I just about sh** myself, the young guy I sold it to has it up for sale now. He said he was gona keep it green and dump a 350 in it and gun the 3 on the tree, but I'm glad to see he decided to keep the origonal drivetrain. He mentions burning oil.....he didn't listen to me, I told him how to take care of that............ Also real nice to see alot of "me" in the old girl still..... My glass door handle on the shifter, my glass nob on the glove box, my GM cleanex box holder, my dog dish hub caps, and the passenger side wiper arm on the drivers side Now...... where the F*** am I gona get 10grand? I sold it for $1500, no tires, no battery, and kept the beauty rings, but I see he put some on...... God Dam my old girl looks great! http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/1965-GMC-truck-_18125761 Looks exactly the same inside....I had to drive the truck home for the young guy, the 3 on the tree scared him to death!
Damned Tedy that's a good lookin old truck. The old coot that used to have it musta took real good care of it! But ain't it nice to see that last buyer also took care of it? You know you want it Fat Tedy. Write a check!
Yeah, it is real nice that his origonal plans changed. I just spoke with Nick, the seller. He said the more he got into it work wise he just couldn't take away the theme I started. And yeah, I do want it back.....then I'll put the old truck tires back on it, and my job box back in....Yup, I would!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima He is up island today, but tommorow I'll have the camera good and charged. Nick invited me over for one last drive in the old girl...... can't beive I'm saying this but..... I feel all warm and fuzzy inside I also will show him the old school no more smoke oil change tommorow. Truck is on Ebay also..... He did not touch a thing on the interiour he said. Only thing done was he intalled the NOS rubber floor mat that I gave him when he bout the truck. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965...1573313?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item19d53aa741 Guess that stearing wheel guys
Steering wheel: '58 Chevy? I would think buying my old vehicle back for $10k that I had just sold to the same guy for $1.5k would stick in my craw a bit....... I would not have gone with the really wide whites. Does look nice, though...
As if I would buy it back I do have to say, just based on the pics he did alot of work. I used the old girl as a truck, rain, frost, ice, snow, salted roads, mud, dump runs, over loading, etc.... I also don't prefer the wide whites, and the white top, BUT it is nice to see my old truck done up and not butchered
Seems like you meet the nicest people Tedy. Can't be your cuddly sense of humor and loveable attitude. Personally I like the truck just the way it is now, minus the oil problem. Heck it still has your butt wrinkles on the seat! A year from now yer gonna kick yourself for lettin it go.
When i sold it, it still had the origonal wood bed...... sure has come along way from when I had her, in her prime......
Wow Tedy, Looks good. Must give you a little bit of pride seeing it like that. I actually like the white top and the wide white walls. Glad to see it wasn't slammed to the ground with 22 inch wheels and primered black or something terrible. Hope you enjoy your one last ride. PS my gues on the steering wheel is 59 chivy.
Fat Tedy I looked in the mirror. We've changed a little too since our prime ! Personally new tires and a paint job ain't gonna help me!
I know green isn't really my color but DAM!!! I would own that thing in a heart beat... if Zoe would let me... I'd still rather have a wagon, but I guess that goes without saying.
