   Both rockers have holes I have new rockers for it I haven't put on yet Doors don't have any holes but on the inside seam the could use wire brushed and resealed. Typical chevy rust I think the passenger floor pan has a small hole but I never lifted the carpet I was gonna patch it when I did the rockers.

idk what im doing i think im putting the price of the crew cab real low. then people will try and sell rusted crews for twice as much as i see them. the one above the guy would budge off his price so i didnt look at it. so i found another but this one says "make offer"

     That just means they have no idea what it is worth either.

I'd go and kick the tires, pick it apart and offer $500 for it.  You'd be surprised how that would clean up after a good bath and a wax...

thats kind of what im thinking. got a hold them this evening should be looking at it tomorrow.

this is how i got the 99 dump truck for $600. i pulled the dipstick and smelt it. the truck hasnt ran in a good bit, i then said "i dont like the smell of the fluid. i would give you core value of it" he ask whats that i said $200 he wanted i think 1k. then i just let him lower the price by himself then i waled away and called him back a hour later.

think ill pull the same deal cause truthfully dont know what condition the motor or trans is in. but i dont need them but i wont let them know ill talk about rebuilding it and how much that will cost then give them some puppy dog eyes

well looked at the truck today. i was surprised at the rust, as you can see the passengers side cab corner is rusted and so is the drivers but thats about it. the bed has its rust as you can see but the passenger side is dented up the bumper is a little bent.

its been sitting at least since 2004, and its a open lot in baltimore with trees and a house around it. but its baltimore i wouldnt say the ghetto (i get scared when i go to the ghetto lol) but it was a step above it. the drivers side  windows were busted out. the seats are trashed the glove box is missing. of course no battery. the guy said he has the title but he couldnt make it out there thinking he was at the Baltimore 36 -Steelers 6 game. looks like a good cab besides the rockers the bed prob will be replaced, was hoping to make it a short bed anyway.

couldnt get under the truck because i was wearing shorts and got attacked by mosquitoes. with the first minute i got there i was covered by them must of been 20+ on my legs. so hopefully tomorrow i can talk to him and get a good deal on the truck.

it also has a 350tbi probably th400 trans

Well the guy he'll take 700. Last night I told the wife if I can't get it for under 7 I wouldn't buy it. So now I think 700 is fair but still want to get it lower lol

so i offered him 6 and he said. "yes, not a penny less" but now my heart is playing with me and i want to give him 7 lol. think hes out of work due to a recent surgery for cyst on his lower spine so i think hes hard up for cash. he said he parked it years ago because it was too big for the city and no parking for it.

Found some doors off a suburban guy wants 75 a pop but they are electric the only problem is one door got a little beat up.

So three questions never priced doors is that a fair price and is this door fixable? Or how had is it to convert a manual door to electric with a donor door?

You have quite the collection of crews to choose from. I like the '73 crew cab converted to  dually. At least it looks that way with the non fendered bed and dana 44 big hub steer axle with what looks to be maybe a spacer on the front hubs so the dually wheel doesn't hit the tie rod and perhaps caliper. It looks to have a ford lockout as well with the red dial.
                      As for your door question, the price does not sound bad but the dent is pretty bad, especially below those black lines that is a pretty good crease that looks like it would be a bear to get out. I think I would wait for some better doors you never know what might come up. I once found two GM NOS doors for $250.00. I thought it was a misprint and asked if that was for one and he said both so they are mine now. These are just my opinions. With enough love and elbow grease anything can be fixed. Usually.  :)

most are gone now lol. but the 90 was the one i was going to get but the "clean title" is still in the originals owners name the seller now his name is filled out on the back. so i talked to mva today about this little problem the lady said he would have to register it before he sold it cause technically hes not the owner and you cant sell something if you're not the owner

There is always bunch of hoops to jump through on that stuff if it is not exactly perfect per the state. When I bought my '78 GMC the owner scratched out the date on the back of the title because I told him not to date it. If you date it in Illinois you have to register it in a certain amount of time. I should have just registered it the following week. I put in the date I thought would work but the state did not like the scratched out one. I had to send a form to him stating that he put in the wrong date, write the correct date sign it and return. To shorten the story I had to do this several times before we got it right. What a pain, especially when you just want to drive your truck. Keep up the updates.
