    Half that would be a tough choice. Pass the rock.

    You're going to the Home Depot, a common pickup truck destination, and head to the plumbing department.
    You turn to the friendly store associate and say:
    "I want the piggest pipe you've got. Galvanized."


    You head to the checkout and the cashier, a cute little brunette in her early 20's, asks in a trailer-sweet southern drawl:
    "Whatcha gone do with that thang?".


    You slowly turn to her, cock your head to one side, smile, and deadpan out the words:
    "Ma'am, I have just received two-hundred thousand dollars. I'm going to spend one-hundred fifty thousand of it on crack, which I will use to fill this pipe. I will then smoke this pipe. All of it."


    Surprised, she gives you a semi-confused glance and says:
    "And the other fifty?"


    You answer:
    "Well, there's this pickup truck..."

    Woah! I have a Chevy Cheyenne! Ok, so its a 1992 K-2500 (with no options) from the GMT400-Series era. From the days when the Cheyenne was the entry level model, and all you got was a single speaker AM radio. I doubt I could sell it for $48k.

    There is a lot of cool machinery at that guy's store.


    How about a $280,000 car hauler?



    It's sweet as hell and all, but....

    @General Halfshaftery: Thanks for the link. I see that the seats are indeed houndstooth (the crappy CL pics made them look like unpatterned cloth). A very nice clean truck, but when I saw the price listed as $48,500 + 5% Buyer's Premium I nearly spit coffee on my monitor. Somebody smokes rocks bigger than their stones.

    My roommate and I are in the finishing stages of a full frame-off resto of this truck:

    It's way more rare (parts hard to get etc), plus it's been upgraded with an injected 383 and lots of other goodies... All for way under $20k.


    Crackpipe!

    @Mike the Dog: Thanks guys! This is actually a "phantom" build, since Chevy didn't make a big-window V8 4x4 in '61. The big window cab is from an original 283 2WD truck, and the 3/4 4x4 chassis (also correct for '61) was powered by a 235 straight six.


    The running gear consists of late 70s chevy 1/2 ton stuff, but with a built 4L60E, aforementioned 383 with Dart heads and an NP205 transfer case. Gears are 3.73 with a Dana 44/Detroit locker rear and D44/TruTrac front.


    The motor has a full serp drive system from a 90s Chevy, and also has A/C, pwer discs and power steering. The idea was to build a stock-looking truck that drive like a much newer one. So far, so good!

    @Krautwagen: And I should be clear here... as much s I love this truck and wish it were mine, it's my roomie's. He's a mech engineer/fabricator by trade, and has done some beautiful metalwork/custom touches to make everything work like it should. There is no bondo in this truck anywhere... Panels were replaced or welded as necessary, and it looks great top to bottom.

    Perhaps if it were a Chevrolet Cayenne it would be worth 48 Clevelands. That unholy marriage of '70s honest American Chevy truck and present day Stuttgart ode to wretched excess would be the stealth ride to end all.


    But it's not, and so it's worth not. And the seller, after sinking presumably a lot of do-ray-me so broky in such a folly, will have a tough time recouping his investment.

    Not for a truck that you can still get 99% of the replacement parts out of JC Whitney.

    @armyofchuckness: I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to buy all the parts from JC Whitney or LMC and pay the most expensive shop you could find to put it all together than pay the $48,500 for this. My first thought when I saw this was: Surely this isn't US dollars, maybe Australian or Nigerian or something with about a 3:1 exchange rate.

    Trucks are cool because they were meant to be abused, be it through heavy use or nuclear-grade hoonery, but if you're spending almost $50 grand on one, you'd have to pamper it. At least you can haul your collection of pipes around.
