Looks Amazing! And quite a budget build. I remember watching your PVC video and thinking about how good your bed looks compared to my ’62 wrong-bed. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks John. Yes, I'm pretty happy with how little it cost to put together. I did get lucky on a lot of my purchases, and I believe prices have gone up on pretty much everything I needed, since I built the truck a couple of years ago. I'm sure it would cost more if I tried to do the same today.
I bought the Vic about 3 years ago. The RCMP (Canadian national Police Force) were selling a lot of them at time and $1200 Canadian, was about the going rate. Since then the Canadian government made the crazy decision to no longer sell retired police vehicles. This along with used car prices going up in general has pushed Vic prices way up here too. I think around $4k is the new going rate here now. I'm kicking myself that I didn't buy a few more when they were cheap.
Just finished watching all your videos. Excellent job Wayne!!! You are a master builder!!! Very impressive!! I too got a 60 short box out of Sask last year and have had it in the shop all winter, but I’m just rebuilding to stock. Maybe someday I would like to do a swap like you did. Yours looks very professional, amazing!! You are very easy to listen to, great videos Wayne! Thank you Todd
Thank you for the kind words Todd, it makes my day! I'd like to make it back to Saskatchewan some day to look for my next project. I think there are still a few gems to be found there. I'm really enjoying my 60. I'm sure you will too. Good luck with your build!
Don’t wait too long to get back to Sask, the scrap guys are cleaning everything up. It’s real sad to see. The scrap guys are paying good and the older ranchers and farmers are letting it all go.
@@todddaniels9488 good point. It's amazing how much scrap prices have changed in the last couple of years. I gave away my crown Vic body because scrap was worthless 2 years ago.
That's very high praise, thank you! It might not be SEMA material, but I don't think I could buy anything as nice for the money I've got into it. I've sold another $500 worth of parts since I made the video, so my bottom line is even a little better now!
Love the truck. Great job. I am wondering if you still have the mirrors off the original truck in printed photo? I'm redoing my truck and I need those style mirrors. I'm having an extremely difficult time finding them, so I'm reaching out.
Thanks! I still have one mirror, but not the bottom bracket that attaches to the door. Someone else beat you to it. If you're still interested in the mirror, contact me at janzen.wayne@gmail.com and I'll send you some pictures.
The truck was a good deal at $800. I bought it almost 3 years ago and prices were lower then. I had posted on a fb group that I was looking for a project truck and a farmer in Saskatchewan sent me the picture I used in the video, and a few more. I gave him an etransfer for his asking price without even seeing it. The truck was far from perfect and I did a lot of rust repair on the floor and cab corners, but still a great deal. I'm always looking for deals like this. I don't find them very often.
@@waynejanzen9346 ok I have nothing at this point so painted or chrome would be a great start, the shipping would be to Warwick Rhode Island, 02886 I wonder how much they would charge me to ship it, also how much would you like to get for it, (I’m in United States, so US currency)
Oh, and I should have mentioned, you did do a great budget built “hot rod” I think it’s much too nice to be called a rat rod, way to much time for that catagory.. I really like it, maybe if deboss does a show this year you can enter it..
@@ryanhogan6509 thanks for the nice words about my truck! It's been a fun project. Please send me an email, janzen.wayne@gmail.com, so I can send you some pictures and we can discuss details there.
