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!

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".

They had wood beds in 72. The SPID wording is a little different though as seen below,

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.

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.

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.

What color interior do you think it left the factory with? The Sandalwood column and steering wheel seem out of place.

So,look for another truck. This one is nice and so far selling for $10k less than a show truck price. One thing's for sure,neither you nor I could do a truck like that for less.
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.

That SPID looks very original to me. The typing would be bold and fresh looking if it was new. I've seen plenty of SPIDs in ugly trucks that look that nice.

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

Good post. I ask people the reasons to sell as well. Some will tell you some won't. I also like and respect the fact that people want to restore and drive the trucks as original equipment. I am a hot rodder by choice, and tend to lean towards vehicles that are in rough to decent shape. That way I don't feel as guilty taking a fairly rare optioned vehicle and roddin' the heck out of it whhen it's a rusty hulk.

It's cool to go to car shows and see all original OEM rigs next to hot rods. makes you appreciate whence they came from.
