Thread: Trying to value this '31 pick up

Tweet

Take the pics and zoom in on them......the p/u bed looks lumpier than a diaper at bedtime. The cab looks kinda funny at the bottom edges. Firewall is funky.

If you assess what you would be buying, it appears that maybe a title....and some parts to sink money into.....A brookville roadster pickup body new for $4500 is a better and cheaper deal......unless you are an acomplished body man with LOTS of free time and a penchant for punishment.

Like Bob said.....condition, condition, condition

Hmm the pictures are not very clear on this computer without zooming in so I'm not sure if I'll be able to see. I am no body man. I suppose if it is that bad you are right, but I'll just have to decide if I want to go take a look and see what it looks like in person. What do you see funky about the firewall?

Yea the radiator is mounted in an odd place and I'll keep that in mind with the '35 front end. I was just hoping to use what I have.

Then I think about everything not included here and of the three options - this for cheap, new body for more money or a more complete truck for more money and this looks more like a black hole. Things like window mechanisms, dash, door handles. This truck appears to have none of that. I have to think some more, but I'll probably email him to night and feel it out.

Thanks for the input guys!
