Re: Original Truck Vinyl Top????????
There are lots of junkers out here like that one for under 500 bucks. With very little rust. The time and money you would have to invest to make that truck worth anything wouldn't be worth the hassle.
The buckets will need restoration... big bucks. The interior is shot... big bucks. rebuilding the big block... big bucks. A new front clip... big bucks. No title... PITA. I can't fathom paying over $2,000 dollars for a non-running hulk, that I have to drop thousands more in... just to get running.
I bought my 1972 GMC for $800 bucks. Running, with minor rust and some minor dings. Seller had the title in hand. Had to yard it out of a field. Drop a battery in it... air up the tires... and drove it home.
Again. I know a lot of people are VERY passionate about the trucks we fret over. But sometimes ya gotta step back and say... "Really?"
