So this one day I see this nice looking 58 chevy pickup, I new from that day we would be together forever. I notice it parked in this gas station with a cranked out young fellow leaning on it being on crank, so I calmly walk up to him and talk about it. I just so happened to have 1500 bucks on me, I even found a plastic bag to put it just to the cranker would feel more at home, ya know. So I says, eh cranker, nice truck, blah blah blah, we talked and talked, he did crank, blah blah blah. So he says to follow him to his girlfriends house, well she's cheating on him with some other cranker, so he yells as loud as he can, mutha BEEP BEEP stupid bitc*h fu*k this fu*k that, ends up throwing a HUGE rock bigger than my head through her window. I just want the truck, I don't need cranker problems. So I follow him from there to his cranker buddy's house, while I am following him his p***enger door flys open, he yells at me to grab the briefcase that flew out, ok. So then he shows me what this truck is made of, thats what I made out of his 100 mph weaving in and out of semi trucks. So finally I get to his cranker pal's house and he takes some bags out of the bed and gives me the keys and I hand him the 1500 drug money. Just as I am about to leave in my new truck he says "ehhh hold on one minute" great now what?? He reaches down behind the back seat and grabs his so called "baby" a HUGE butcher axe, lays it on his back and tells me to have a good time with the truck. Holy geeeez. So here's what it looked like, BUT do not be fooled. Completely rotted bedsides, all four biasplys ready to pop, half the firewall cut out, for NO reason, doors that I have to bungee shut, and the motor, a 350 rocket completely cranker rigged, I don't even wanna get into it, but you understand. So far it's now completely apart, motor is almost back from my friends machine shop. Found some free non rusted bedsides, and been working on the 7inch chop, post some pics of the progress sooner than later. Peace. Took my bro for a ride first day, he gave it a good name, the deathtrap, because it's darn near killed me several times, those stories for another day. Here is the cranker facade.
That is one awesome story. Cool that you saved it from a life of impoundment or wrapped around an overp***. There is a crazy old hermit around here with a backyard full of old cars and barn I've never seen inside. He does not want to sell anything but I ought to stop in and see him again.
I think there is a FREE 58 truck cab close to you in the cl***ifieds right now.....go look for it, then cut and patch man! What is it with 58 Chevy's and drug addicts? My car had a guy livin in it, selling dope out of it. AND NO, I don't sniff the seats either. **x
I needs to get to know some of the local druggies if they have stuff like that. I think it looks great right now. Nik
My buddy's neigbor deid his cranked out brother was selling everything for pennies there was a 65 Rivi for 800 bucks a driver Id give it a 8 out of 10. I was 10 minutes too late. All because I loaded up a trailer first.
I think you win the award for useing the word crank the most in a story! Sweet truck! What the hell is a cranker anyway? ain't they those puppets on the Comedy Channel?
This must be a universal problem. I have a friend here who is burdened with a drug problem........instant ****hole, just add drugs. Or alcohol. When he is straight and dry he is a briliant panel beater and artist who volunteers to work for food and a bed . When he is on ANYTHING he looses all his talent and just bashes the **** out of your car and fills it with filler. Telling the difference can be hard...... He is currently on remand for seven ***ults.....guess I will have to wait a while for some more "cheap" panel beating. By the way, nice pickup. A 55 or 56 Chevy HalfTon is on my wish list. Once the F-1, 51 Vicki, 27 Roadster and 37 Roadster Ute are done
Also known as tweaker, meth head, speed freak and other illustrious names. A ****ing scourge is what they are.
Ok, what's a cranker? Anyway, cool truck. Hope you got a clean ***le and all that. If I were you I'd paint that ***** asap, or sooner! You don't need the cops, or worse, thinking your this cranker dude and h***ling you.
it's been almost a year since I've had it, I went through cranker hell getting this thing in my name and a nice new pink slip, I won't say I signed several people's names.......
