If only my wife would let me have two! Hey, whats the story with the rear fenders on the green one? It really doesn't look cut and it doesn't look factory either. I saw a 66 halfcab in the boneyard with the same fenders on it last week.

LoL your the second person to ask that, they dont look cut, they appear to be stock, actually im sure there not cut. just not sure why, im ashamed to admit i dont know all the history behind these vehicles, I just know I luv them. as for the wife thing im single and trying like **** to get all my toys before some unlucky lady marries me LOL. any other questions i can awnser I would be happy to try

You're parting the green one out??

What a shame, up here in Calgary the would be at least a 4500 dollar truck!

(if it is as clean as it looks, running or not)

As for the rear fenders, I saw a tech article once where the owner took an old set of front fenders, trimmed the wheel arches out of them and had them grafted into the rear quarters. It looked very clean, and quite similar to what you have there.

You're parting the green one out??What a shame

The same thought occured to me when I saw the picture. Why :blink: ?

im unable to sell her, or at least ive had no luck. so im just going to part her out for some parts i need and soem parts other people have expressed interest in buying.

sure wish NC was a lot closer to Canada!!

I'd think the green one would sell easily. How much are you asking?

Do you really want to go thru the time to take apart a perfectly good rig? You should sell the green one and get new parts for the primered rig you are building. Is it going to be a wheeler only?

 

[Bcrump5252]

I have a guy at work who is the ebay king who is going to do it for free, all the money I get is gettign dumped into the grey one. the grey one is about 90% done where as the previous owner of the green one rigged and covered up everything on the green one. honestly the body looks good but itneeds patch panels in all the usual places and new floors all new windows, all new electrical engine needs to be worked on due to it not being started in a year. the grey one is just a better bet, and will make a better wheeler.
