No More WD-15

The BaT auction for my truck apparently went live while I was asleep last night.
I am going to take a long, cold bath on this truck. I set a low reserve to make sure it sells. If it doesn't sell at the reserve I set I'm just going to start using it as a truck again and not worry about its value.

I think that is a really cool truck but I have no clue what it will sell for. Good luck on the auction.

Damn, the pictures you sent off to BaT are gorgeous. (But I really wish you'da clocked the hubcaps.)

GLWTA. That truck is iconic, not only from a Pelican perspective, but as an historical reference to the glory days of the industrial age in America.

(And if you find a great picture of the bed floor, BaT always lets you add new photos)

Awesome truck. I wish I could justify having one.

My uncle has an early 40's Dodge half ton that he bought in the early 60's and has had it ever since. I have some fond memories of riding around in that truck.

Incredible how much that thing resembles a 1936 Plymouth with the hood up.

$3600, does it have a heater? That thing is too pretty to use as a truck

Does this mean you have to change your name?

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

It seems like you got a good price for your Dodge; I hope you were satisfied with the auction?

There sure was a lot of interest and the bidding went pretty crazy that last half hour!

Congrats on your auction, Patrick. Looks like she'll be going to a good home!

Thanks for sharing this experience with us all here, too.

Hope you are recovering well with your back surgery.

Yes, I’m happy with the price I got. There isn’t much of a market for accurately restored old trucks. I probably could have gotten another $10,000 if I’d spay painted a junkyard SBC and wedged in it.
Spoke to the buyer. He seems like a pretty good guy.
