1985 CHEVY 3/4 TON 4X4 CUSTOM PICK UP TRUCK!
I GOT THIS TRUCK ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO, FROM A FRIEND WHO HAD A BUICK DEALERSHIP, THEY BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO SERVICE THEIR DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT, JUMP NEW CARS WHEN THEY WOULDN'T START, PLOW THE SNOW IN THE RUNWAYS OF THEIR LOT, DRIVE FROM THE SERVICE CENTER TO THE BACK OF LOT, TO BRING SERVICE CARS IN FOR SERVICE, ETC. POINT BEING HERE, IS THAT THE TRUCK WAS NEVER TITLED UNTIL I GOT IT (OR NEVER LEFT THEIR PARKING LOT) IT ONLY HAD A CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN. THATS WHY THE MILAGE IS SO LOW AND ORIGINAL AND THE UPKEEP WAS MINIMAL AND WHEN IT WAS NEEDED IT WAS DONE BY PROFESSIONALS AT THE BUICK STORE.
WHICH BRINGS US TO ME GETTING THE TRUCK. THE REASON I GOT THE TRUCK WAS AS A GIFT TO GIVE TO MY FIANCEE"S DAUGHTER, THAT TRAINED AND RODE HORSES FOR HER OCCUPATION. SO WE TOOK THE TRUCK APART, DOWN TO THE FRAME AND STARTED OVER. THE BED WAS REMOVED AND WE HAND MADE ONE THAT WOULD FIT HER NEEDS PERFECTLY AND LOOKED REALLY NICE AND WOULD NEVER RUST.
WE INSTALLED WORKING EXHAUST STACKS MOUNTED UP THROUGH THE BED, RE-DID THE WHOLE INTERIOR, COMPLETLY; SEAT, DASH, SPEAKERS, REAR SLIDER, DOOR PANELS, CARPET.
WE ALSO INSTALLED A NEW RADIATOR, ALTENATOR, STARTER, WATER PUMP, BATTERY, OIL PAN, AND WHATEVER ELSE WE COULD THINK OF, BEING THAT WERE IN CHICAGO, AND THE DAUGHTER WAS IN OKLAHOMA, WE WANTED EVERYTHING AS BULLET PROOF AS COULD BE, KNOWING WE COULDN'T GET THERE TO HELP OR FIX SOME THING. THERE ARE PICTURES FROM SEVEN YEARS AGO (#11-21 ).
NOW WE COME TO THE SALE; THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING MOSTLY AND IS DRIVEN ABOUT 7 TO 12 MILES A DAY. THE DAUGHTER MET A BOY, AND DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRUCK ANYMORE, AND IS HAVING A BABY THANKS TO THAT BOY, AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAVE MONEY TO RAISE A BABY, OR THE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF A TRUCK. TO BE HONEST WITH ALL OF YOU, THE TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED, OIL CHANGES, TIRES, BELTS, HOSES, BUT I THINK THE WASHING AND WAXING AND VACUMNING, HASN'T BEEN KEPT UP, LIKE IT SHOULD BE, SO WE MUST SELL THE TRUCK (THE GIFT WE GAVE HER) SO WE CAN PUT THE MONEY TOWARDS THE NEXT GIFT SHE'S BRINGING INTO THE WORLD(HER BABY)
THE TRUCK RUNS DECENT AND STILL LOOKS REAL GOOD, HAS A LITTLE SURFACE RUST ON THE BACK OF THE CAB, A FEW SMALL DINGS AND DENTS, NOTHING MAJOR(LIKE SHOPPING CART STUFF) THE BED HAS BUILT IN TIE DOWS, SIDE MARKER LITES, FIBERGLASS PANELS, ONE OF THE PANELS HAS A CRACK IN IT
THE TRUCK HAS A 350 W/ A 4 BOLT MAIN, DUAL EXHAUST, ONE OF THE EXHAUST PIPES HAS A LITTLE LEAK IN IT, SHE WAS GONNA FIX IT, BUT SHE DIDN'T HAVE $75.00 TO SPEND ON IT, AND WASN'T ALLOWED TO TAKE IT OUT OF THE BABY FUND, SPEAKERS ARE GREAT, FRONT AND BACK, REARS ARE CUSTOM MOUNTED, SEE PIC. THE FACE PLATE IS MISSING FOR THE RADIO, THE SEAT HAS SOME MINOR CRACKS IN IT FROM THE HEAT OF OKLAHOMA
TIRES ARE IN REAL GOOD SHAPE AND LESS THEN A YEAR OLD, CHROME WHEELS HAVE A LITTLE SURFACE RUST ON THEM, ALL GLASS IS IN DECENT SHAPE, WHEN WE PUT THIS TRUCK TOGETHER WE HAD OUT OF POCKET OVER $8000.00 IF WAS STILL IN THE CONDITION IT WAS WHEN WE WERE DONE WITH IT, AND STILL ONLY HAD THE 1200 MILES IT HAD WHEN WE GOT IT WOULD BE WORTH EVERY PENNY OF THAT AND MORE, BUT I GUESS WHEN YOU GIVE FAMILY NICE THINGS, THEY THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT FOR THEM, TOO....BUT, ITS EASIER JUST TO SELL IT, THATS WHY WERE SELLING IT FOR WAY LESS THEN WHAT WE PUT IN IT. WE WOULD LIKE TO GET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE FOR THE BABY FUND, BUT WE'RE GONNA LIST IT AND HOPE FOR THE BEST, THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND PICK UP TRUCK, AGAIN THE TRUCK RUNS REAL GOOD, BUT AGAIN IT IS NOT NEW AND AS IS AS SHOWN, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, OR NEED MORE INFO JUST ASK
