heh

Alan's Classic · 08-18-2007, 11:17 PM

Thanks for the input. I think I will try to sell for a while on this web site and locally. If I don't have any luck I will part out. Price as is $750. I do have a title.
Thanks

Clean it good. Sand and prime it. Sand and paint the grill and bumper white and you'll get much more money selling it whole.

Is the truck still available or has it been sold? I purchased this trucks twin October of last year and I am having some questions and problems with restoring it. This truck looks like a better help then any book or anyone can verbally help me with.

Yes it is still here. I haven't done any thing to it.

PA66C20 · 09-25-2007, 04:25 PM

I guess the next 2 questions are does it run and are you still willing to sell it?

It does not run. The man I bought it from said it was running this summer. I doubt that since the gas smells really old. I haven't done anything to it. I was going to purge the old gas and see if I can get it running. I've been concentrating on getting my shop built. i should get my CO from the county tomorrow. I will sell but I am firm on the price.

Thanks

I'm very much interested in taking the truck off of your hands. The asking price is fine for what the truck looks like in the pictures. I just need to know how long I have to come up with a trailer to come and pick it up. If you prefer to email me, shawn@craftygrannysconer.com or you can call me preferrably after 9PM 610-905-2791. I work for a pizzeria and after 9 is our slow cleanup time.

Thank you very much

I have a guy that is supposed to come this weekend to get it, but don't hold your breath. He might be full of it. Try to locate you a trailer just in case. I will try to let you know something.
Thanks

PA66C20 · 09-29-2007, 03:21 PM

I've located a trailer and someone that can join me on the trek. I hope to hear from you.

I just sent you an email, and it was returned. I used the hyper link in your message.

PA66C20 · 09-30-2007, 10:51 AM

I do apologize, that address must be having problems again. My other one is bratboyn3pos@enter.net. I've never had a problem with this one.
Thank you again

Alan's Classic · 10-29-2007, 08:53 AM
