My brother-in-law is a car salesman. he called me this morning and told me to come down...I got to drive it and we talked about trading my pontoon boat in for it. I doubt that will happen but....
Anyway its a '50 , its got the 239 flatty, 3 speed. pretty much all original except the paint job. I would love to get it, but I can't see it happening. But at least now I know what it feels like! Its like driving a high speed tractor! I really enjoyed it! Even though the pics look great, it does need some attention. He said they are going to price it at $10,900 but its not worth that. not going into detail why right now,but it was fun!

 

Just one look at the smile on your face and you know you should get it!

I'd give up two boats for that truck!

 

Why the hell did someone trade that in! Damn it.

 

I would give up the boat in a heartbeat, but we owe a "boat"load of money on the boat. just depends on if my brother in law can make something to happen. and I doubt he can....
Yeah I don't smile like that often! I hate seeing pics of myself too, but a picture is worth a thousand words so....
Ultimately I think its best if I just stick with what I got. I was out in the garage afterwards and I really want to see the end result of my creation!
Doing it yourself is very rewarding to me. I just wish I could get out of the financial slump we are in, so I could get back to work on the truck.

 

Don't know, but he bought a brand spankin' new FORD truck!

 

The hood was caved in some on top, the bed had a steel floor welded in and the welding wasn't ground down so it was pretty ugly in there.
the rain gutters were showing rust pretty bad and the hinge areas for the doors were rusted/bondo fix...trying to hide underlying problem. something was wierd with the seat, leaning forward too much. i would have to say it needs new king pins or at least greased. not really trying to make it look bad, but I would want all this stuff repaired and I might as well do all that on mine.

 

Good on ya mate!

Great quote, requesting your permission to use at my discursion without attribution.

If this truck has the stock front axle etc. with those fat tires then there is message here for the Neanderthals about IFS.

Maybe so that they could sell it to someone like you?

 

I'm sure he got ripped off on a trade in though.

 

LOL! permission granted!

 

Jeff,that salesman driving it looks shifty.Watch out! LOL

 

He is a little shifty! Oh wait....thats me...
The pics are compliments of Nicolle...the sister of the car salesman...
and of course the dealership wants to rake us over the coals on the boat...He is top salesman many months of the year...whats that tell ya...

 

Do you mean to tell us that your wife,in collusion with her brother, are trying to take you? Like "Let me go run this past my Sales Mgr."? What is her cut?

And BTW,my wife will not be told of this travesty.

 

Looks like it's worth $10,900 to me

You would use it a LOT more than that pontoon boat. How many times have you used that boat in the last 6 months?

 

From the picture it looks like one hell of a nice truck!

Can't wait till mine looks close to that someday

 

Heck jeff you only live once. GO for it
