Friend's 71 SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**SactoJim** · 06-07-2006, 05:43 PM

Thought I's post some pics of a friend's 71. He recently wised up and moved out of California.....I haven't caught on yet. If anyone sees a truck like this in the Lake of The Ozarks area, welcome a California implant.

This truck can definately be recognized by the tweaked tailgate that he wanted me to fix before he left. He stuck his Harley back there and since the truck rides pretty stiff and the tailgate is a cheap aftermarket, the weight of the bike bouncing up and down finally got the best of the tailgate......separated the skin from the inner structure.
