so my neighbor had this trashed 2007 chevy silverado his son rolled, and a 1980 chevy scottsdale in GREAT shape. I asked him what he was going to do with the totaled truck, and he said he was trying to sell it for parts but had no buyers, he then said he was also thinking of selling his scotsdale. Through the conversation he said if he could find someone to take both trucks off his property they could have them free. I looked aty him for a second and saidd ill pick them up tomorrow! he said really, i said yes.

I have a freind that has a flat bed and we picked up both trucks. Took the chevy 350 out of the new truck and put it in the scottsdale and gave the silverado body and scotsdale engine to the mechanic in trade for the labor of doing the engine swap.

Now i have a new (old) pickup for the farm, for FREE!

great!

just wanted to share

:weee :bun

Great find, what a frugal way to get a new(old) truck. Good luck with it.
