Looks like a good truck for $200

[Guido]

This '53 just listed on e-bay certainly looks solid, complete and a good candidate for restoration. With an opening bid of $200 it is priced right for someone on the left coast.

I would bid on this truck but it has that dreaded other when it comes to the topic of Title. [V]

Dick,

How long would it take to put a "Lark shine" on that truck?

I don't know for sure about Texas, Randy, but in most states it's not a big issue to get a title for a 50 year old vehicle. I think the "powers that be" have figured out it's not quite the same thing as a missing title for a 2002 Camry [^]. Check it out. It's probably not a show stopper.

I like challenges [8D]. You buy it, I'll shine it for you, Gary [^].

(actually, if it stays cheap, I'LL buy it. Love that HD rear bumper, the big 6, little to no rust, not beat up...you could almost believe that low listed mileage)

Dick,

No need to! After you hit it with the "Lark shine" and tinker with it for a couple of days it should be ready to bring to South Bend next year. By then Clunk will be back behind the wheel of a bus and can carry you back to the great Northwest!
