Ricearu Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think I stole the truck at $700 for a rust free (except one front fender) roller, and she came with a pretty blue texas title and a new windshield. Hasn't even had the stickers on it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Sweetness! I just got into a 68 GMC 3500 stake bed for $350. Ran and drove, i had to tape up a hose and pinch off a brake line to get her home. $50 later and i had new brake lines, hoses, thermostat, and belt. Re-packed the front (DRUM BRAKE) bearing s ans was good to go. I got about 7-800 in it already with the $300 trailer hitch, and new fluids, wipers, roll-on rustoleum paint. 292 I-6 with 4spd manual 2wd If i had a picture i would show it to you. Good luck with this one, looks like a loto of promise and a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricearu Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 thanks, This thing is SO getting the shiniest blackest rustoleum roll on ever conceived. My roommate is a body guy, and I will paint anything, and I mean anything and enjoy it. I am gonna thin the rustoleum and do like 8 coats, that is after fiberglass, bondo and a crap ton of sanding and welding. I have some trim holes to tack too... I got my work cut out. good deal on the stake bed! I Love that look, I can't decide wheather to do step side or fleetside with this one as i have both... HAHAHAHA!! Possibly step side because they are all gone, and this one is mounted and I hate cutting off 43 year old rusted on bolts:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricearu Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 before after some rearanging, move the big red burb to the back yard, and moved my project up to the plate... Lots of work to do still. and I cleaned out my shed, note all the crap scattered about. I sealed most of the cosmetic rust with grey primer, just because I was bored lol.
