WAAHOO A nice free truck, Free!!
Boy did I luck out. I was looking at craig's list, sneeking peaks at work, and found an ad for a free truck. The pics showed it in the weeds and it looked OK, for free. I called the guy and he said if I wanted the truck then he would pull the ad. He said it belonged to his son who was in prision. He was cleaning out the place and his son said to just get rid of it. So it went on craig's list. I have a nice 68 and have been looking for a truck for my son. My boy and I picked it up that night. This truck is in very nice shape. Not very much rust, very little in all the normal spots. The bumpers are just about perfect, windshield is toast and the dash is all pulled apart. I think he was planning on painting the inside. 250, six cyl. Put in a battery and a starter, ran up the oil pressure, and she started right up. It was already full of antifreeze. Even the washer bottle had cleaner in it! Oil was very clean. Only thing I'm not too crazy about is 3/4 ton and long bed. But Free is nice, with title. My boy and I are already starting on his first old chevy. He's behind the wheel.
