Has a 350, 4 on the floor. Was originally 6 cyl 3 OTT. Truck has over 300,000 miles on it, motor has about 75,000 on it the guy said. Hes owned it 22 years. Hasnt been on the road for 7 months due to tranny linkage being messed up. I asked if it's for sale (no sign on it). He saud no...few mins later he said, "youre not gonna part it out are ya". no I said."youre not gonna make it drag on the road are ya". No I said, just wanna drive it. Come back tomorrow then and we can talk about a price.......

Love it! Lucky you!

**special-K** · 03-26-2014, 11:14 PM

Nice find. Cool li'l stepper. Do you plan to part it out or make it drag on the road?

Aussie Ol' Blue · 03-27-2014, 12:30 AM

What a grouse ol' truck. Hope it works out for you.

70Custom10Nut · 03-27-2014, 04:17 AM

And it's got the perfect paint job already.

19673ontree · 03-27-2014, 04:20 AM

Man I love it ! That truck has all kinds of potential !

In The Ten Ring · 03-27-2014, 06:30 AM

Probably in better shape than my '72 stepside! Mine has lots of bondo and still needs cab corners! (I can see the pavement on the driver's side). That looks to be all surface rust.

It does look a little beat up....keep us posted! Good luck getting her!

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 08:00 AM

Its a little beat up...I dunno what the the drivers side, but the fender, door and the rocker are pretty much trash. Its a cool little truck though.

CC69Rat · 03-27-2014, 08:04 AM

Cool truck! I'd try to buy it and save it. A good bath would help it a bunch. Doors and rockers are easy.

By the way - THANK YOU for your service to our country.

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 08:11 AM

Thanks Chad!

Ill see what he says today, he did say yesterday that hes attached to the truck. I guess having it so long and whatnot. Hopefully he dosent give me a crazy price

**special-K** · 03-27-2014, 09:03 AM

I looked at this one that was on Craigslist last summer like that just to crash around in (with 8" steelies and my Muncie 4spd...and seat). It's on a country road near me and I've been aware of it for many years. Always looked for it when driving that road. The guy had it at $3k which was ridiculous. I looked anyway because it was close and I tactfully gave him my way lower offer while letting him know I hoped he could get his 3k (but if no luck I'd be there with cash right away). Also,his house needs a ton of work,I think he's pretty poor,and I offered a to give a good trade on work for his house (Vinyl siding. Don't mind working and I'd only have the material cost in it,if it was stuck at $3k). Anyway,I guess someone (foolish) gave him the 3k cuz it was gone a week later. Oh well,I guess there are those who don't know the proper value of these trucks out there.

I hope his "I'm attached to it" price isn't as crazy. That one is much nicer. This one had rust out everywhere,except header panel/gutter

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 09:14 AM

That green one is more complete though. Steering wheel and and wheel covers, maybe thatd where the price came from haha...it doesnt look bad at all though

alsriv2 · 03-27-2014, 09:20 AM

I really like the '67 green one, but either would do for me.

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 09:26 AM

The more I look at the 68 I want it. A clr bath, some good wheel covers, a decent steering wheel. I'd drive it like that for a while.

Maybe if I end up not picking it up a local guy here will

**special-K** · 03-27-2014, 09:27 AM

I really wanted it. Waited over 25 years to see it for sale. But he was stuck on $3,000 firm when I looked at it. I could get a truck 5x nicer for 2x as much. It needed a floor,lowe back of cab/rear support area looked really bad,kick panels,cowl plenum,doors,and most everything else. Although I was only going to fix what was needed to drive,mainly the floor

SCHRUMGMC · 03-27-2014, 09:53 AM

Awesome truck, I can respect someone being attached to the Truck..As I am with my '59

oldno7 · 03-27-2014, 10:23 AM

When you go back i think you should tell the old fella you would be willing to bring it by from time to time that will prob put him at ease. hope you get it

tony58 · 03-27-2014, 10:42 AM

Being a big window ups the value a bit. Patina? That's way beyond patina. What do you think it's worth as is?

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 12:17 PM

Im not sure what its worth just yet, just a few pics and a little conversation. Didnt get to look it over real well yet

19673ontree · 03-27-2014, 01:40 PM

I think the big back glass takes away from a 67s value but it would not stop me from getting it ! I really hope you can get it id say $1200 or so ! I m pulling for ya we're all in this together

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 03:43 PM

Hopefully I can get it for less. My 72 super is in way better shape and I got it for 1500.00

Old Truck Man · 03-27-2014, 03:56 PM

I one of those guys that's hard to purchase from. Lowball me and ill send you packing. Bring Cash, and be respectful. You have studied on it. make him a decent offer for the biggest amount your willing to pay. Don't go over that price and don't lowball him. If he declines. Just state that is all you can pay. Let him know the offer is good for only a short time because your looking at others. Ive bought a lot of vehicles that others thought couldn't be bought.

tommys72 · 03-27-2014, 04:24 PM

Yea ive dealt with a few sellers like that. No problem. I bought my 2005 spencer bowman custom chopper from a seller like that.
