I bought my latest '69 GMC from the estate of the original owner who committed suicide and left this truck with the original camper on it. A nephew parked it on the lawn with a for sale sign. I got it for $600 needing just a fuel pump, in near mint condition in 1996 (80s restoration I believe).
I sold the camper for $300 to a neighbor who needed an office in his garage, so the truck was basically $300. It was only used for fishing trips to a nearby lake and only had 90K miles with the original engine working fine (since replaced).

Unfortunately I had to commit it to a life of hard labor after I wrecked my '69 1500 soon after the purchase and it is not "mint" any more! -BA
