CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY find!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sameyrasmea72 · 10-07-2006, 10:13 PM

First, so that I don’t get in trouble, I must say that not a single part is for sale. I just had to share this find!

I just bought 5 trucks today. 2-67’s a 68 a70 and a 71 Cheyenne . All have v8’s/trans . This was not a junk yard to speak of , rather it was the personal trucks and equipment of this individual. They have been parked here for a very long time and they all seem to have original paint and very very little rust.

There were a total of 8 67-72’s (I am sure I will end up buying the other three) along with tons of others including 10 or so 47-55’s and at least a dozen extremely nice bodied old internationals.

I am amazed at how little rust they have. All have what seem to be good cabs and more. It is going to be a major chore to get them out of this field. There is about 50 naturally growing trees in my county and 48 of them are in this field.

The goofy battery went out on my camera so I got very few pics today, but I will post what I have. This first one must have been SOME TRUCK in its day. It’s a 67 CST big window. Black on red, buckets (already removed), wood floor,327, auto, air.

sameyrasmea72 · 10-07-2006, 10:18 PM

The one that is covered with trees Is another 68 that I did not buy, I did not see much special on it,but I think I need to look a little closer.

sameyrasmea72 · 10-07-2006, 10:25 PM

How often to you see an uncracked 35 year old dash,red to boot) That one in the bushes is a full four door shortbed international in great shape.

sameyrasmea72 · 10-07-2006, 10:34 PM

Thats all the pics I got before I lost my battery. Of the other 2 i did not get pics of, one is a cherry 67 red lwb fleet and a 71 red/white cheyenne.

jsbgump · 10-07-2006, 10:21 PM

Looks like an awsome find you have there.

Longhorn Man · 10-07-2006, 10:21 PM

corn · 10-07-2006, 10:44 PM

Congrats on that! Better get a lottery ticket with your luck...

lpaine · 10-07-2006, 10:54 PM

Man, you must have been pretty excited when you stumbled on to that find! I guess you have saved a few from an uncertain fate. Way to go!

Aarons72s · 10-07-2006, 11:14 PM

Nice score.

They did save the camaros....guys like me just can't afford them.

Nice score on your trucks man! On the IH's, some of those old trucks look pretty cool, but the resale market ain't much.

chevy_fatman · 10-08-2006, 01:11 AM

Great score!

what are you doing with all of them?

sameyrasmea72 · 10-08-2006, 11:51 AM

I am very excited to get a hold of them. I found them about a year ago and have tried several time to find the owner. Then a couple days ago I went out there and he happened to be there.

NOW for the good news bad news, They were very cheap, but the old man has lost or misplaced all the titles over the years.

That’s a good question

I do need some of the parts like the wood floor parts a hood and a cowl, but without titles there is not much I can do.
It will be awhile till I can get them all out, I might even wait till the first freeze which shouldn’t be too much longer.

ND_guy...yep there a several nice ones out there. Does anybody know if the is a market for Internationals, cause the are a ton of them sitting around there.

On my 67 I bought in Waco last year, I had a title but it was signed years ago by a different purchaser...Needless to say I had heck trying to get the Title transferred. If you have no TX title, you will have to go to a title hearing at your county court. The Titles and Registration office in your county can give you the info/paperwork...It's a real PITA!!

Rod · 10-08-2006, 01:26 AM

Grab em up, if you, can store them, they'll all get some attention sometime I'm sure.

Southedisto · 10-08-2006, 05:01 AM

DAY-YUM! Sweet find, and post some more pics!!

Sweet, not too many of those brush guards still around, looks like u got 2

byrd · 10-08-2006, 08:21 AM

Awesome find!!!!

**N2TRUX** · 10-08-2006, 09:32 AM

That's just wrong! Not only did you score a ton of rust free parts, your keeping them all to yourself...

**clay68c10** · 10-08-2006, 10:33 AM

Very cool score! It's nice to see someone actually succeed in buying a bunch of decent trucks. Usually folks don't want to part with stuff, or you can't ever get ahold of the owners.

ND_guy · 10-08-2006, 10:57 AM

Awesome score I am Jealous

Nice bodied Internationals?........ I had no idea those existed! They are all pretty rusty in NoDak

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-08-2006, 11:28 AM

Sweet score......

CPNEJR · 10-08-2006, 12:22 PM
