Mark D Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Found something that looks too interesting to pass up. Any pointers from you truck guys? I've got an appointment to see this on the weekend. I'm thinking I might drag this down to my place in the carolinas and park it in the garage for a few years until I'm full-timing it down there. Advertisement says its a '52 B3C, "Needs total restoration". Partially disasembled.. Comes with 3 motors. 1 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Look for the cancer...looks to be in all the normal places. Make sure you get all the parts taken off. Enjoy. Looks solid enough for a resto Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 lets see, wiper motor, blower motor and a starter motor.... I see it is equipped with a wheel house... 1 Quote
Mark D Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 I see it is equipped with a wheel house... Aren't most equipped with a place to steer them? Or is this new truck centric terminology that a car guy needs to learn? 1 Quote
Brent B3B Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 some of the cancer looks like the door bottoms, fender rivets and cab mounts......., check floor boards and pull the seat to look for "Swiss cheese" where the cab and floor meet...... oh yeah, check the front spring hangers for abnormal wear..... i second that, "looks soild enough" ........ ( but then again, it turns out ggdad1951 will buy just about anything ) if you end up with it.......... photo's! 1 Quote

Mark D Posted June 12, 2015 Author Report Posted June 12, 2015 when is a spare considered not a spare? I would think rubber is required for it to qualify as a spare. Quote
JBNeal Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 hop in the cab, see how much of a crunching noise it makes...if the answer is "...and how!", then walk away 2 Quote
1952B3b23 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 That trucks about 30 mins away from me. I'd say for the price it's a good deal. Even if it does have some cancer in it. -Chris 1 Quote

I would think rubber is required for it to qualify as a spare. it appears you got your spare in kit form.... looks to me like Mark D got the humor.... he just played you oh yeah! I have heard the wind blow before..nothing new to me...Mark had not even realized his was in kit form.... 1 Quote
pflaming Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Mark, don't worry to much about the truck, but watch Plymouthy ( pronounced, ply mouth ee). Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 Mark, don't worry to much about the truck, but watch Plymouthy ( pronounced, ply mouth ee). aren't you supposed to be driving to Maine right now...this is not a road show... Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 you do that and you may get in trouble..remember Clark Griswold and the dog going cross country...of course you driving a Honda the dog may well be able to keep up...be sure to check them sandwiches before eating them.. 1 Quote
