Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

The Exhaust dumps out in front of the cowl no doubt an open megaphone header.

It looks like someone killed off an MG Midget in the process. Add says it is sitting on a Chevy chassis..

The car almost looks like it got started by someone with big plans to build his "classic 2 seat sports car" using the MG body and Chevy chassis and probably the fenders off what ever the hood came off and failed due to a severe lack of skill out of basic first semester ag shop welding. Then some rat rod dude got their hands on it. At least that is how it looks.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

Way too much deliberately crude and very suspect work on that panel It looks like it could have been made into a pretty nice truck before he got his hands on it.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

That's one for someone to restore back to it's Bell Telephone glory.

I haven't seen the truck in over 30 years but a guy in this area who had worked for Bell bought his old service truck when the company sold/traded it and restored it to show quality way back then.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

New Ebay listing. 1950 S-10 conversion. "Amazing rat rod...running and driving at one time...gets a ton of attention." Too far for me to pick up but pretty near youngrodder. Now that he has his Suburban finished, this looks like the perfect next project. The hard part is already done.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

That thing is rough as a cob. Based on its appearance I would NOT trust everything was done properly....but I could be wrong.

I'd like to have the door as garage art though.

PS: Depending on which year S10 was used it could be a 2.8 (bad) or a 4.3(good!) V6

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

Last time I edit this if someone notices, I can't tell what happened to that rust bucket, a lot of money to pay for a pair of 5 window quarter windows and little else that is usable. it looks like it was under water for a while.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

Those guys who are into the "work truck look" right now will be all over that one. I'd restore it right back to how it should have looked on the first day on the job with the phone company though. That would be a great one to show up at the American Truck
Historic Society events with. They had one here in 2013 with hundreds of restored trucks

That fire truck is one solid looking truck. It looks like a fun rig to have just to drive in local parades.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

Unfinished project, professionally built, all parts included except gauges and glass. From being an amateur hot rod builder, I am aware that this truck has far more money invested in just parts than his $9995.00 asking price. Note that the paint job alone is claimed to have cost $10,000!

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!

There is actually seems to be such a thing as a mr_patina_head Kustom paint job but a guy would have to be a real fool to pay someone 10 K to make his truck look like a junk yard reject.

Still on that one the pretty solid body and a long parts list add up real quick to well over 10K.
