Sold the little grease burner Datsun yesterday fir 6 bills, had $100 in it. Bought a 76 Chevy 4x4 for $200 this morning and hauled it to scrap today with a little extra junk throwed in and got $535 for it and saved the 4 good tires. Kinda oddball, was a 1/2 ton with 16 inch wheels. I offered the truck to a few guys who have those, nobody wanted to save it. It was a 4 speed/205 T case with 4.11 gears and all new exhaust, not a bad looking old pickup. But hell, you can screw around taking something apart and then try to sell that old crap to some whiner with no money, or just flip it and make $300 in one day, ain't a hard choice to make for me, I'll have my money onto something else in a couple days and keep it turning.

Re: Good days
It had the 6 bolt 16 inch wheels?
I would have gladly taken them off your hands.

Re: Good days
Yeah, they might have still been optional then. Or they might have been from an older pickup. My dad had a new 70 model that came on 16 inch wheels.

Re: Good days
I've got 5 of 'em. 15 x 5.5 I think, might be 6. I'll let the wheels go cheep if you can figger out a way to get 'em home. I'll also throw in all 4 hubcaps, even the correct 4x4 front hubcaps with the hole in the middle. The tires are spoken for.

Re: Good days

Unless the wheels ur talking about are the rally type and not just the stocker steels.

Re: Good days
I had a great day too! Hauled in the IH and part of an aluminum Pete cab and got $660 after deductions for all the tires and the wood on the pickup bed.
