4.Plate the welds and drive the crap outta it.
5.Soon a long bed will be the rarest truck around.

Now we're talkin'! I'll take $15,000 for mine right now.

Thank you fellas for all the input.
I did not pursue legal action,
just took the advice on board and chalked it up.
I have found out that the PO knew all along the details
about truck and lied his ass off to sell it.
I still have the truck and more than likely will sell it..
It turns a lot of heads and gets a lot of thumbs up..
Can't put a price on attention so I will take it as a return on investment.. :-)

That does suck man. Like I said before, its not original in more ways than not being a true SWB. You should get over that fact and drive it. Its a gorgeous truck. If you find a true original "no mods at all, this means rally wheels, exhaust, bed liners, etc etc" you will expect to pay a fortune. If you just gotta sell it, put it on Auto Trader Classics and you will get well more than you paid.

I don't know what other things you are disappointed in on the truck,but not knowing all that much I will say you could have done worse. I despise someone who outright lies to sell anything,and I've been there. To know your stuff and what questions to ask and have the answers to be lies you base your decision on is a crime worthy of a lynching. I say it could be worse because it appears to be a nice truck and that you should be able to get your money back out of...unless there's more to it. Worse is poor paint prep,paint,or body work that rears it's ugly head in short time or things like a bad rear doctored up with sawdust,engine the starts smoking or knocking once the band aid comes loose,etc,and you're lucky to get half what you paid. It looks like you got a truck many would want to buy,but you were lied to and didn't get exactly what you thought you were. You certainly have a beef and the right to feel how you do about it. Believe me,I've been there,too. It sucks!

Then why would you sell it? Was your original intention to flip the truck? If not, just keep it and be happy.

big_al_71 · 04-13-2013, 09:53 AM

Words to live by "DONT TRUST ANYONE".

You have a decent loooking truck if you are not happy with it sell it more than likely you will make a profit then go out and buy the one that you really wished for. Make sure this time you do pay attention to details so nobody would take advantage of you..

Take it as a lesson learned we all have made mistakes by relying on others or believing thei BS.

...walks out to truck, kneels down to look, no welds, whew!

Did you take it to cherry auction today? I thought I saw one very similar rolling in as we were leaving.

Yes I did... first time there and got there late..
Got a lot of attention. Got stupid offers.
I do have one serious buyer but he's offering $10k.
I think I should have taken it to Pomona..

I remember when I was looking for a truck I had a list of things I would and would not accept , and a factory shortbed was one of the things I was not gonna give an inch on ! LOL

Spartan · 04-14-2013, 11:12 PM

Bad juju for the seller. I'm not reccomending any sort of retribution outside of the law but it's people that lie and cheat that makes a person want to fill a visine bottle with super glue and wrap it in free sample packaging and stuff it in their mailbox. Probably more appropriate to turn the other cheek tho...

Regardless of what you paid for it, 10K is a very good offer for a truck that has had both the frame and bed shortened. Was the guy who made that offer aware that this truck was cut down from a long bed?

Not getting what you thought you were can sting I admit. If a person builds a truck like that it will cost well over the price you paid.

We built a '67 swb stepper late last year. It started out a C-20 lwb stepper, but we did use a swb frame and bed from another truck. It is not as nice as the one you bought and it would have have cost at least what you paid, except we did all the work including the painting.

SCHRUMGMC · 04-15-2013, 10:19 PM

Can they not get in trouble ?

The priceless moments absolutely are the best shoot I get any range of personality and age complimenting mine whenever I stop for a sip of gas in the truck even had one this morning and older gentleman remarking that he was always a big fan of old bowties. Makes you feel really good for what you own and drive. It's a lot of pride to own a classic and its worth every bit of heartache. mine wont ever be a true cheyenne super but it'll be my own twist on what I perceive as the ultimate truck for myself and I've grown to accept that. I hope you can find the true heart in your own frankenstein because she is honestly a beauty whether it's legit or not

**special-K** · 04-16-2013, 07:01 AM

Like I said before,if your truck is as nice as it looks it is well worth what you paid. If it was a factory short bed it would be worth more.

19673ontree · 07-03-2013, 08:11 PM

I read this whole post , first let me say NICE TRUCK ! I hate to see stuff like this happen but I am a old HORSE TRADER that's what mot people now know as a PICKER but anyway I DO NOT think sellers should misrepresent anything like that and Im sorry but in the world of buying and selling between individuals (DOES NOT APPLY TO NEW ITEMS FROM A STORE) we have an unwritten rule or two ,,,
#1 when you sell something you no longer own it .
#2 when you buy something it is yours .
LOL I know but really in the real world that's the way it is ,,,,,
Id plate it and drive it !
