[John H.]

http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/4299683067.html

the ad reads, " Body Clean."

[dmartin1]

5 gallons of dawn soap CLR and lysol will do that justice

I want the front bumper....I'll bet the price is negotiable might get 4x4 for reasonable price

Ya read my mind on that! i wish i didn't have to work this weekend and i could meet you there as well, i'd probably find a part or two i could get myself.

[70's luvr]

With that topper on I'm guessing the bed might still be good.

[tommys72]

At least it has a c.b., extra antifreeze and throwback 1999 license plates

[67ChevyRedneck]

I don't think his price is crazy. It's craigslist. You put 2K on there you're going to get offers from $500-800. If he'll take $1500 for it, it looks like a decent truck.

For an ashtray that's inside of a vehicle that has all it's windows... that is the rustiest one I've ever seen. It looks like it laid in a pile of dirt and leaves for 20 years. Strange.

[Already Gone]

Is it just me because it looks like there is no rocker left under the pass door.

[67ChevyRedneck]

Yeah, rocker is definitely gone. Looks decent otherwise.

[72bowtiestepper]

I had a winch front bumper just like that on my 1976 K-10 back in the 80's.....that was one STRONG bumper !

[jimcover]

Pretty sure there's a wildcat living under passenger door.

[jimcover]

And is that moss I see?

Hey Ellen while we are on the subject of trucks close to you...have you seen this truck around? He's around you and Mark. I think price is high and it's been CL a long time. Just curious of its real condition and worthiness lol

Nate, I wouldn't have a clue on value (not my era)
but the truck does look familiar. Considering your location,
it may be something to look into, price-wise. Respond to the
ad and see what they say.

It does look like they put some $$$ into it. As you probably
know, the innitial cost of a truck is usually the least of your
overall expenses on a project.

If I see it again, I'll let you know.

Probably closed for (extensive) editing and then re-opened.

... whatever keeps the peace and prevents bashing.

I just got the following email today in my private email box, from the lady that owns this truck

What a pitty............:

I'm sorry Ellen, my uncle, Wayne H*****, was living on the streets of Ca. He moved in
with my mom, she has bad dementia, he scrapped the truck for 100 dollars.

* the rest of the email edited out to preserve Vicky's privacy*

It's so sad what some families go through with each other.

[DGulliver]

I like it too, always up for a challenge. I bet if I could get it home on a Friday, I could be tagging it on Monday over at the courthouse. Y'all wouldn't even recognize it! Lol

[swamp rat]

Well, hopefully if it was scrapped it went to a wrecking yard and the bumper/wench will come up for sale somewhere.

I think if he is a threat and basically stole the truck that is in her name then she should be talking to the cops about it to try and get it back. I kinda think its a dysfunctional family.

[ETsC10]

Sounds like, considering the type of person her Uncle probably is, he got a lot of money and told her $100.

I'll post a thread in the stolen forum if this isn't resolved by tomorrow.

[special-K]

$100 dollars my butt!

[ETsC10]

The latest email from Vicky:

"Ellen, thanks, for the info, i will follow up on it, my uncle's name is Wayne Ryan Honeycutt, DOB is Jan. 9th, 1956. He is 58 and from from Yuba city/Mayrsville area, Ca. I ran a background check on him on line last night but got stopped when they asked for money. He is now driving my mother's new SUV and im pretty sure he does not have a driver's license. Bad thing is he has titles to MY polaris wetbike, quad, and to mom's SUV and her new 18 foot camper. I need help stopping him this has gotten way out of control. I would have given you the chevy if it had stopped my uncle from stealing it from my mom. "

She has talked to the police on the matter. What a mess.

[mgkgmc]

Pretty crazy hope this all gets sorted out.

[Ol Blue K20]

This sucks....I guess no vacation in Washington....I'm not buying the bucks story either

[Carl Spangler]

Are there more of these 'backyard finds' popping up now than ever???

cheers
