What I got was:
(sounded just like Elvis too)
"What the Hell are ya thinkin'g, boy? Do you remember who I am, what we've done together and the chicks we've seen on shop wall calendars? You're willing to throw all that away for my older sister? You're sick, man!
Tell you what, I'll let you cook grilled peanut butter and banana sammies on my manifolds if you call this thing off. I-I-I'd let ya deep fry but I don't think you'd like the oil."
Well, he pushed all my buttons and I caved in so the '67 45LV is gonna have to find a new home and someone to redo her/his makeup over.
Many of you commented on stock and mild build but hung mostly with stock. Paitience and cost don't factor in to my decision, it's all about timing. Sure, I could hold onto it for 6 months or a year then do it but I have 3 Fiats and one BMW 2002Tii in line for attention. I do all the work 'cept for machining so working on the 45 wouldn't be anything new just bigger.
The rear diff is being rebuilt as I type. The entire housing is being flushed just incase any metal worked it's way into the wheel bearings so it'll have new wheel bearings and seals along with the fresh diff. It will have new hoses and belts and I might rebuild the carb. There was a rebuild kit with the truck.
So that's it, y'all. I do not have a price in mind and most of you know what I paid. I'm leaning towards E-bay as a result. Every man has his price though.
I will tell you that I will not try to sell it till the work is finished and I've been able to drive it. I want to have some info on the tranny, clutch and front diff before I advertise it. I can tell the steering will need tierod ends etc.
