• Failure to follow these rules may result in your threads being locked, deleted, or moved. Depending on the severity of your actions, or frequency of your actions, your user account could be suspended or banned. These rules are to help protect both buyer and seller.


    1. CONSOLIDATE all of your for sale items into ONE thread only. This means there will be NO making multiple sales threads for different items regardless if the parts are related or not.

    2. PRICE IS REQUIRED. We do not permit ads without an asking price for each item. "Best Offer" is not an allowable substitute for posting a price. You may ask for $1 but a price must be listed regardless. If a price is not listed with in the first 24 hours of making your sale thread IT WILL BE LOCKED or DELETED. Once a price is listed a bidding war is not permitted. If the seller gets an offer that meets his asking price, the seller should honor the asking price and sell for that amount.

    3. EBAY LINKS AND OTHER LINKS. We allow links to ebay ads, but you MUST have a buy-it-now price posted, or an asking price to stop the auction in your ad here (Not just in the link). If it is from another site or from here, do not use a link but post the full text instead with pictures if you have them listed. If a BIN price is not posted, then your thread will be DELETED.

    4. CITY / STATE are required info for each ad. Information must be posted in the first post of thread, NO EXCEPTIONS. Buyers and sellers reserve the rights to privately ask for full contact information on any purchase or sale. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    5. NO TWO PARTY SALES. This means no more "I'm selling for a friend" posts and will be deleted immediately with no notice. Seller assumes all responsibility of anything they post for sale.

    6. NO FEELER THREADS. You are either selling it or you aren’t selling it.

    7. POST COUNT AND/OR TIME LIMIT. We are requesting that you spend some time with us before you start a For Sale thread. A pre-determined minimum number of posts will be required or 1 year since creating the account + an intro thread (just so we know you aren’t the Prince of Africa). Any for sale thread posted out of the For Sale section to circumvent the rules will result in being deleted. Those who do meet the criteria and post outside the section will have their thread moved, constant violation of this will result in an infraction.

    8. NO BUMPING OR TT’ing YOUR THREAD MORE THAN ONCE IN 48 HOURS. Don’t worry your thread will still be a bold read until a user reads it and if people are really interested they will let you know. Post warning will be issued if in violation and on the 3rd warning, the thread will just be locked.

    9. NO THREAD DUMPING OR I DON’T LIKE YOUR PRICE. Don’t post in a person’s thread just to tell them they are too high, either move along and say nothing or throw an offer to them. The person can sell it at whatever price they think someone is willing to pay. Offenders will be issued a warning, if it is a constant issue then an infraction will be issued.

    10. KEEP YOUR THREAD UP TO DATE. This is really for your benefit, so you don’t get 10 PMs asking if you still have it when you already sold it.

    11. NO WEAPONS. As Admins we have determined that no weapons will be allowed to be sold, this includes knives, guns and anything else deemed a weapon (even if its a wall hanger only). We ask that if you want to sell these items you seek out the appropriate websites elsewhere to do so.

    12. Pictures are REQUIRED. Pictures of all items for sale. This is to help BOTH seller and buyer. As a seller it is MUCH easier to sell something if you have pictures of it. As a buyer you feel better seeing exactly what you are buying. Pictures should contain the item/s for sale and a sign of some kind that has your username on it. 24 hour notice will be given, if you do not comply your post will be DELETED.

    FRAUD & RISK. Buy and Sell at your own risk. Grand Prix Forums and its staff are not responsible if someone rips you off or doesn't send parts out in a timely manner. This classifieds section is a free service for the community, and it is YOUR responsibility to handle all transactions in a low-risk method. DO NOT contact us if there is a dispute between you and someone else, we are NOT INVOLVED. You can help minimize fraud risk by doing these suggestions:

    Pay using PAYPAL, using a credit card. This way, if a part does not arrive, you can do a charge back through your credit card company. If you gift it, then you have no recourse to get your money back when things fall through. Pay the 3% and have the buyer protection. Using someone else's paypal and gifting to pay for goods is violating Paypal's Terms of Service.



    Always ask for full name, residential address, phone numbers of both buyers and sellers. An honest seller should have no problem disclosing this info to you privately.


    Shipping things C.O.D. is risky. Try to use UPS or Fedex, so that you can track shipments. Have someone sign for it if it is expensive.


    Ask for references from other members, hopefully from other members who have been registered for longer than one year and are active here.


    Use your gut feeling. If something seems too good to be true, or a seller/buyer seems a little shady, don't take the risk.

    TIPS:
    -Post pictures: with mobile phones these days and auto uploads, it’s not even really hard anymore. Have it automatically drop in Photobucket, grab the Img tag link and paste it in.

    -Give good contact information if you aren’t going to be on here a lot.

    -If you are going to disappear for an extended time (vacation, time in jail, what have you), then give us a quick note that you aren’t going to be around. People will trust you a little more.

    -Look around and gauge your price with other items. Just cause you bought it for $1000, doesn’t mean it’s now worth $1,200 or even the original $1,000. You are free to ask what ever you want, but an item that is priced right will sell quicker.
  • The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

FS: 1979 Chevy 4x4 shortbox, drivetrain rebuilt

Listing my pickup for sale. I bought a newer Z71 last year and dont use this as often anymore so it's time to let it go. Plus I'm getting married this summer and I told her that all of the money from the truck I'm setting aside for the wedding fund.

1979 Chevrolet Scottsdale K10 4x4 1/2 ton shortbed. Has a 350 engine and TH350 transmission with posi 3.73 gears.
Rancho shocks, BDS suspension lift, American racing aluminum wheels, BF Goodrich all terrains, Nerf bars, Delta tool box, Eclipse CD player, Amplifier, 2 Pioneer subs behind the seat, Viper alarm system. Alarm system could use a new pin switch under the hood and some new batteries in the fobs, 350 engine Jasper rebuild that was put in in 2005. I have the receipt from Carls 4-wheel drive showing the engine and exhaust work, Edelbrock 600 cfm electric choke carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold, Transmission rebuilt in 2005, Transfer case was rebuilt in 2004/2005, Rear end rebuilt in 2005, New front and rear drive shafts put in 2004-2006 somewhere, Has a 60/40 split seat from a 98 Sileverado, 90s GM pickup steering wheel, Reese hitch, Optima red top battery put in a few months ago.
Other work that's been done recently was last fall I put new Gates belts on all of the accessories, put a new alternator on it for a voltage fluctuation problem, new starter this spring, changed the plugs last fall, new shoes and brake cylinders last fall as well as replaced a couple brake lines and the rear brake cable and left rear brake cable/whip. I forget what else.
The tires in the back are great, the fronts are still good last time I checked, comes with a full size spare with never used matching American racing wheel.
Has a painless wiring accessory switch box between the driver and middle low on the dash. Nothing is really used on it anymore. The previous owner was a firefighter and had lights hooked up to it.
Has OEM towhooks on the front of the frame.. Has Warn brand manual locking hubs, otherwise its full time 4wd
The truck does have AC although it's a 70s pickup so it isn't super cold. Could just use a charge for all I know. I just preferred to open the vent windows instead.
Has an FM inline transmitter installed on the antenna of the radio so you can listen to your iPhone/iPod/cd player.
Comes with a bunch of spare parts accumulated as well as a couple new parts including new pads for the front.
Replaced the blower fan for the heat/AC
Has an aftermarket overhead shelf in the front of the roof inside as well as a Dashmat dash cover (yes the dash is cracked).
Does need a new window washer pump.
Previous owner had put around $20k into the truck in the 90s and when I bought the truck, he gave me a large stack of receipts. I have since misplaced them.
All of the major work was done by Carls 4 wheel drive in Bartelso, IL (by me and the previous owner) although I dont really have any receipts as Im terrible with organization.
It is in good shape mechanically if you can look past the rust in the quarters and the occasional dent here and there. I would drive this truck to hell and back. I love this truck but as much as it pains me to see it go, with another truck, theres no sense in keeping it.
I have never taken it mudding, only used the 4 wheel drive when I needed it, and never torn it up.
Clear title in hand.

$3000 obo. I prefer to do face to face deals but if picking the truck up isn't an option, I would be willing to arrange a pick up with a third party auto courier. I have used one a couple times in the past and it went fine. Feel free to post in here or PM me with any questions, etc.
Zip code is 62853
Thanks for looking.
