Who wants to help me find a new truck?
I'm taking a trip from Pittsburg, KS to Longview TX next weekend with a car trailer. I'm trying to locate a solid and running 63-72 truck to pick up along the way.
Requirements: $2500 or less, Long or Short Fleet side, Orginal paint, auto or 4 speed(no 3 on the tree's) A/C would be a huge plus, but not a requirement. Non running A/C and automatic trucks will be considered. I know the odds are against me. Lets see what you guys can come up with. I'm searching as well and will post up my finds.

Why not map out a route and check CL for the various cities near said route?

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
That's what I'm doing, but I'm sure there are things not on craigslist that are for sale along the way and multiple people looking is going to be better then just me.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
I have a 69 CST,LWB, 350/350, A/C almost original truck. The rear has been changed to 5 lug. The rockers and cab corners are solid and it is a running and driving truck. I am 45 minutes from Longview down I20. The truck has one repaint a long time ago in original factory colors. The rockers and cab corners are solid as well as the floor. It is a little higher priced at $3500 but well worth the money.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
well its a bit out of the way, but if you wanted, you could come out here to utah. there is quite a few trucks for sale.
http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=13 I found a couple that meet your criteria on there. I just figured for the right truck it would be worth any drive. so there ya go

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
Here are some more pics in case you sell some of the parts you have for sale and change your mind. I am really close to Longview. It has a factory breather on it now with fresh powder coat and new carpet since the pics. The dash is uncut and I have the original radio but an old school Kenwood is currently installed. The tires have plenty of life in them as well. I will throw in a pair of five lug rallys to match the ones on the rear.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
A/C does not work but I do have a good compressor for it. The rear was changed to a 71-72 and the front still has drums.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
It might cost you less money in the long run to fly out to cali or arizona, spend $3000 and drive one back. You can get some sweet trucks out here for that kind of money.
If you want to toss some of that money towards coming north, here are some less expensive ones. http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/2548785978.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2526283985.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/2549123740.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/2548866907.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/2540863466.html http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/2536736698.html Last edited by Indyuke; 08-16-2011 at 03:18 PM.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
My vote would be that blue '64, but I've had an itch for that body style lately.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
Brent, If I were you, I would beg, borrow, or steal another $250 and offer $2750 on that 69 CST. That looks like a very nice truck.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
I love everything but the rust in the rockers and the cut dash.

Re: Who wants to help me find a new truck?
I'm with you. But all those options within my price point. Cruise, a/c, bigblock, th400. Plus it runs/drives. It's rough, but I've always wanted a factory bb truck.
