At the rate the US dollar is going.....I think it might be the other way around

That's the one thing I wish mine was.....A 5 Window

Yea I think that's actually about $5000 US!!!! Watch out the Canadian eskimos are gonna take over the WORLD!!!

I told him I want to come see it tomorrow, I let you guys know how it turns out. You got me all excited now, even my girlfriend thinks I better go buy it-it must be a good deal.

Thanks for the replies,
Sean

Well if your girlfriend agrees with us, not only should you buy it, you better hang on to her!

Either that or she really wants an old truck....

Well Canadian is the same as US now since the dollar took another dump. The differance used to make it more worthwhile.

That truck would look superb restored to original condition, especially since it looks all there already. It's one thing to buy a gutted and ready for modification truck and another to throw away a bunch of good parts. You can win an many or more trophies with a stocker anyhow. There are tons of parts for the old trucks.

Go here http://www.fillingstation.com/ parts for 1918-1987 Chevy trucks and 1916 to 1964 cars.

How many people on this board REALLY care about a trophy? (unless its a trophy wife )

I think most, just really like the trucks. If it were mine, I'd turn it into a half ton and stick a modern drivetrain in it.

I would say buy it, They are cool when lowered , I had a `52 pro street,
wish I would have kept it

I think it would be neat to modernize the drive train and suspension but keep it a tonner dually for hauling.

This is an GMC easter egg that was left on the lawn, he wants $4000.00 W/no motor no trans.
the price is just for the 2 corner windows ! has stock brakes , outside of the frame is painted but the inside is not. cab looks good ...
told him if he'd NOT have paint the fenders purple he'd have it sold by now. but thats just my opinion...

just to give you an idea what they’re going for here.
or if someone wants to buy it for their ChicK...

Is it legal to tar and feather somebody for doing a paintjob like that?

This is the United States so "to each, his own"
but that also means we can say "we hate the color" or some one else to say "why you driving that thing ,looking all rusty" ....

BradC

54' I think.

We have done 3 links are attached. One for FIL and Uncle
The last one is mine and hope to have it ready in a few months.
$2k is a great deal. The last one I paid $2k for but needed all floors and corners.
