**Tim Christian** · 07-16-2011, 07:29 PM

Well went today and looked at a 1970 CST Fleet shortbed a original 58K truck. They guy bought it from the original owner took it apart and now wants to sell it. I swear this truck hollered at me the whole time I was there SAVE ME, SAVE ME I am saying don't buy it but it keeps calling my name to save it. Now got me thinking you can sell this and buy it !!!! Man I have had this sickness all of my life and cannot shake it !!!!!!

VA72C10 · 07-16-2011, 07:39 PM

I feel your pain! To show you how nice I am....you can pick it up and deliver it to my house and I will keep it so you don't have to look at it

67_C-30 · 07-16-2011, 07:59 PM

**lolife99** · 07-16-2011, 10:37 PM

CST,... is the top of the line truck in '69 and '70.
Sounds like a good one to save.
Got any pics?

**special-K** · 07-17-2011, 06:30 AM

That's odd...I always took you as a guy who bought nice done turn key trucks off Ebay,changed the wheels,and said you built it.

Oh lord,I'm gonna pay for that one! Tim,you are one sick individual. Feels good,huh? You don't have a 69/70 do ya? Well,there ya go!

67_C-30 · 07-17-2011, 11:48 AM

big_al_71 · 07-17-2011, 12:06 PM

I am officially starting my E-Bay funding program. Will see ! I will get pictures when I go back out there. Why one anyone in their right mind want to buy a truck in a blue million pieces???????

Wrenchbender Ret · 07-17-2011, 05:28 PM

I'm like that. I see one that needs me & buy it. That one sounds good but look it over good & think hard about it. I bought one way out in Colorado one time, hauled it back & found it was a piece of junk. All i'm saying is dont buy it from emotions.

**special-K** · 07-17-2011, 10:19 PM

Being in your right mind is very over rated. Take it from someone who has never tried to be. Isn't being all screwed up on these trucks a better way to go???? I think so!!! Mwah hah hah hah

Frkypunk70 · 07-17-2011, 11:10 PM

If I went the way of reason my truck would be in a junk yard. It's the love of restoring and the end result that make it all worth it. I think YOU SIR are more than qualified and understand.

Well it has only took two months!!!! But I did call the guy one last time made him my final offer this evening and he said yes so I am going to get it Monday and YES I will take pictures. Just turned 46 Thursday and thought Happy Birthday to me. It is funny how I could really use a new truck but continue to spend my money on old trucks. Every since I was a youg boy these truck have caught my eye it is a life long love affair. O well stay tuned for Monday I am going to do a build thread but I honestly thinking I am going to go with the Patina look like my old 72 Burb I had. I really wished I would of never sold her. O Well till Monday!!!!

Call me strange, personally I think it's worth investing in our trucks over new.
