Condition & Features: The front-end (suspension) is BRAND NEW. The brake job is very recent. The body is solid. Very minor rust repair was done around the back wheel-wells. The truck bed is SOLID! The truck is currently in Primer and nearly ready for paint All of the trim is in excellent shape (the lower trim was removed only because of my own cosmetic taste). The transmission is in excellent condition; three speed. Brand new crate 351 Windsor was installed professionally 3,000 miles ago, and is still under warrantly for a little less than three years (have all of the documentation). Has a brand new 600 Edelbrock Carb & Intake. Brand new magnaflow-type exhaust all the way to the bumper, with chrome tips. Aluminum wheels with BRAND NEW wide Cooper Tires. The interior should be re-done at some point No body panels have been replaced. Everything about the body is original. - This truck is in daily-driver condition, and is VERY dependable. - This truck will be done once the paint and interior are finished. The restoration is about 80-85%, with everything mechanical being ready to go. History: I bought this truck and have rebuilt it over the past two years. Shipping & Payment: Acceptable payment for this truck includes any of the common safe wholesale formats (Cashier's Check, Cash, etc.) This truck is pick-up only, unless an arrangement is made between the buyer and myself before-hand. ADDITIONAL NOTES: The only reason I'm trying to sell this truck is so I can purchase another project that's caught my eye. I have an opportunity to buy the car I've been looking for since I was 18, so I'm willing to lose a little on this to come up with the money. This truck is in VERY good shape and is very close to being done. It was purchased for $2500, and I have put $4000-5,000 into it, not counting labor. Feel free to ask any questions! On Jul-09-10 at 15:57:59 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: How solid is the bed? Answer: The bed on the truck is COMPLETELY solid. My father is currently using it as a daily driver, and he is the reason the camper has been placed on the back (not my style...lol), but that goes to say that even now the bed is being protected. On Jul-09-10 at 16:04:55 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: How many miles has your father put on the truck using it as a daily driver? Answer: Just a little over 3,000 miles on the new crate motor. He has made several 250+ mile trips (one-way) in it, so it's very dependable, but no, the miles aren't being ran up on it. He drives it every day, but normally for local (town, church, etc) trips. On Jul-09-10 at 20:25:31 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: Would purchasing the truck be an inconvenience to your father transportation-wise, or has he already made arrangements to drive something else? Answer: We have discussed the situation and made decisions together based on his best interest and my own steps towards acquiring the car I'm currently looking at. I've already arranged it so that he will make the transaction with the buyer (since he's there and I'm out-of-state) and I will be bringing a vehicle to him that will be a little more economical (a V-6 rather than the V-8). On Jul-10-10 at 09:19:15 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: Could you add some pictures from other angles, and of the bed? Answer: I just added several more pictures that were just taken today, so you're looking at the truck as it looks right now. On Jul-10-10 at 22:59:52 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: Is that a bedliner inside of the bed? Answer: No, there is no bedliner. My father and I both agreed not to put one in because they often trap moisture between the steel bed and the bedliner material, and we didn't want to take a chance on allowing the bed to rust at all. The reason the inside of the bed is black is because my father painted it (just something quick) so that it would be protected while he is using it. As I mentioned, the bed is solid, so we want it to stay that way. So, to sum it up, that is the steel bed that you're looking at in the photo. On Jul-12-10 at 04:15:51 PDT, seller added the following information: Question: Will the documentation on the crate motor be available when the truck is picked up? Answer: Yes, the paperwork on the crate motor will be sent with the new owner when the truck is picked up. All of the documentation will become the property of the new owner because it keeps the warranty valid.On Jul-14-10 at 08:03:34 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTICE: MY FATHER WILL BE DRIVING THE TRUCK UP TO WHERE I AM CURRENTLY LOCATED (MAINE) THIS WEEKEND, SO THIS IS THE LAST TIME IT WILL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE IN THE SOUTH.On Jul-14-10 at 10:47:40 PDT, seller added the following information: If the truck sells, I will make sure it stays down South for the buyer if that would make picking it up easier.On Jul-15-10 at 06:16:30 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTICE: Regardless of the way Ebay is set up, I will still take $3900 as the "Buy It Now" price if someone purchases the truck before the auction is up. The idea of taking such a loss was so I could move it fast and use the money on something else that I don't want to miss out on. Thank you for your interest.
