Re: Know the history of your truck ?
I have the history for mine and actually tracked down the original owners son in Washington State about 6 weeks ago. My truck was sold new from Bonecutter-Hill Chevrolet on July 5th/1972 to Lee & Opal Buck from Smith Centre, Kansas. Mr. Buck had a cap and the hideous rear bumper installed that was still on the truck when I bought it in 2014. A you can see by the spid I find the truck was ordered with a different (weird ) combo of options. Mr. Bucks son Bob acquired the truck in 1987 and it went to Washington State. When talking with Bob Buck on the phone he told the truck was always garaged from new and while he owned it he had a lot of people offer to buy it but he said he wouldn't sell it to them because most everyone that wanted to buy it told him they were gonna lower it etc. and he didn't want that to happen to the truck. I asked Bob if his Dad had special ordered the truck new and he said no and Dad hated the seat (Avocado Highlander Plaid) and when the truck was new went and bought a seat cover so the seat was covered up for many years. Bob Buck sold it to Joey Vought in 2011 and it was transported by truck form Washington to Windom Minnesota. I did talk with Joey as well but he didn't say much. Kyle Fergen acquired the truck from Joey in early 2014 and I picked it up in Brookings South Dakota on November 1/2014 and drove it home 875 miles that day.
Bob sent me the picture ( its from a snapshot ) of the truck just after it was purchased in July 1972 which shows the cap and rear bumper. Bob also said he really appreciated me getting hold of him because he and his siblings were emailing and calling each other because after he mentioned the truck it brought back a lot of family memories. I told him this truck will be in my Estate ( but I said that about the pink one too ) and well looked after while i own it. As you can see by the pics I made some cosmetic changes which to me seriously enhance the appearance of the truck.
