Throw some gas and a battery in the thing and driver out!!!

Brad · 01-07-2006, 07:53 PM

I hope someone can save this! I wish I could!

cowboy33713 · 01-07-2006, 08:12 PM

Howdy;
DARN! LOTS of good parts, if not the whole truck. Just in the engine compartment and interior pics, stuff that would be shippable and I'd buy would be the exhaust manifolds, alternator brackets, thermostat housing,throttle rod, and that dash- gauges! always good to have replacements.
PM me if any of this is possible. Thanks!

Man that thikng has a ton of stuff I could use.Front bumper,trans,bed,maybe tailgate,grille,windshield,even the dashpad is in better shape than mine.

Ya better yank that bad boy outta there,looks like it might even run,or come close.Shoot the brackets and exhaus would be worth pulling it out to me.

Green Machine · 01-07-2006, 10:20 PM

Thats a prize for sure, I've driven much worse than that. Get her out and clean it up, looks great to me !!!!

Novaguy73 · 01-07-2006, 10:38 PM

Yeah what the heck ya know, pull it out,clean it up, get it started and sell it for 700 bucks!! It looks like it would be a good daily driver.

Russell · 01-07-2006, 11:19 PM

If someone offered me a free 67-72 GMC, I'd have been over there yesterday with my buick century doing my best to yard it out!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-07-2006, 11:29 PM

4 Hours Is A Little Far For Me....

Me too. Half the fun is trying to get it out.

71-longbed · 01-08-2006, 08:32 AM

Frizzle Fry ..... You PM box is full ... that email address you gave me didnt work ... maybe it was misspelled

**truckdude239** · 01-08-2006, 09:08 AM

shoot if i had the time i'd come get it anything free heck yeah but its a 41 hour drive to there lol

bojoe · 01-08-2006, 10:30 AM

If I was closer I would be doing whatever it took to get it out. Looks too good to leave that is for sure. If you don't get it out of there you will wish someday you did.

Cleared... I'll check the addy. He sent a farewell email at work with it.

ckhd · 01-08-2006, 01:03 PM

If I lived near Oregon, I'd be there already hacking it loose and taking it home!

but that's just me...

**Stocker** · 01-08-2006, 01:12 PM

Well I sure hope you can save the old beast -- I used to live near Mac and had relatives there for decades -- if I was still there, I'd help you get 'er out of there -- definitely looks worth saving IMO.

lets_roll · 01-08-2006, 01:35 PM

someone once said "if it casts a shadow it's worth restoring". Actually it looks better than some I have had.

stllookn · 01-08-2006, 01:43 PM

It smells like an Oregon/Vancouver '67-'72 Board Member work party to me! One good 4x4, a chain saw and bunch of guys with machetes could make short work of it. Oooops...forgot the big thermos of Jack and Starbucks...LOL!

Americanrider · 01-08-2006, 02:10 PM

Save that deluxe light switch for me Mike! I'll loan you my both my Homelight & Stihl w/ 20" bars as a backup. I have 6 trucks and 2 trailers here now and no room to park anymore.
