I'll take $200 for it. It is in pretty good shape and is a BBW.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

I'll take it man. I'm off saturdays and sundays so I could come get it one day if you have a good idea on how to put it on a 16' lowboy:metal:

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)

Obviously, I couldn't get it shipped UPS. :LOL:

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

Well guys i have some good news. I found a painter today who wrote me an estimate to do all the paint and body work on mine and my dad's truck both for $3500.00. I am thrilled at that price for sure. I ordered the following panels for mine today (the second tailgate is dad's). So, now i have to install these panels & provide the paint and the body shop will do everything else. Damn this hobby is getting expensive, LOL.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

Too bad you didn't order two days ago.
They had a promo code: hothot
10% off.

You might call them and ask if they might be willing to extend the promo 1 week. :)

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

Nice list dude.....you got lots of fun ahead of you....

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

No actually i have had a change of plans. I am selling my complete truck (no motor or tranny). I am gonna help dad finish his since he is retired and his funds are short. I am asking $1500 for my 61 with all the side trim, NOS hubcaps with correct wheels. Anyone interested let me know. The frame has been blasted and painted with new front suspension parts. Can't beat that deal for 1500.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

Ur a pretty good son lol. Wish I could swing it but like I said the Warden wouldnt like me coming home with it. Dang good deal for someone.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

I'm interested in the side trim if you're interested in selling them separately. how much would you have to have?

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

What????? This one too!



Oh well I bet your dads will turn out awesome.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

LOL, I want to see dads done before mine. He is getting older and i want him to have many years to enjoy it. I will have time to get another one someday.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

$1500 for the complete side trim and i will throw in the truck. The fender and door pieces are NOS and have never been installed. Otherwise i really want to sell it complete

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

Wow. That must have been an interesting 20 hours and 56 minutes. What happened? After all you have gone through on this truck to just sell it after you get your trim piece and grill is a head scratcher.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

He's putting the cash into his dads build, so the ol fella will have some time to enjoy it.

Pretty admirable if you ask me

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

Looking at it that way....

Yes, pretty admirable.

I just think slowbuild and others of us were hoping so much after all his hurdles, he could see this one through.

Zack,
I don't know your circumstances, but I wonder if $1500 is enough cash to dump your project. Is $1500 what you need to finish your dad's, or could you just store yours away for 5 to 10 years?

Around 28 years ago I sold my 65 for $1200.
I should of just parked it in my dad's barn for 28 years.
That way I'd still have it.
I needed the money then. But then again; I really didn't.
I wish I still had my 65. :(

It's probably none of my business, and I should keep my opinion to myself.

I do say; it is admirable that you want to focus your energy on your dad's.

Re: My 61 Build (Grandfathers truck clone)
 

You'll get to watch me build it. I'll be picking it up Sunday, putting the 65 on the back burner. Then maybe I'll sell it back to him :metal:
