"fresh off the farm" short beds - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Grumpy old man** · 06-03-2015, 04:18 PM

I listed a "67 on ebay and a ton of extra sheet metal with it on E-bay and I'm really kind of surprised as to the amount of views it's had and how many watchers are following it .

There have been 1,485 views and there are currently 72 people watching the auction in just 5 days ! I just think it's cool how much interest these old trucks (all 67-72's ) Are bringing when not long ago they were being sent for scrap . Now if mine will sell is another question ....

For anyone watching the reserve is $2,500.00 lets see if they sell !

**Grumpy old man** · 06-03-2015, 09:35 PM

WOW ! it's up to 1592 views and 80 watchers and the bid has climbed to $1,935.00 let's see when it makes it to the reserve. any guesses if it will make it or how much it will sell for ? ?

That is not a bad deal for someone, the body looks to be straight and mostly rust free. I've definately seen worse!

**Grumpy old man** · 06-04-2015, 01:19 PM

I dropped the reserve ! Someone is going to own this truck and a ton of extra sheet metal parts , The bid is up to $2025.00 and it has 1787 views and 87 watchers.

Any guesses on what it will sell for ??

I think $2000 is a typical market price for that truck with extras without seeing how the body really is. Figure between $2-2500 on it in the end but you've got 4 days still.

That is a lot of potential for a little money. Someone is going to get a sweet deal!

Todays count

current bid --- $2,225.00

just $25.00 short of the reserve ,I'm going to have to post more pictures today to the ebay ad the blue truck should bring that much or more alone with out the extra bed and cab the doors are solid on the bottoms and I drove it around the farm this morning .Starts right up . Maybe I'll include a few roosters I've got too many of those right now !

**Grumpy old man** · 06-08-2015, 03:44 AM

It's almost over !

today's count views --- 2645

watchers --- 107

The bid is still $25.00 below the reserve price

**special-K** · 06-08-2015, 06:55 AM

Probably could have left the reserve at $2,500. I'm sure it will hit your lowered reserve next bid. The real action is n the last five minutes. If it didn't reach reserve you can always go down the list and offer it for the lower price. I've never seen any of these go to scrap unless there's nothing left. They have always had a decent value from what I've seen

**Grumpy old man** · 06-08-2015, 07:36 AM

I'm pretty sure it will get to $2,500. I'm already in the middle of a few expensive projects and I'll want to shoot myself for letting it go but I just really needed the frame from one of them and couldn't bring myself to breaking up a running truck so that's why I'm letting go of a ton of sheet metal off the frame donor and someone will get a good deal with a bunch of decent sheet metal to go with it , I already have my fair share of beds and cabs /doors/fenders and I really don't need another project ....OR do I ???

**Grumpy old man** · 06-08-2015, 06:41 PM

Down to the last 30 minutes anyone want to guess what it will end up at ???

$25.00 short of the reserve

**Grumpy old man** · 06-08-2015, 07:04 PM

WOW ! $25.00 short of the reserve and it's a NO SALE !

Looks like I have another project Because I'm starting to like driving it around the farm !Who knows Maybe I'll just relist it with no reserve ?

dubds10 · 06-08-2015, 10:15 PM

No reserve & end up around the same price or just contact one of the bidders & see if they want it.

**Grumpy old man** · 06-09-2015, 07:34 AM

Well ... After sleeping on it I've decided to build the blue truck since I already have all the parts and some decent paint colors and a good matching vinyl seat material that I can rebuild the seat and cover other panels with I'm thinking this paint and an off white roof and grille inserts and wheels ,Just a nice clean look and leave the 6 and 3 speed for the next owner to run or change later .

The other 67 I'm listing as a complete part out this morning in the classifieds
