Well shyt, can I change my answer?

My swine flu not that bad…

 

[MacDaddyRabbit]

OUCH!! Yeah that hurts.... A lot.....
Not sure I'd be a buyer... for me (zero welding skills) rust is a killer...
She just moved real close to being a donor so that others may live..

 

[DesertEmu]

Anything can be fixed . I think it’s best it gets new parts and body work . Would you paint this or clear coat it to leave original paint .

 

[scrapdaddy]

So who would be willing to spend another 10 grand to fix the rust, if you're not a welder and another 5 grand for new parts, etc. not including any paint, etc. There's a whole lot hidden costs here. I'd rather spend money on somebodies project that stalled and have the body repairs all done.

You don’t see these pigs in Canada they are buried in the ground . I’m sure you can fix this I looked at other guys pigs on here sone had the same issues .

 

[RUSH55]

what am looking at in costs .

Are you thinking about having it fixed?

 

[bobm]

It can be saved! It will depend on the new owners skill level! I wouldn't part it out, but I would'nt pay more than 2.5gs because it would be 5gs by the time I got it back here! That being said $1,000 bucks

That one comes with spare also..

 

[DesertEmu]

Are you thinking about having it fixed?

I think so . My body guy said it can definitely be fixed don’t stress yourself . I don’t want this truck to be scraped it’s still complete. I don’t plan on putting a lot of money into if that’s what your thinking but do it right .

Can this one be saved too

Can this one be saved too

That one looks more like a parts rig.

I think so

So did you decide to buy it from the owner (the elderly woman)?

Of course your body can can fix it. He gets paid to do it.

Not seeing how you can not put a lot of money into it and do it right? It takes time and money to do it right.

I change my original answer. This is $1500 as is non running.

 

[onemanarmy]

Is the green one even for sale? why the talk of price? is there no price on it? why hasn't the owner/seller told you a price? what we think doesn't really matter.

I'd give $1000 if we are just playing

I hope those upper and lower front fenders have been saved

A gift would be to get the damaged roof pic pig for free, put some roller rims/tires and get it towed to your place... Then buy the 82 year old ladies 72 pig that needs some rust repair to your place for a reasonable dollar...(it runs and drives?) Sell/use parts off the dented roof donor truck...
If you're living right and lucky, maybe the dented roof truck has intact repair panels for the floor, body mounts, rockers, etc...doubt it, but you never know..
Agree w same2447 re 'of course your body guy says he can save it'.. it's what he does...
Hopefully you'll look at it as a fun project and get it back to life/use...
