Re: porterville truck
I've heard people say the Fresno area is like Arkansas, the swb's grow on trees out there.

Re: porterville truck
Those mythical Arkansas SWB trucks are a little harder to find than you think.
I looked for well over a year, and finally found a good project truck that came from Mississippi. Dreams are where you find them. |

Re: porterville truck
I am also confused about the easy to find swb...at least that the owners want to sell! There is an absolutely flawless '71 Chevy with a inline 6/turbo 350 that is 100% original that the owner will not sell...but of course he leaves it out in the weather and never touches it. This truck is about a 1/2 mile from me...
Now, longbeds are a different story. Everywhere, and usually in good shape! |

Re: porterville truck
There are still quite a few shorts here in Ark that the crusher hasn't gotten to. As said many not for sale though. They are gold you know....
I am proud to have bought our unmolested 69 short step running for 1500 ten years ago in southern Ark. ![]()

Re: porterville truck
Ah, the land of the shortbed... where cheap, clean short fleets or stepsides (your choice, of course) abound... I wish there was such a place. You would think in California there would be plenty, but there really isn't. I guess that's why the guys that have them want an arm and a leg for 'em.
