"This is a very rare and hard-to-find truck that had a limited production run by Chevrolet. Most of these trucks were produced with a long wide bed. This is the short wide bed, sporty model. Chevrolet produced so few of these that they do not have a record on how many they produced."

Uh yeah, what he said....

lofat · 07-25-2003, 04:35 PM

haha $10,500.00 ??? WTF?

gldevall · 07-25-2003, 04:42 PM

Clean truck, but waaay overpriced!

bigblock73 · 07-25-2003, 04:47 PM

That is the EXACTLY the way Yeller looked when I bought it...except mine was yellow/gold and white...not tan.

I must have a rare truck.

very nice truck, but not worh more than $5-6000

-Jeff

C&C Chevy · 07-25-2003, 04:59 PM

Very nice truck but what makes it a "Super 10"? The spare tire cover?

79BIG10 · 07-25-2003, 05:10 PM

Clean truck for sure but not worth the $10,500 and still not hit reserve.

SCOTI · 07-25-2003, 05:45 PM

I wonder if he'll sell a board member those 'small & dangerous' side view mirrors

.

**swervin ervin** · 07-25-2003, 05:54 PM

Nice truck. I wonder where these guys get some of this info? Do they make it up as they go along or what? He's so full of sh!t, his eyes are brown.

Originals were small and dangerous, so it was necessary to replace them. That's funny as hell.

PHOENIX · 07-25-2003, 06:18 PM

damn clean truck

bagged78 · 07-25-2003, 06:34 PM

Chevrolet produced so few of these that they do not have a record on how many they produced."

That's because it was the most common, so why keep a record...

brad2 · 07-25-2003, 07:24 PM

Now if it were black like N2TRUX's maybe....... It also has a gas door on the bed so it may not be the original little cream puff he claims it is. I can appreciate it being clean but the color doesn't work for me.

I didn't notice this before. It's not original. We've discussed this many times. I think there is a thread still going on about when the gas doors started, 77 or 78. So this tells me the bed is not a 73.

It's a nice truck but he's trying to pawn it off as something it's not.

**N2TRUX** · 07-25-2003, 09:46 PM

I ain't going to say a thing. OK, yes I am. Chris, please stop showing this stuff. That's what got it all started last time. Yeah, he is full of crap, but the truck is clean regardless.

While we are beating him up, I can add that the sticker on the breather isn't OEM, and the fan shroud label doesn't appear correct either....

Prerunner1982 · 07-25-2003, 10:26 PM

56,300 original miles? how much we betting thats a lie as well? ok... who wants to contact this guy and call BS on him, and point out these things??

ElGracho · 07-25-2003, 11:12 PM

While we're at it, that isn't the original left front fender either. 73's have a different washer bottle. It also doesn't have the original style A/C receiver... It is a nice truck though, but that color hasn't grown on me a bit since I first decided I didn't like it.

75stepside · 07-25-2003, 11:33 PM

not to mention the engine block/water neck is painted a lil too red to be original chevrolet orange...

ocbaud · 07-26-2003, 12:23 AM

lets throw him in the river to see if he floats!

boataddict26 · 07-26-2003, 02:16 PM

The only things not original are the side mirrors (originals were small and dangerous, so it was necessary to replace them)

Too funny!!

Nvbowtie · 07-26-2003, 04:18 PM

Well I called BS on him and here is the response I got back:

........ Quote from ad: .......
(The only things not original are the side mirrors (originals were small and dangerous, so it was necessary to replace them), chrome drip trays above the doors, and chrome splash guards. Spinners (with Chevrolet emblem) have been added to the wheels which are not original. )

My e-mail to him:

FYI for your ad:
Might want to add the bed and tailgate band is not original. That bed came out after 77.

-----Reply from Seller of truck:-------

Thanks for your email. However, the owner has checked the bed and all the attaching bolts and finds no evidence this is not original. As stated in the ad, GM made so few of these, they don't even have records of how many. He was also assured when he purchased it that it is all original. -------------------

Hmmmm... he must be a legend in his own mind

boataddict26 · 07-26-2003, 09:32 PM

Some people are REALLY full of

.

**swervin ervin** · 07-26-2003, 09:35 PM

I also sent him an email and got the exact same reply you did. He must have this reply saved and sends it to everyone who says anything.

TIMSPEED · 07-26-2003, 10:43 PM

Hmm..says that the motor is rated at 245hp! WOW! I shoulda kept my original 350!

I'll say that about 90% of that trukc isn't original...prolly the only ORIGINAL thing, is MAAAAYBE the dash.

n2billet · 07-26-2003, 10:51 PM

Hey!!!!!!!!!!! N2TRUX, you know that left over Air Ride stuff you have in your garage? I tell you what, you buy the truck and I'll drop it for you, I'm sure we can find some 20's laying around somewhere.......where have I heard this story before?????

navybear70 · 07-26-2003, 11:25 PM

OK...we've established the fact that the truck isn't all original; which drops the price at least half. (C'mon...at least do your homework!!!

) But the truck is definetely a veeery sweet looking clean truck. I would own it, at the right price. I kinda like the color too. It's just what Chevy woulda used in the seventies, so I'm used to it.:p
