Re: Time for a name chage...

Very nice truck, especially for the midwest. Those are very rare, even here in the west - probably more so, because people don't put their vehicles in garages out here. Good score.

That's what I thought when we first went to look at it. I had to call in reinforcement to make sure some of the options/color combo/... were correct.

So another thank you goes out to tcb-1, lockdoc, and lolife99 yet again.

Man Nate, that thing is gorgeous! What a find, and ready to cruise too.

How about you take a couple of pictures of the inside top of the door so I can see where the paint breaks on it. I can see in one of the pics that the white goes in to the rubber seal on the cab but I can't see the top inside of the door on any of them. Thanks.

LockDoc

Thanks for the kind words and for the help Leon. I took some pics for you, but I'm not sure if they are what you were looking for. I will try and post them tonight. If they're the wrong ones, let me know and I will take some more.

Nice Buy, I likey alot!!!! thats too damn nice for MO steel I think you might be stretching the truth about it's being local !!!!! Joking again....

Trust me Skirkpat... I think I'm going to owe these guys big time and if I ever decide to part with it, guess who I'll have to call first. I still can't believe how nice the sheetmetal is for a true midwest survivor.

Someone pinch me! Just kidding guys, I know how you all can get.... :D

Yes, the black '72 is feeling pretty low, but it's still in the garage. How I convinced my wife to do that I'll never know. :lol: Actually she suggested it, what a wife!

Re: Time for a name chage...

Man that is sweet. And Chamois is just down the road from me. Wonder where it was bought originally. Hermann, Washington, Owensville, ??? With gas prices down this summer I will be getting out more so will try to make it to more of the meets and shows.

Wow Nate, it looks better than I thought. All documents, original everything. WHAT A FIND!!!!

I know a certain show this late summer it better be at!!!!!

I'm happy for you Nate. You did good. period.

Doug... I knew I had to get some pics up before you exploded over there in KS. Thanks for the information your provided early that Saturday morning, and can't wait to make my maiden voyage to KC. :D

It will be nice to not be shunned for being the only '67-72 member showing an '08. :lol:

Just curious though, but did anyone notice that the alternator bracket looks like its upside down?

Or is it just me? :uhmk:

Congrats on a wonderful looking truck.

Did you get a good deal on it or just what they were asking for it?

IMO I got one heck of a deal on the truck. I got it for less than they were asking, and to me their asking price was right in line, if not low.

Now we were cuious about those brackets as well, but here's what we came up with. The truck was built in St Louis, and to the best of our knowledge came from the factory with a smog unit above the alternator. The required brackets are there, and the ports have been filled for the lines that ran out of the smog unit.

btw, thanks for doing your part in increasing our number for the show this year. Now we all need to go out and buy an extra truck or four. :)

Ivel, it will definitely be at the show, and I hope to have it at the Midwest Meet if we can attend. Thanks for the kind words!

Boy,... I get a stupid computer virus for a few days, and the "Cats out of the Bag!"
Nate,... you know I couldn't afford this truck, (even though it was the DEAL of the Century!),... but if I had seen it first,... it might be at my house right now. Ha.

My buddy Mike is kicking himself right now also. You only hear about finding these kind of deals. Kinda like winning the lottery. I've never been this close to seeing a truck, of this caliber for sale,... let alone, 25 miles from my house.
I'm glad you ended up getting it. I was afraid it would get away. The economy might have helped you on this one.
I don't know of a more deserving classic trucker than you. It has a good home.

Now,... if you ever decide to sell it,... call me first!

Keith, I owe you and Mike a lot, especially for not buying it first! :D

Be looking for a call for help within the next year... I think you know why.
