whats a choped 67,68 in primer worth??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71Seth · 02-09-2003, 08:42 PM

I found one close to home. I dont recal if it is a 67 or 68. Top is chopped 5 or 6 inches, still in the ruff. The body is very soild and streight and in primer. Running sb350 and th350. New tires. There is no interior in the truck at all, well its got the steering coloum and wheel but no shifter. And no glass. Guy said he dove it home when he bought it a year or so ago. Apx. what would it cost to get windows cut for it. What is a truck like this worth??? Please let me know what yall think.

my personal opinion is these trucks look like crap chopped i'd buy it for parts only maybe3-500 tops gettin the glass for the windsheild will probably be a big problem !!!! why do you think 2 people already gave up on it?????

I don't think it'd be worth very much. I possibly can take it off your hands very easily I'm just right up the road from you. So, bring it to me. K. Good truck. Buy it and bring it to me.

Brandon, where are you located just for $hits and gigials?
I would like to have the truck for the front clip and fleetside bed to go on my 71. GLASS, GLASS, GLASS. my local glass man who does all our glass work at shop found the answer to my glass problem to be very very funny!!! Doesnt look good for the chopped cab.

Um, I'm located in Northern KY, close to Indiana, and Ohio. But my mom lives in Richmond, KY. That's not too far, but still a nice trip. So are you gonna buy it? If you don't want the cab, you can always give it to me. K?

Be very carefull buying 1 without glass! you want to look it over close to be sure the windsheild opening is square,& will accept glass! The rest of the glass is very easy to cut, & just about any shop can set you up. There are a few shops that will cut the windsheild, but talk in the &450-500 range to do it. I cut my glass, but had worked in glass for about 10yrs.....so i wont pull your leg & tell you that it was easy. It takes a feel for glass, & a lot of patience.

thanks crazyL thats a great tip on the windshield opening. Just found a 67 swb bed that needs a floor put in it, and has small ding and scraches on the side where it was thown on a trailer for $75. HELL YAH Even get a extra lwb bed with near perfect end bed panel, metal floor and two wheel wells!! I'm keeping this for sure Brabra!!!! LOL MINE,MINE,MINE

Anyone else got a idea on what the truck maybe worth??

I looked at a finished 68 GMC that had been chopped about 2 1/2 inches. It had the body finished and painted and had a really nice sounding 400 sb. He wanted 6000. It needed upholstery work. short step.

It was painted black, and the chop was flawless. He went through--drumroll please-- 8 windshields to get one cut down that didn't crack. He recommended starting with new windshields, as all the old ones cracked.

I wouldn't offer much of anything for a raw project such as you are looking at (<$500). You will spend a fortune getting it done. You would be dollars ahead by buying one that is closer to done and then finetuning it to suit you.
