swb (shortened) highlander on ebay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**jocko** · 09-12-2013, 02:38 AM

Not mine - sweet, somewhat restored, shortened truck (or a cab swap, or a frame swap, not sure - but SPID calls out a 127" wb, for what it's worth). Personally, I wish he'd kept it stock (i.e. restored it as the lwb highlander it was originally). It's not every day that you see a white/ochre deluxe two-tone highlander with an avocado plaid seat

Still a real nice little truck (with a few personal changes I might make if I could afford it).

I just sit back and wait to see what you come up with...Thanks!! Now,if I could just remember where I buried that bucket fill of cash. Yard's lookin' pretty rough these days and 'bout wore out the ole shovel

Tim, I look at ebay trucks cause I don't know many other places to look. Do you have any websites you'd be willing to share (trucks for sale) ?? Thanks Larry

Well that's just it...I ain't lookin'

. But I know www.searchtempest.com is a site where you put in your "search",then have a choice of radius miles,and it will show anything that's listed on any online classified

Hoover, your local craigslist website will have quite a few trucks i'm sure.

**jocko** · 09-12-2013, 01:26 PM

eBay good for reference, but usually too over-priced (but not always... Like my 66, ugh). The sites that consolidate the national Craigslist listings are very helpful. Don't have link handy in my phone, but someone might be able to post one.

autotempest.com I believe is the one that will consolidate them.

I asked the following of the seller:

I noticed that the spid label lists the Wb as 127" (lwb), but it is obviously now 115 (SWB). Can you provide details? Was the original frame and bed cut or were original 115" swb components substituted?

wideside can you tell the original bed was cut as that bed has the middle stake pocket. short beds only have a front and back stake pocket.

It's a nice truck, but I feel strongly that the ad should tell people it is a cut down truck.

I would buy a cut down truck, but I would certainly want to do it knowing it was cut down.

Beautiful truck! Looks like he did a great job building that one. Hope he gets every penny he is asking for.

Why does everyone spend the time shortening long beds and leave 6 stake pockets? Drives me nuts. But agreed very nice truck
