1968 Chevy 3/4 Ton 4X4 Steal on Des Moines CL. Not Mine

These always come up when I don't have the extra cash to spend. I think it looks fairly solid in the pics and I wouldn't pass it up at that price.

Guy might be able to spruce it up a little and flip it. Hmmm. Just wrote a check to the plumber to dig up my yard. These deals always come up at a bad time!

Too bad I am not state side, I would have my friend drive me up there (he's from that area) and bring it back. Actually, he would probably buy it out from under me...lol

looks like a pretty solid old truck, I'm sure it wont last long at that price.

I kind doubt it's as solid as you all think. Can't tell from a few pictures,but the main reason I'm skeptical is the "old plow truck" part.

thats right on my way to Grinnell tomorrow, think ill stop and look at it. any 4x4 truck that runs and drives good will bring double that up here no matter what shape the body is, would make a good wood hauler.

I'm sure it is rusty but I was looking at the rocker panels and the cab corners. Not that they weren't replaced at some point. It just looks more solid than what you expect in Iowa.

A buddy of mine is from Farragut. I went down to Sydney for the PRCA rodeo and stopped at The Depot for dinner on the way down. That has been years ago. We drove all over the state that year looking for good rodeo, chasing the cowgirls and drinking lots of beer.

I've been to Texas and have always wanted to go to Frontier days in Cheyenne. Never went anywhere in OK.

So did anyone buy this or even go check it out? I e-mailed the guy but never heard back from him. My guess is it's not a clean as the pics.

I sent him an email a few hours ago. We will see if he replies or calls me back.
