auburnseeker Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Now this is how you photograph your car/ truck for sale. This line from the ad makes me laugh as well. "The car Did roll several years ago, not sure condition of all tires and brakes, etc, but with minimal or no work, it can be transported." https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/international/kb-2/1960168.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 23 minutes ago, auburnseeker said: but with minimal or no work, it can be transported." He is right. A roll back retriever, cable hooked to a twin J hook rig, up and on in minutes, no need to move the stockade fences either. Next... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Yeah what do you do with it when you get it to your shop and it won't move other than skid it around. Yeah wheel dollies. I mean for the average guy who doesn't have all the extra toys. My excavator would sang it around with no problem. But not everyone has an excavator handy.

But not everyone has an excavator handy. I know, but ;look at the other side of yourself. You knew what site work you could do, and what was better to farm out. If a person really wanted that panel, but had little funds to have the retriever haul it home, you'd find the closest one to it, then have the guy yank it up/out, then dump it off in open area, then he hauls it back up tail first, and can get it on your trailer tail for you to help winch it, if its all stuck/flats at home, just use your head...if you want it bad enough. It's now home, so rest and think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That is the first "certifiably honest" add I have seen in a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trulyvintage Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That is a $500 truck on a local craigslist. If you are going to the trouble & expense of putting an ad in Hemmings trying to get $4000 for it .... Drag it out of the brush & get complete images of what you are sellin.

1937hd45 Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I'm looking forward to Round Two when it gets sold and built into a Rat Rod, I can almost hear the crying now. Bob Edited June 4, 2017 by 1937hd45 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_padavano Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I like that: "rolled when parked" Seriously, it's a cool truck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 Well this is not nearly of the condition the Dodge in the other thread was in. I wouldn't have a problem with it being rodded. I just hate to see anything completely hacked into something that barely resembles what it originally was especially if it never gets finished and the misguided path takes a turn that can't reasonably be returned from. Like wise with modernizing every aspect of the car being done. In 10 years those modern hot rods look like a 10 year old used car in styling that no one likes the look of anymore. I can't tell you the number of people that are probably regretting neutering 1949-1951 Chevies with Modern rounded headlights. I have seen one at what seems like a real good price on the local craigslist forever. Kind of like the quad square headlights I see frenched in 40's cars done in the 1970's early 80's. There is atleast one of those on the local craigslist as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Junk the truck and clean the site up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) If it won't move with a 10'000 lb mini, then you don't want to move it as it has become part of the earth. (Usually that makes them easier to Move) ^This was in response to a post that disappeared? ^ Edited June 5, 2017 by auburnseeker (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Stoneberg Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Wonder how much Poison Ivy is around and perhaps covering that truck ? Not to mention snakes, spiders, lizards and other critters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Walling Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm thinking that it might take just a little under 22 seconds to lay the fence down in order to see of the side of the truck,...or he just put it up there so you could not see the side of the truck?

auburnseeker Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Those photos will make you look twice. In the more open looking photo there is the fence, in the other photos there is no fence but something else really shading the truck, almost like a tree over it. There is also a camper in the one photos and not one in the other. Then the license plate is vertical in one and bent over in the other? The dirty laundry on the fence is a nice touch.

capngrog Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm surprised that nobody has expressed interest in the "former mint condition" 1953 Packard which is parked next to the truck. I'm sure that it looked like this when it was parked: Cheers, Grog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnseeker Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 Maybe that wasn't a fence but the barn wall leaning against it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
