Rescue or not???
4 Attachment(s)
I have the chance to save this truck from the crusher but I definitely don't need another project! What do you guys think??
The low down: 350 w/unknown auto trans, newer exhaust, no starter, wiring nightmare. Body looks fairly straight, dents have been pulled and skimmed but needs a lot of sanding etc. Some minor missing parts. Minor rust on part of the rockers. floors are solid. Cab corners are good. Is it worth saving for $1200??im NOT asking wiw, just worth Saving! I'm normally on the 60-66 page so don't know too much about the 67-72. All thoughts are welcome! |
Re: Rescue or not???
Get it running. In my area that is a easy $4000 dollar truck.
Or sell it as a roller with spare parts you don't want for $2500 |
Re: Rescue or not???
Honestly, if you're up for it, you could easily make your money back parting it out to guys on the board here. The tailgate alone would make a lot of guys here drool...
I'm all for restoring it, but that's just the worst case scenario! |
Re: Rescue or not???
Is there any wiggle in the price. I'd offer $500.00, but sometimes that screws things up. You make an offer and get the seller mad, then never have another shot at buying it...

Re: Rescue or not???
This '67 small window should be saved....no crusher.

Re: Rescue or not???
I vote for saving it.
Like others have said, you could easily get your money back plus more just from parting it out or spending some time to get it running. A truck like that is around $4k+ in my area. |
Re: Rescue or not???
Wheres it at? I'll buy it
|
Re: Rescue or not???
In ten years that'll be a "gem" around here!
Assuming it's not full of bondo, the body looks good, I'd definitely save it! |
Re: Rescue or not???
I say save

Re: Rescue or not???
Solid AZ truck, Save it.

Re: Rescue or not???
Save it .

Re: Rescue or not???
Body looks good. '67 small rear window cabs are cool.
Not so sure about a Monojet on a V8, but you can upgrade the intake and carb, if the block is good. |

why dose ever one put the alt on the wrong side.If you use Ram horn exhaust Manifolds Us the first year HEI plug wires from a Corvette 1973-74 was the last year Corvette used Ram horn's But used HEI first year Plug wires 1-3 an 2-4 go throw the fron motor mounts Cleans up the motor plus you don't burn up your wires
Now this brackets are for the 1960--68 trucks If some of you are using 194 or 202 corvette heads with no holes in the head this bracket works for them heads.with the Small 283-327 water pump this bracket works with them.they work with even the heads that have holes But you need the Ram Horn's driver side with the 2 bolts Most important |
Re: Rescue or not???
Save it or ship it to me, I’ll send you the money thru PayPal

Now for the Plug wires where to run them Use some WD40 spay into the boot litely pull on the boot slightly twist the boot while pulling on it and it will come free To re install the boots add a little WD40 to the boot and push it back on making sure the plug wire is face the engine so your spark plug will go in .
So here are you pics |

Re: Rescue or not???
I've been told and use it on my 1972 3/4 ton If you use the extreme use 1975 454 Fan clutch it will fit most 7 Blade fans that take the clutch Fan.I buy them from Auto zone life time..Still working on a pic for that one but will have it up soon
But you can use it on any year 1955-72 with a 16-18 inch fan blade I like the 6-7 blades more cooling |
Re: Rescue or not???
Thanks for the encouragement!!! I put a bid in and feel I have a chance! Paid 1500 for my 60 4x4 and knee deep in patch panels etc. but heard about this and don't want it crushed:metal: where there's a will, there's a way!! Right?!

Re: Rescue or not???

Re: Rescue or not???
Glad to hear you're going to try to save it, solid truck like that would be a no brainer here in Iowa!

Re: Rescue or not???
Back in 2006--2009 before the house bubble burst.I saw car and chevy trucks enter the scrap yard and bye by for 600-800.00 when metal was going for 500.00 a ton.I called every one to come sit out front colton Scrap yard.Saw a 21 VW buss that ran sell for 498.00 saw a 1969 SS Nova with the 396 and 4 speed trans in the trunk hanging out.There was a lot of free money with all the refinance going on from 2006-2009

seriously doubt it's worth $1200 scrapped, so offer a bill or two over actual scrap value and everyone wins.. once you get it home, evaluate its worthiness for restoration to driver level or better and go from there.. if it boils down to a parts truck, take inventory and help others complete their projects.. members here are gushing with advice and help, doubt you'll do any worse than break even with fees, most likely better.. and end of the day, save a truck/parts that they're not making any more of ;) good luck with your decision! |
