The original owner lived in Minden Nv. His name is Eugene (likely Basque), and I believe it was sold to him from a lot in Gardnerville. I have the information stored with the paper work. I suspect he's old or gone (been meaning to look)......He obviously liked the outdoors, 5th wheel, heavy duty rear bumper, camper mirrors, boat launching hitch, BBC, rear leaf springs, CB........Lucky for me he chose the wrong truck for it, being a SWB.
Flash forward 1989..........If I recall, he traded it in for a new truck (what you want to guess a long bed?).....There it was, sitting at the corner of a small used car lot on John and Carson Street. I didn't know what I was getting, and just thought it was a neat little truck. I didn't even realize it was a BBC until after I had brought it home, and I thought, hey that's kind of cool.. I wasn't exactly brought up around mechanics. I paid $2700 for it.
They painted it to sell. As cheap a paint job as you can get. Was Ochre and white. This isn't the original bed (had saddle bags, go figure). Currently tearing her down, try to make Eugene proud.
