??? rare fleetside long wheelbase PU ??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was checking for a few truck prices and thought someone might appreciate this one. All for only 15K.

WOW!! That's a steal for such a "rare" truck in such pristine condition!

toms68cst · 01-30-2003, 05:19 PM

I think the decimal point is in the wrong place.

crazy longhorn · 01-30-2003, 05:21 PM

It could be rare.....the auto trans might be "bleeding"

Scottri · 01-30-2003, 06:25 PM

Cool! I thought mine was pretty common but since it's "rare" I'm really in love with it now.

70cst10_05 · 01-30-2003, 06:28 PM

hell, my truck used to look just like that and if it "was" worth that much, then damn im gonna make a fortune when i get done with it, haha.

What is that guy smoking?

**COBALT** · 01-30-2003, 06:51 PM

He's smoking the same stuff a lot of Washington people with their father's or uncle's chevy truck are smoking. I can't tell you how many times I've run into some bonehead who thinks his dad's beat-up '70 LWB is so rare they can't part with it for less than $4000.

Just laugh and move on to the next truck.

Car Collector also has a TON of crap for sale on it too. It seems to be a junk yard for overpriced rustbuckets.

gashog · 01-30-2003, 06:56 PM

and it looks like it may even have the rare ventalated rocker panels.

3damnboyz · 01-30-2003, 07:06 PM

dont knock those rockers, i bet he spent 25-30 years on the rust belt waiting list for those rare beauties

**68 Stepside** · 01-30-2003, 07:46 PM

good lord, I hope that ad's a joke.

1971LT1SWBPOSI373 · 01-30-2003, 10:41 PM

Judging by the amount of mold on the topper, it appears that it was just drug out of the woods. Probably with the aid of a tractor. Keep shopping.....

Ha Ha Ha

You let ANYTHING sit outside in Western Washington for more than 3 weeks and you'll start to grow mold or moss, or mushrooms on it.

3 weeks??? That thing has been in the woods for 3 years. Take a look at the rust on the upper drip rails. Keep Shoppin'.

1974ChevyC10 · 01-30-2003, 11:44 PM

wow if he can get 15K for that then my truck is worth 20K-yeah right.i think 500 dollars is a fair asking price for it considering the condition

Longhorn Man · 01-30-2003, 11:48 PM

Geee, I wish i had a rare LWB truck.

You fully underestimate the power of 45 constant degrees and rain EVERY DAY between november and april !!!!!! Ive seen brand new cars develop NW rot in their first year.

Hooter · 01-31-2003, 03:28 AM

The only way I can see it being rare is if the motor doesnt leak oil, now that's rare!

*texparts* · 01-31-2003, 09:30 AM

gosh i am sitting on a gold mind i have about 20 of the rare lwb trucks .LOL

*Randy70C-10* · 01-31-2003, 09:41 AM

But it has the original paint job. (Looks like it still has all of the original sheetmetal too).

71GMC_3/4T · 01-31-2003, 11:30 AM

Randy, I wouldn't say *all* of the original sheet metal. I think some of it has parted ways in the form of rust...

yellowgmc · 01-31-2003, 11:41 AM

it's the rare drag racing version. the rust is actually planned to lighten the vehicle. i have one too!

Bob Chayer · 01-31-2003, 12:25 PM

I just did an inventory of my garage and back yard. Going by this guy's numbers I figure $100,000.00 will take it all. I'll even throw in the garage for free!. Any takers?!?

chaptr2 · 01-31-2003, 12:29 PM

MikeP hit it on the nose. There is a 99 astro van at my work that has been sitting for a couple of weeks and is covered in moss. If you don't drive it in this weather make sure it is covered up. I had a car that sat outside this time of year for one month and grew a patch of mushrooms on the rear floor mat.

**COBALT** · 01-31-2003, 03:13 PM

mikep and chaptr2 are DEAD ON correct. Moisture in this town is a huge problem. I'm forced to keep my truck parked outside, and it drives me crazy. I know it's not helping my rust problem at all.
