Thoughts on this truck....

[A1971Blazer]

I thought about buying it to cure my wife's constipation.....if I came dragging that truck home....she would sh*t......

[ck5566]

It might have 1 or 2 good parts but my .02 cents I would leave it right where it sits

[Grumpy old man]

Well you all are scaredy cats ! 😁 I just bought it , good frame ,radio delete ,flip seat ,AND A CLEAR TITLE with vin tags intact . Good old boy with a bunch of old trucks and cars ,it's titled as a 1968 chevy c-10 and he has the old front-end parts.

Anyone need GMC grille ?

For the guys who haven't done it before this is how you get a short bed frame for free . It will be a complete part out ,I have cabs and engines .

She's a beauty ain't she ?

[robs71]

good job Grumpy old man!!

[Grumpy old man]

When you start adding up the parts 6 intake exhaust ,column ,seat,tail lights,grille ,etc,etc, it's worth a LOT more .

I would have jumped all over that here in GA. Glad you did! A good shortbed roller frame is worth a good $600 down here, easy. But, knowing me, I'd get it up and running and sell it. Does it have any visor rust?

[ho70]

500 for a shortbox with title, good deal

[GR8-68]

So did you make the drive up yet Grumpy ?

[Grumpy old man]

No , I sent a deposit and he sent me a detailed bill of sale guarantee of clear title I'll go pick it up next Sat morning .it's all for sale as parts soon .

Sweet, wish I could ride along with ya.. I would love to check out his parts stashes

I would have snapped that up in a second just for the matching frame, intact vins, and title. Have everything to put it together.

[midniteblues]

If ya ask me that's not a bad deal for a real swb. Sure it looks rough but a good frame and title is really all ya need too start and of course a decent cab also.

Around here you might get the frame and a little more for 5 bills but not a complete truck. But it also depends on the seller.

Did the op decide too pass on it?

Grumpy bought it

[Grumpy old man]

Vin CE148B

V8 1/2 ton 68 Baltimore something tells me this old truck has stories to tell yet , I can't wait to dig thru it and see what's really going on .if the cab doesn't have major issues I have all the parts to put it back together as a Chevy with a coil spring rear frame using parts from a long bed frame I've been looking to sell . I also have a very nice Gmc short bed frame that needs a rear axle . Can anyone tell how many nubs are on those wheels ? You know sometimes buying these things sight unseen can be an adventure in its self .Like I needed one more project ,I just can't keep from buying somewhat intact $500.00 trucks ! And it's only 70 miles away .

I mean really it's priced at scrap value .

Well that's good man, I hope you make a lot of profit off it.

I am the same way Grumpy, I just missed another 72 for 300.00 I can make more than that in one part !! How many rust buckets have you seen on here as projects that turn into gems ? ALOT !! My 68 was worse than that one you just bought, I honestly do not even have much left of the original truck Left after I removed all the parts that were bad I am glad to see someone save this gem from the crusher

[Grumpy old man]

There's a local "crusher" they never sell parts and I've tried to save later models that people drove in and sold ,there aren't any $1,000.00 cars or trucks from any year around here the scrapper pays too much .

Some times you can lead a horse to water and Still he doesn't drink the water. Guess I wasn't that thirsty.

you just live in a different part of the country that doesn't have to worry about rust.
If I were still in Virginia where I'm from I'd have snatched that up and not thought twice. Great score GOM! There's a bunch of nice parts on that one. If the inner roof of the cab is still good than I'd say you really did good.

[Grumpy old man]

I'm really not interested in the sheet metal , All I wanted is the driveline and frame . if anything else is salvageable it's a bonus . And I'm pretty sure that smog pump means it has double pulleys on it .the engine is seized but that leaves the head ,the oil pan, intake and exhaust manifolds ,carb,air cleaner ,pulleys, radio delete ,seat,grille, rims,vent windows ,drive shaft ,trans,rear,brake drums ,etc,etc even the rusty flow thru tailgate will give up its actuator rods and the tail lights from the bed . The cab with vin and title will be on the parts board with the grille next week ...

Yep same here...so much too do and so little time.

Hey grump I bet you could get that motor Unstuck. I would at least try before tear down. I was told by the po the 307 in my k20 was stuck, it wasnt just tired.
I'm sure you know the drill.

He is right, that one has some unique stuff being a short bed.

[Grumpy old man]

I just made arrangements to pick up OL RUSTY and he told me another guy is picking up a 71 El Camino when I told him I've been looking for one he said he still had 2 more ....Looks like I may be making 2 trips if not more sounds like OL RUSTY has some friends up there !
