Deal or no deal?

So the add says:

$1000
2 70’s model gmc trucks
1 older ford escort wagon (meh)
3 50’s models

What is in this first pic. My eyes are getting bad.

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

The first one... '60-'63 GM, I believe.

.

 

[26Troadster]

i agree with doc, first one 60-63 and the last one 73-75 maybe 76 with the sunken grille.

 

[kelseydum]

He doesn’t have many pics posted. Nothing is just screaming come get me about any of these but $1000 for 5 vehicles is most worth to have them for extra parts on future projects

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

Some people are nuts for those 5 window cabs.

I'm strangely attracted to the wreckers. I'd have to go look if they're close by!

1st one-64-66 Chevy or GMC
3rd one-might be a 46 Chevy GMC, not sure. Stepped firewall may be Ford instead.
4th one- 47-54 Chevy or GMC 5 window, desirable cab
Last one- 73-74 Chevy. 75 and later have flush grill instead of recessed.
rest is unknown parts
Not sure there's even $1000 worth of scrap metal there.

First one is a knee knocker 60 to 63 Bama
Fourth one is between late 47 to 50 because of the wingless door window and pull down door handle.

Good catch OI. I'm not up on the Chevys as good. Didn't notice the missing wing window. 60-65 are hard for me to pick out, too. I know the earlier ones had torsion bar front ends.

I agree with you on the wreckers. I definitely would have to at least take a look at them.

 

[Toad]

That's a lot of stuff to haul out, is it accessible?

[kelseydum]

Toad I have no idea my man. I may have to go take a look in person. Hell, they may take $500. They just said they need it all gone.

For those of you that like wreckers I know where this is at.... and I frickin L O V E the wheels on this thing.

Awe nuts, for some reason I only took pics of the door art and wheels. Haven’t been there in a few weeks but I’ll get picks when I go back... unless one of yous knows what year or years they made these wheels???

 

[Bamamav]

8 lug 18" wheels, pretty common on AD series ton trucks. Most people got rid of them in the 70's because tires got hard to find, 18" wasn't commonly used anymore. Now 18" are everywhere.

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

The wheels are likely useless, except for a restoration. They're hub centric and won't (safely) accept a tubeless tire.

[bob w]

$20.00 a ton.

 

[kelseydum]

Crankenstein, that’s a shame. They are pretty cool... or at least I think so.

 

[Bamamav]

Yeah, for sure tube type. You might get by running a tubeless tire on them, but I bet you’d end up running tubes.

 

[Old Iron]

Ya can't hardly find anyone that'll put tires on those widow makers anymore either because of them being split rims.
Ford and Chevy were two different hub centric and lug pattern, at least on the earlier ones.

 

[Skip]

Not a cheap proposition, but couldn't the centers be used with modern rims? Best of both worlds, and money is no object. Right?

Depends on the application... hub/center bore and stud size would have to be the same...

You'd be better off to copy the shape and get custom wheels made.
