I'd say it's worth more than 5 bills with the 350/power brakes

Youngbuck7072 · 10-08-2010, 07:25 PM

thats what i was thinkin. how hard is it to find parts for these trucks (trim, interior, bumpers, wheel wells and rockers?)

not hard finding them - finding them cheaply is the challenge; I've bought stuff on this site from other members, some on eBay, some from aftermarket sources

Youngbuck7072 · 10-08-2010, 07:35 PM

what about body panels? and what kind of tranny do you think is in that truck, with the three fifty and all?

most common body rust areas are front fenders behind wheels, floors and rockers - patches and whole panels are available (again, not very cheap - but I found a rust-free parts truck for $300);
pics don't give any clue about trans, it was likely a 3- or 4-speed originally;
I'd call the guy if you're close, check it out if you're serious, it probably won't sit thre long

Youngbuck7072 · 10-08-2010, 08:52 PM

yah, im pretty sure im gonna buy it. if i dont take a fancy to it, do you think i could turn it around and sell it for the same or even higher?

1/2Dozen · 10-08-2010, 10:23 PM

thats a great deal! get it running, paint on a logo that looks vintage on both doors. lower it and call it good!

i think it is already running. love the idea of just puttin the logos on it and lowering it. i will get logos that say (YOUNG BUCK GARAGE) with an elks head in the middle of it. i wonder how much it would cost to lower it(doing all of the work myself, of course)

Youngbuck7072 · 10-08-2010, 11:58 PM

you know what else would be sick?(IMHO) put grey primer on the lower part and upper part, so that iit covers the cab and like 3 or 4 inches below the bed rails, and just leave the middle all the colors that it already is

Youngbuck7072 · 10-09-2010, 12:01 AM

and maybe a roll pan in back and take off the passenger side mirror

apachedaddy · 10-09-2010, 02:43 AM

Looks good for 500 bucks to me. And yes if you don't like it i'm sure you could get more than the 500 if you just did a little cleaning on it. But be warned once you start driving it you won't want to sell it...

Youngbuck7072 · 10-09-2010, 02:49 AM

haha i dont doubt it. like 1/2dozen said, im thinkin bout lowering in, puttin in a rear roll pan, and takin off the passenger side mirrors, then puttin old patina style shop truck logos on it

rain_man · 10-09-2010, 09:54 AM

noooooooooooooooo dont do the door logo it is so over played
unless it is a "shop" truck then the door logo is worthless

I've been interested in the truck for awhile , looks like a good deal .. But not to rain on a parade .. but I think what was holding me back was no title ... and the fact I might be getting another truck .. Closer to me in distance , but still been very interested in this one .. Good Luck !!!
