Newer toy.

Bought these.. just waiting for the shipper to show up. The OD truck was the 1996 NY MV club grand winner or something. It is UBER COMPLETE. In bits, but all there.

Data plates! All headliner parts.

Spare carrier

Gas tank and all the proper bits.

Look at that firewall! SWEET! I want to paint that oil filter gray and put decals on it NOW!!!!!

Wood bed is complete.. needs some TLC, but its all there.

The other truck is really just parts. The dump bed is a military one... but not original Chevy. There was a data plate but I didn't look at it.

Good fenders and running boards. Good dash. Would have been sweet if it had the original bench seat.. but oh well... sheet metal is still good.

I *THINK* thats the original gas tank. If so that's a good thing. More good sheet metal and look at those running boards!

Not sure what to make of this. Looks civy.

Wow, that didn't take you very long! Congrats on another couple trucks.

No acorn nuts down the center of the valve cover (that I see any way) means it is a later 6 cylinder where they moved the valve cover bolts to the outer edge.

By the time I added up the cost of parts and shipping I would have easily spent more trying to get the first Chevy done.

Since I really only have one bed I'm seriously thinking about making one into a tractor config. It won't be 100% accurate but it will be different.

Wow is shipping turning into a fiasco.

With all the drilling for NG in PA there are few hotshots free to haul. I called two brokers and nothing.

I listed on U-Ship and the first price I set for the 237 mile trip was $600. No takers. Then $800... nothing. Up to $1000 and finally got a bid.

Still got a slamming deal on the trucks but shipping is going to add $1000-$1500 to the price.

Just booked the two trucks to be delivered. $1010 all told. For 235 miles that's $4.29 a mile.
