Bringing this thread back from the dead. Patience paid off. Truck is mine. Seller wouldn't sell before, but I ended up with it this week. Best part, it was free!

Going to start the process of retrieving it tomorrow...

We hate you (no offense).

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

I love it when there is no real info given on threads like this.

1000 no 10000 no free ... and that’s it lol

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Here is the longer story. Owner of truck died. I offered owners daughter $1000 for it, and she agreed. Then owners brother showed up and said $10,000, even though it wasn't his to sell.

Owners brother has since passed. I am helping daughter sell some other of her fathers stuff, so she gave me the truck.

Sad ending for the family. I’m happy you got it though. Persistence can pay off in the end, congrats!

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Awesome witness on your part!!! Helping someone in need, at the worst possible time(s) in their life!!!

Hope to see more of it here , even if you don't do much to it...

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Maybe quoting you a price at all is downright lethal. Did you ever think of that? :lol:

"Free" is in most people's price range.

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

You got lucky that the brother put the price so high, even if you did have to wait two years! What a story. Congrats, that is a really nice truck.

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

OK. Just a little weird. Nice truck for you though. Good job.

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Did you get the truck

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

As it says in the I - Ching : "Persaverence Furthers" :lol: .

That's a nice rig and if not rusty you can make nice one out of it .

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Sad for the family with happy ending for you.
Congratulations.

Truck has been retrieved and successfully delivered to this guy for reconditioning. There should be some videos of it being worked on before too long. We are excited!

The Next Step
 

O.K., progress .

Who is this guy ? how old is he ?.

Did you get a firm price quote ? .

Are you rich ? .

I hope this works out well, I trust very few to do things properly .

Re: The Next Step
 

Guy who restores cars. Specializes in C3 Corvettes. Has a lot of videos on YouTube. He is pretty young.

Going to get a price as he digs into it a bit. We are "time and materials" at this point.

I am no richer than you are, most certainly poorer!

He comes very highly regarded. I have seen a lot of his work.

Restoration Shops
 

O.K., I liked the cars he chose to work on, don't have the time to watch videos .

I've seen so many get badly burned by 'time and materials' .

When I ran a shop I was honest, 100% if it was too $pendy that was fine, I never cheated / gouged anyone and still have happy Customers 40 years later .

These are fine rigs, very nice to drive and very work capable too .

Looks like Whataburger is your sponsor -- the paint scheme matches.

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Looks to me like you scored ! :gmc2: .

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Miss me some Whataburger. Took a road trip to el Paso a month ago and finally had one after two years. It was a let down. Not impressed. Gonna have to find another one. Awesome truck. I'm a sucker for orange

Re: Should I buy this truck for $1000?
 

Love them Orange trucks too.
At least in SoCal you've got Tommy Burgers. I went to LACC, and lived 5 blocks from Tommys #1 at Beverly and Ramparts. I jones for Tommys all the time.
Coupla years ago, I was visiting a college buddy in Camarillo [the Valley beyond the Valley] and we stopped at the local Tommys for a chiliburger. The girl behind the drive-up window, said "We're out of chili..." We drove away. I mean what's a Tommyburger w/o chili? [An In'N'Out]. We have both In'N'Out and Whataburger here in Tucson, but I'm never satisfied.
