This is just another example that old farm trucks just don't fetch much money. However $500 is a bargain. It looks more like a $1000 to $1500 truck to me. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,596 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,596 | Great looking truck rgunnz!
I have never paid over 500 for and old bolt except for a 67 9500 GMC.
15 years ago, there were a couple that I bought at auctions for under 100. Then got what parts I needed and gave them away.
No titles of course.
And there are more stories.
Since you are in Kansas, you should try to join us at KC in September. you will meet some great people and have a good time.

-Make sure the engine turns.
-Fuel system
-Brake system
-Pour coolant in and see if any comes out due to cracks in the block
-wiring harness
-Change fluids
-......
The list is long, but if you make a detailed list and start crossing things off, it will be road worthy in very little time!
Nice find and a very good price. You probably paid just a few dollars over scrap value for that. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 | Thanks. I will definitely look into it. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 48 | RDomeck, Thanks for the reply and advice. The motor is free. The truck has not ran since 87 from what the seller told me. The only problem I have so far is with the brakes! The pedal is frozen in the up position. So don't know what is could be. Again thank you everyone. I will update. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,159 | Sounds like your M.C. piston corroded and stuck. You might be better off replacing it,than re-sleeving the old one. If the M.C. is that bad,I'd replace the hydrovac,as well. Don't forget to replace the rubber brake lines. They deteriorate from the inside,restricting flow/pressure. Steel lines rust from the inside,too. Wheel cylinders are available through N.A.P.A.,as well as other F.L.A.P.S. With the money you saved on the payment,you can buy a complete new brake system,and still be in the $1500.00 price range! Not bad!! | | |
