Title: 74 chevy
Post by: 87454westernhauler on September 03, 2011, 12:23:12 pm
Found this on craigslist and have talked the lady down to $400 on it. seems like a fairly good deal, runs  and drives but needs brakes, and posibly new clutch but has a new clutch kit that come with it and the body seems to be pretty good other than cab suports. what do you guys think on it? it is about a 2-3 hour drive to get it but i think that it might be worth it exspecialy for an iowa truck. ;D

even then, it is probably worth more than $400 in scrap metal.

     From the pictures you are right, it is in good shape for an Iowa truck, I bet once you dig into it you will find more, though for $400.00 dollars you can't beat it.  If you plan to fix it up then it will be a great project, if you need a parts truck you can not beat the price. 
     I say if you are thinking about buying it buy it.

I was thinking about fixing it up to drive but it is going to cost me $150 in gas to go get it, but I still think that it is worth buying at that price and condition.

I can afford it right now, but I will need to probably haul it back cause of sticky brakes and have to wait for my dad to be around to use the dually and flatbed.  :-[
