Important

thank God people cant spell.....I was scouring CL and came across a random listing for a "67 cehvy" and it was posted on Feb 12th...I called the guy bc it looked like a good deal, almost too good by the pics. He said it was his grandpas old truck and he inherited it and drove it a year and it just is not his style. He also said it needed a pan gasket and he did not know how to work on stuff. He said he has not had a single call on it and needs cash bad (bad thing to tell me!) so I cut the price in half from even his lowered price in the phone call....and he accepted it. I am rolling out saturday morning for a 4 hour drive there to get it. Once I pull the front clip I can scrap the rest and come out even for purchase price and the diesel it will take to go get it. Hell, it even has a clear title too.....

Tyler, I hope that nobody else finds that and has ready cash. Wrong spellings or typos are commonly looked for.

Agreed! Unfortunately on a Neon you gotta swap a bunch of SRT parts on to get disks and you need a 16" wheel to clear them! The 8.8 on the Jeep has disks!

I love my 8.8, even though it eats tires...
I'm gonna start looking into MC and prop valve swaps, my rear brakes dont seem as good as they should be.

Just before WF, I pulled the NEON out to free up a nce comfey stall for the XJ while I went though it. When I went to pull it back in, the drivers side rear wheel really didn't want to roll very well and seemed like it was sticking. Hmmm. Got it in the garage, and off to WF I went - It could wait.

Pulled off the drum today and saw something I have not seen in the entire time I have been working on stuff. The brake linings came unglued from the shoes.

Lucky, it was just my driveway ;)

But I remember when they went away from rivets and went to glue and I always wondered if that kinda stuff could happen.

I Had a 97 or 98 neon before the jeep. did the same thing, i thought it was from all the Ebrake slides....maybe its a "thing"
 
That chevy is the kinda deal you have to jump on... been there done that!

I bet you could double or triple your money over time if you park it in the back 40 and part it out instead of just scrapping it. And make a whole lot of old chevy restorers happy in the process.

Find a WJ in the bone yard and nab the booster, MC, and valve.

It hadnt had a single call since it was listed in the begining of february, so I am not too concerned. He gave me until Saturday evening to come get it....but I have been stung by last minute sells before.

I currently have a 69 SWB that I am tinkering with but my big project is this 67 short bed stepside that I am building form the ground up. I bought a c-notched freshly powercoated frame and have put in a 73-87 front cradle w/ upgraded disk brakes, 2.5" drop spindles, 3" drop front coils, 5" rear drop coils w/ 1" block, CPP cross members, custom built trailing arms, the cab is getting a work over with all new rockers, corners, kicks etc, the stepside bed is virtually rust free so it gets soda balsted and then off to paint. The 67 I am picking up this weekend is going to be the donor for the front clip and I am thinking I am going to just snatch the I6 out of it and put in the 69 and just use it a shop truck/cruiser. Kind of like a flat black with no frills rig..something a greaser or flat biller would drive...but I would be sporting my seed hat instead :farmer:

That was a lovely commute this morning at 25-28 degrees and light snow, roads were rather slick. Forecast for tomorrow is less pleasant.

if you are talking about cutting and welding in a sub frame, I have helped with one, but never doen one all on my own start to finish. This project I am doing now has the 73-87 chevy trcuk sub frame under it and it is a basically bolt on swap. It lined up to 8 of the 10 holes and I only had to drill the other 2 and it was ready to bolt up.

When we did a frame chop/weld in subframe swap, it was in an old chevy truck like a 53 I think. I dont even remember what fron end we put under it, something like a mustang 2 front end or corvair..something weird like that. It was pretty simle, just a lot of measuring and using large diamond (fish mouths) for plating and reinforcing the welded joints. Did I mention lots of measuring. Main thing was finding a given spot to pull from and keeping everything square...which is easier said then done on an item that has less then perfect tolerances from a plant in 1953 :D

How does the Paypal scam work on Craigslist? I'm messing with a scammer now and I just don't understand how they use Paypal and you someone how don't get paid.

Dude said his name is "brown" and is out of town (CA) but willing to pay full price for the "item". Gotta be a scammer.
 
they can send funds that wont clear or will get recalled. I have jacked with them before. I have replied to them stating that they can have it up front and just send me the money later, go ahead and send your driver..its all good. No drivers have ever shown up to pick up anything....and I usually give them our address at our hog barns...if they did show up and shit went down, I have 6000 hogs to help with evidence :D
