vanscottbuilders Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 TL -I would start by listing the truck, with photos, here on Big Mack Trucks in the "For Sale" forum.I would also advertise the truck in the ATHS "Wheels of Time" magazine.The description has to be honest and accurate. This is a very small community of old truck enthusiasts.E-Bay and/or Craig's List are also OK, if you can deal with all of the flakes and bad bidders.At least we don't have any flakes here. Some really strange folks - but no flakes.Definitely start with a listing here - it's free, and you never know - someone might be right closeby you who would buy the truck.Good Luck,Paul Van Scott Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9681-b75ls-to-sell/#findComment-36484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still a big draw on Friday and Saturday nights. I used to be there a lot in the 70's when I worked with/built bodies for a couple of racers. I lived in Springfield and worked, Shaheen's in Springfield, (defunct) Macon County Speedway, Tom Knowles, (Canton, IL), Granite City IL, Alton IL, and several others.What were some of the names around when you were a participant?Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Don't know if he is still racing or not. I've not been around any of that since the early 80's. I do remember he was fairly aggressive in a stock car.I moved onto winged sprints about 1980 as the speeds were greater as were the purses. My wife drove push truck/recovery, (as did I) and we painted many, many cars that ran that circuit. I had some very strong engines in my personal vehicles build by some of the best mechanics and machinists in the area. This was of course when a competitive engine could be built for less than $3000.00.Ahhh, the days, the memories......Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
