Check it out! 41k mile 1 ton
 

Just got home with a 1971 1 ton dually with 41k original miles on it! I bought this truck about 3 years ago from the original owners and it had a camper on it. It had 36k miles on it then. I sold it to a friend that used it to pull his boat to the lake and camp it the truck. The camper was needing some work so he removed it about 3 months ago. He decided to sell it again so I bought it back. This truck is 100% rust free!! Runs and drives like new. 402/4 speed and a factory tilt wheel!! I didn't really need another 1 ton, but this one was too nice to pass up again. I guess I will be looking for a flat bed soon?? Look at the pic of the floor!!! These is also a pic from when I first got it 3 years ago. :D

if you dont mind me asking, what did you buy it back for ($$$)

I paid $3300.00 for it. I paid more for it the second time around, but now there is NO camper and it has 6 new wheels and tires, and stainless wheels covers. I had always wished I would have kept this one, now I have it back!

so how does that work with the big block? the badges are 400 (which is for the 402 thats in it) but the option sheet says 396. i know that a 402 is just a 396 bored .030 over but do they still lable it as a 396 on the sheet???

You know how GM is?? In 1971 the option sticker says 396, the fender says 400, and the emission sticker on the inner fender says 402!!! I have seen several this way.

Good deal Joe, that's a real clean example.

Joe, in another thread we were discussing one tons w/big blocks....what's the gear ratio on that one. Any idea? How about the RPMs at 6 MPH...would you know that one?

very nice Joe, Are you going to have to build another new shop to keep it in? :)

Wow,, very nice. I would love to have one like that!

Longhorn man, The truck has a 4:10 gear, I looked up the rear end code last night. It dosn't have a tach (yet)

griesel72, David, looks like I might need another shop soon!!

Pretty Sweet Joe...glad to see you where able to get her back. Keep us posted if you do anything with 'er.

Joe you dog, you get all the nice stuff!!! :D

I wish that I had of find one like before I started the project that I am working on now. Oh well everything happens for a reason. Looks great.

Joe, I have room in my shop. Just trying to save you the hassle of building a new shop. But then again, if you built any more shops, you could sell your mower. No grass anywhere.

What is real interesting, is that the back wall of the cab was not chopped up for a door when the camper was put on originally. I have never seen one that wasn't cut out.

Actually, the top was cut out above the rear window, into the roof!! It has been temporally fixed, but not real good. I am going to fix it right in the spring.

Now if I could just sell that mower for the price of another shop....humm... :lol:

i know where theres a 69/70 truck just like that, beutiful condition (faded paint but NO rust.

it has the huge camper on it to, how hard are they to get rid of?

the one i know if is light green, with beutiful original bucket seats (only option i noticed) but i supppose it might have a tach/vac guage, and maybe has a big block??? i never looked that close.

Nice truck Joe. Just my color too. Looks like your going to be the Flatbed 30 series president of these rare collectibles.

Joe nice one ton..............One ton Dually's Rock............ :metal: :metal:

:D Thanks for the kind words guy's!! I washed it up today, didn't change much with the paint being faded so bad, but it is clean. It will probally sit for now. ( too many other thing going on!) Anybody know where to buy a new flatbed? I haven't looked into them yet.

Joe

Looks like it lost the hood ornament along the way, not that that is a bad thing. Great looking truck!

Joe, try , Fentons, 816-579-5665, They are just below the Bridge to Atchison, Kansas on the Missouri side. Hwy 59.

i love that area below the bridge......it's like shanty town. there is also a 67 or 68 sitting in the weeds along that stretch.

Ya, the hood ornament had to go!

Kevin, thanks. I will check them out.
