For only $1000 you can have an old NAPA delivery truck with the hat on the roof.

That’s odd. When I posted it showed a link to the ad. Let’s try that again. Bonus, he’ll trade for guns.

Very cool! The local shops around here use a Chevrolet Spark (how does it haul anything? 0_o) and a first-gen GMC Canyon.

In an awful lot of ads in the US, guns seem to be an accepted payment method. If I tried this in France, I guess the police would be visiting within an hour :)
Seriously though, what’s up with guns as payment? Is that really a thing? If so, why?

If that brown thing in the tailgate doesn’t count as a rust, I wonder how’s the rust in the floor looking like.

Among rednecks, yep, it’s a thing.

Guns have value and are desirable to a lot of people in the US. And, trading is something that’s a thing on Craigslist, so if you want guns, why not ask for guns? And, private party firearm transfers in the US are basically unregulated...

(I mean, it’s harder to sell a car private party in the US than a gun - a car, you have to transfer a title, and the state tracks who owns which VIN. Guns? Hahahaha, no.)

Around me I see several Festivas and either Rangers or S10s.

They don’t carry a whole lot of big parts actually in store. Engines and transmissions are generally ordered and drop shipped. If you’re mainly delivering shocks, brake parts, and sensors a compact car is plenty.

our local Repco store had a Suzuki Mighty Boy as a parts ute years ago.

Repco aka Rip Every Poor Customer/Cunt Off

I’ve never traded a gun for some other commodity. I have traded a gun for a different gun, but that was with a hunting buddy so not quite the same as doing it with a stranger.

I have however traded ammunition for car parts. It was ammunition for a 100 year old French rifle owned by a gentleman in his 80's. I felt comfortable that he wasn’t planning to use it to rob the corner gas station.

Yeah tailgate, beneath the right brake light, and if there’s no rust in that bed I would be shocked.

That would make an awesome LeMons vehicle if you could get it cheaper.

Well that is reassuring!

That seems really odd to me.
Then again, so is carrying a gun. It’s really not integrated in our culture here.
The only real guns I saw here were from a cop friend and another friend who has a permit, had a gun for a while, but sold it after some time because it’s a pain in the ass for a civilian to own a gun.

I don’t own any guns myself, but even if I did, I’d be leery as hell of trading them for something else, or different guns. What if the gun you trade away is used to commit a crime and the new owner never registered it? Or what if the gun you got committed a crime? Way too many variables for my liking.

He said “ only rust in floor on drivers side ”. So, there’s only rust, no sheetmetal.

The hat trucks! I haven’t seen those in... well shoot, I don’t remember when they stopped doing the hats. Cool find!

I’m going to remember that incase I ever sell a real junker.

I know there was one location near a place I used to live that still had S10's with the hats. That would’ve only been about 5 years ago.

Feels like longer than that. Maybe they were just phased out sooner in my area.

Probably a matter of when individual shops replaced their trucks.
