might ask him what he thinks is a good deal, it might be more than you are thinking and you can drop it a little and make him very happy! At least it will be in the family and you can probably drive it from time to time!

With his skill set I'm more afraid this will become my project. I already Golf. With him once a week don't want to build him a truck. I want to sell the truck he has offered 2500 I think it's a fair number just don't know the value I bought it to 500. But I've seen all original in good condition go for5500

If this is his first project I would say no way.
Does he have a Garage? tools? welder? air compressor? 10,000 in the bank? previous experience with good results? lots of spare time? TV makes it look so easy.

sounds to me like you really don't want to sell it to him, but looking for some good way to tell him? My son in law is always asking about different projects, I tell him that I don't mind helping him some but, I have enough of my own major projects and he needs to be able to have a place, tools, and time etc to do it on his own. I'll help if he gets stuck, but not come over and do it for him or even be with him the whole time.

Guys thanks. He is starting to reading the bolt site. He is in the military he has time between tours but his pockets are shallow, as you know they pay are soldiers well!! So they live of a nurses salary of my daughter. And I don't want to commit to a build for him. Racing season will soon start my two race cars will keep me busy . I was trying to decide and this helps to decide firm my thoughts. Any body interested in a COE

Got any pic's of the C.O.E.? All I see on your "Photobucket" link,is your '49. Nice work. $5,500,is fair,if the brakes/tires are All New,and it Runs Good.2-tons need to be in really good shape to command that kind of price.Need tires?-$1,000. Brakes?-$1,000. Does it run good? Add $1,000. To each his own,too. Last year,I posted a '56 2-ton,with a locked engine for a guy 100 miles north of me. He was asking $700.00,and I thought that Maybe someone local would buy it. I,myself figured that it was worth Maybe $500.00,since it needed a lot of body work,as well. It went to Georgia,and is in the process of a full restore! Post it in the "Swap Meet,(With Pic's,and a Full description-Don't forget to post price),and see what happens.

Hi,Chuck! Google is eliminating "Picasa",and starting "Google Photos". I was suscribed to "Photobucket",but I have BETTER results with "Google". If your photos aren't "Saved" in a "File on your computer,Do This First. Once you have the file(s) copied,right-click the image(s) that you want up-loaded,and "Right-Click" "Desktop Shortcut". Sign-in to "Google",go to the "Apps" page,(the 9 little squares in the upper right hand corner,and left-click. Scroll down to "Google Photos",and "Right-Click".There should be an option to "Up Load Photos to "Google"-"Drag and Drop". Left-click the link,keep the button on the mouse depressed,as you "Drag' the image to be up-loaded to the "Google Screen". Once the images are up-loaded,go to "Google Photos",and check out your pic's. Right-Click on the ones that you want to "Link' to "Stovebolt.com". Highlight the "Address Bar","Left-Click",keep button on mouse depressed until complete address is highlighted. "Right-Click "Copy URL". Go to "Stovebolt.com,(or anywhere else you'd like to share your photo's. you may then "Edit' your previous post,or start a "New" one. Type-in your message,then "Right-Click". Left-Click "Paste",and the "Google URL" should appear on your "Stovebolt" post. It may take a few tries to get it at first,but,you'll get the hang of it.

I'm so glad I have no extra money, I'd have to move. I think I am over the limit for Cool trucks in California!
That aside I use photobucket its free and does a decent job of hosting, plus its nice to have pictures somewhere incase of a computer crashing!
