Bought another one last night. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

silvertonguedevil · 05-13-2005, 11:01 AM

The other day I was here at work and was looking at pictures of pickups and the guy who does our upholstery work looked over my shoulder and tells me he's got a '71 Short-wide box pickup for sale at his house. A guy traded to him for some upholstery work. So I went to go look at it that night. It fired right up on the first try and the ol' 350 runs like a top. It hardly has any rust at all and the bed floor is almost perfect. It fits right in with the others. Although the wife is telling me that one of 'em has to go

Looks great. Just hide one of the trucks somewhere

Hey Silvertonguedevil; Nice catch, If you're ever interested in selling those mirrors let me know, I've been looking for a pair to replace the ones on my 69- Darned if I can find any (used anyway). Thanks, Lew

Consider 'em yours. What are they worth?

No doubt!

Good score!!
I'm a little closer to you so can hide one of those rides at my place....

**StingRay** · 05-13-2005, 11:53 AM

lpaine I believe I have at least one of those types of mirror bracket sets and a mirror head less glass kicking around. If you need parts you can have it for the cost of shipping.

DW67c10 · 05-13-2005, 11:58 AM

I just trashed a crome pair of those mirrors

Happen to have a chrome bend piece? Its the solid stainless steel curved part in between the mirror head and the tripod bracket.

Americanrider · 05-13-2005, 01:53 PM

Sweet little ride, have any plans for it yet?

silvertonguedevil · 05-13-2005, 02:18 PM

I have a '70 short box frame and bed that I was going to put my '72 cab on but now I think I will put the '72 cab on this and sell my other short box frame and bed.

68w/sbc406 · 05-13-2005, 03:58 PM

those are some creative angles with the camera greg

your right about the wheels having to go but they will look REAL funny on the 71 lwb. so is this situation kinda like the roadster show one???
