Re: 57 GMC, frame swap, 4wd, 454 big block, 4 speed

wow I really like that color for the dash, I did my 49 entire interior (seat, carpet) in that color and it was IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean. needed floor mats for the floor mats.

craigslist sure has the scourge sometimes. a guy was texting me on the 41, he had a mid 50s ford as a partial trade, and its just my opinion but I think those might be the ugliest ford trucks made, but he was looking to get top trade dollar for it (with a bad motor, primer etc) and told ME that without even seeing mine he expected there to be some wiggle room on the cash difference he would pay. :/ I told him I couldnt go any further, I didnt really want his truck to begin with and the fact his price was non negotiable but mine was negotiable told me everything I needed to know. reminded me of the guy from MO on the 65, his one note trumpet was "I KNOW WHAT THESE TRUCKS ARE WORTH!". I sold it for almost 4k more than his best offer, and sold the wheels separately for another 4k.
