Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
The market apparently respects quality. It's been a while since I've seen one of these in the 20's.

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
I know that everyone wants to know why I am selling this once in a lifetime truck. I am 64 and have some health issues. I have sold my boat, my harley, my motor home as well as some other toys. I am saving the Best for last. It is time for Old Betsy to find a new home. I hope you enjoy her as much as I have.
Geeze that is sad. I hope he gets well and buys another one! What a clean truck!

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
Super nice! I noticed though that Vin plate rivets are not rosettes. I personally seek lwb's and avoid swb's.

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
If I lived in a world where I had the money to just go buy a new truck out right I would buy it, insure the crap out of it, and drive it just as if it came off the lot in 72. Beautiful truck... way to nice to not be driven.

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
It's a sweet truck, and I'm glad there are cats that would wanna pay show car prices for a truck.
I sure as heck don't wanna. I'd rather buy a hulk and rod the snot out of it. Oh yeah... the sob story of poor health is just that. A story... I tend to not buy into that kind of stuff. Anybody can put on an auction that they are in "failing health". Gary

It's beautiful... but what could you do with it, besides put it under a glass case and look at it?

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
They had wood beds in 72. The SPID wording is a little different though as seen below,

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
That i one of the cleanest original restos I have ever seen. Only off things I see are the repop gauge bezel and the PPG glass. Wasn't original glass LOF?

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
I noticed the rivets too. The vin was probably removed for paint.
Another thing that I noticed is the ad lists a CD player, but there isn't a picture of it. I assume the dash is cut, which in this trucks case would be kinda sad. Oh well. |

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
Could be hidden audio or some other changer located somewhere other than the dash. As much effort was put into keeping that truck original I can't imagine the dash it cut.

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB

Re: Check out the $20K+ Stock LWB
Super nice truck!!! He went so original, I wonder why he changed to wood floor and I think it was originally ochre with a white top only.

People do actually run into bad circumstances that force them to sell the things they love. Personally,I "always" ask "why" someone is selling a vehicle. I ask enough questions to feel out whether it's a story or true. Quote:
This is one truly fine example of the trucks we all love that was restored very nicely. I've seen it more than once in person. Not many people are purists when it comes to adding more than what a truck left the factory with. We see people all the time "enhance" an already nice truck to suit their own taste. Few can resist redoing a wood bed floor without finishing the wood clear of paint. Isn't that why we see members paying big bucks for tach dashes,bucket seats,and tilt columns on the parts board? Not many are replacing original parts that were robbed. I had an original surviving '71 Cheyenne in the same color,but a saddle interior,and I added woodgrain Super parts because they made it look better. I don't see where the truck is claimed to be 100% correct
