Hey do you think i got a good deal?

Hey all i traded my 55 chevy rat bucket basket case with no drive train for a restored 53 ford f100...did i get a good deal? i had the car up for sale for 5k or best offer i knew i wouldnt get close to that... i was getting offers of 2000 or less... i actualy only had about $500 into the car...

 

wtf? you gave the yellow car and got the red truck?

 

love the effies....yep, did good grasshopper.....

 

yea i had been doing some metal work on the yellow car for my friend... he had borrowed my 89 bronco that i paid $500 for... so he didnt pay me... so i told him how about we just swap titles since we have each other vehicles... he agreed... then i got into a bad wreck and herniated a couple discs in my back and i cant move around very well... so i put the car up for sale... i got a few crappy bites on it... and then some guy called and asked if i would consider a trade... so i said sure... come down with what u got take a look at the car if u like it and i like what you got then we are all good... so we both liked what we saw and viola i have a running driving beautiful truck for a bunch of scrap metal that was in the shape of a 55 chevy...

 

im a ford guy anyway... to bad the truck was desecrated with a 350 and th350 trani i wish i had the time or money to do the swap back to a ford driveline

 

its pretty hard to find somone who wants to get into a project anyhow i would have been sitting on that hunk of metal for a while...

 

The truck looks sweet. If you are happy then you got a good deal.

 

Id say if you couldnt fix that chevy because your hurt you did good . But i would never trade a 55 for an f 100 but thats me i dont really like them . The chevy looked sweet its a matter of what you like not anyone else

 

you made out... IMHO

 

well i have have always liked these trucks... and i never liked the 55's and i really could see me doing a very good job on something that i don't have my heart in... and i know i wouldn't have had my heart in that... i can have the heart into it if i'm getting paid... but not if its for me and i don't like it... i wish this truck had a ford drive train... thats the only thing i don't like... wish i could find somone who would swap me a ford drive train for my chevy!

 

You may be able to do that, But id just drive it . Enjoy it , drive the hell out of it then put a ford motor back in .

 

I love 55 and 56 chevies, but I think you should probably be arrested for theft. That's quite a deal you made there.

 

Nice trade, and if you like the truck "as is" even better.

 

i think i would like to lower it... fix some little odds and ends... and i would like to get some steelies and WW for it...

 

Does a bear shit in the woods???

 

depends does this bear live in the woods?

 

great deal

 

You made out like a robbers dog, well done sir.

 

built tough with chevy stuff!

 

I think you did just fine, new wheels and tyres and that will be one super sweet (as opposed to just sweet) ride!

 

that sounds like a good start...

quick & dirty

 

yea im thinking steelies moons and WW

 

very nice!now how do i get it that low?

 

Hell, that's the best part.

 

You made out like a bandit.

 

looks like a cool truck ,, but i dig trucks anyhow

 

I think almost any time you can trade a non runner for a runner, you are good. That truck will take you farther now than the car would.

 

man you got a great deal i am building my first truck 55 f100 and mine look alott like yours when i got it but very rough here is a picture where it is now

 

mine is very solid... no rot anywhere! i couldn't believe it..

 

Man, somebody wanted a '55 Chevy REAL bad!!!!
