Looking at trade, need opinion

[wnaplay1647545503]

I am looking at a trade for a 32 ford p/u truck. Its a project that needs work. Its mostly there but definately needs work. For those who are un-aware what a rat rod is look at my alblum. We have negotiated over the past few weeks and we are now at the point where he wants my bike(98 cbr 900rr) and $1000 cash money. Any opinions? I am loading pics of the truck and of the bike for comparison. For those who remember, I got a steal on the bike.

Heres the truck

do it. Make it look like the one in my link, with a better color!!!

[Dave1647545494]

do it with no fenders and real wood bed those old trucks are awesome

[wnaplay1647545503]

It has fenders which I like but the engine cowl must go. Whats it worth?

[wnaplay1647545503]

Something like this. Just not as nice. Whos gonna help finish it?

hell that thing is ready to run..

 

just fucking do it.

 

but tell him your bike and 500.if not then hand him the 1000

 

then just drop it off over here

[Dave1647545494]

is it a kit car or a real 32?

 

real all steel 32's are getting hard to find and that looks decent for 77 year old car

[TimTaylor751647545500]

What figure do you put on the bike?

 

Looks like a steel body (rust on lower cowl in 2nd pic)

 

There's a lot of money in that '32 and once it's put together it'll be worth quite a bit more than the bike IMO.

[wnaplay1647545503]

What figure do you put on the bike?

Well I built the bike for free(I will never sell it on here now). I bought 3 bikes and made this one in 4 hrs and sold everything else so this bike is free. Except for the $300 in brand new parts this year. I would sell it outright for $2800 plus the $1000 he wants.

I at one time offered him, my van, my bike and my camper. He turned me down then came asking for them. He then said my bike plus $2800. We are now at the bike and $1000, I was going to do the $500 as well but there is almost no chance in getting it done. I then have to figure out how much more to finish it up so its driveable to cruise while I work on it here and there. main priority is getting it on the road to cruise.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

Looks like steering, brakes, wiring are the bigger items on the to-do list (from the pics).

[wnaplay1647545503]

Waiting on a to-do list from him. My priority when doing projects is that I need to double my money in a split second if I decide to sell.

[Ramsey]

dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttt

[Dave1647545494]

looks like it needs a steering colum and complete brakes for starters it also has no lights no glass and no radiator your going to lay out a good chunk of change to put that on the road unless it comes with a huge box of parts

[Aaron]

Not a huge fan of the fender look. But I would do it. Bikes are all the same, that has true character.

[wnaplay1647545503]

Waiting on parts list as well. This is a fair weather driver so it has front glass thats what I need. Someone ball park me some price ideas. This project is beyond anything I have ever done. I can figure it out eventually but anyone have experience? Rat rods are known for using the barest of essentials. If it was just for the bike, I would say no problem. The $1000 I hate to come off of.

[Cordell]

Eh cars that old aren't my thing, however it doesn't sound like a bad deal at all. If the truck is something you want to fix up and keep I'd do it, but if you're just looking for a deal I'd pass.

[wnaplay1647545503]

This would be my keeper. Since my 71 chevelle was destroyed by a drunk driver, I have been looking for something, almost everyday for 8 years now. I was gonna go fbody but everyone got one, I was gonna go vette but everyone started getting them and then I got hurt and spent the vette money on bills to survive so I thought why not get something the next guy wont have. And since then I have come to really like the rat rod look. The corvair was going to be it but I sold it earlier this year.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

If the cab is solid, those can go for $2k+ alone.

 

There's a guy who built his entire '32 for $3k on clubhotrod.com, but he really went out of his way to source parts that he could use for the build. I think you could easily have a couple more grand into her to get it complete (depending on how "finished" you want her to look)

Well there's your answer. Rat rod 32 Ford pick up, all steel, and very cool in it's own right.

[Dave1647545494]

rat rod usually means unsafe pos that barley drives or a 50k car built out of new parts that looks like it barley drives they make "rust" color powdercoat now so people can make a nice car look all fucked up

 

count on 3-5k if you scrounge and leave it rusty closer to 10k if you make it nice
