Re: My New Truck Loading
I hope its as good as it looks. Looked at pics, sent the money then sent the truck 1100 miles to pick it up. I've done this a few times and have never been burnt.

Re: My New Truck Loading
Beautiful truck..I've had many trucks but I am down to just my ochre 72. I've owned for about 10 years now. The ocher color has grown on me,,it is now my favorite color on our year of truck.

Re: My New Truck Loading
I really like the Medium Gold Poly. Congratulations!!! Too bad that Suburban wasn't what it appeared to be. I'm glad you found something.

Re: My New Truck Loading
I've seen that truck sooo many times in the area and loved it! Saw it on CL and the price was good for a truck in that condition that it is in.
Congrats and glad the truck went to a board member!! |

Re: My New Truck Loading
I think its cool that you can find a nice truck far away and have somebody go get it and bring it home for you. Congrats & looking forward to the closeups.

Re: My New Truck Loading
I'm subscribing to this in hopes of far too many pictures posted when it lands home. I see soo many trucks for sale south of our border for soo much less money than they're worth(?) here....glad you scooped one up!

Re: My New Truck Loading
It's a pretty fineline between colors in pictures and computers can lie. I can see how someone could mistake that for Ochre with that overcast sky. I had a Medium God Poly '70 and loved that color. It's on my list of choices for when I redo my '72...along with Ochre.

Re: My New Truck Loading
I used a local carrier that does a lot of RV hauling ( we have a motorhome manufacturer here in Saskatoon ) to the USA and is always looking for back hauls to come home with. If it would have been any other months other than December, January, February I would have flown to Seattle and drove her home, as I love road trips and driving that truck home would be a hoot, but crossing the Mountains in the Winter can be unpredictable and dangerous. When I pencil it all out its probably only costing me 300.00 more to have the truck shipped as opposed to going to get it, but I know it should get here in one piece and I'm safe. I'll post lots of pics when I get it this coming week.

Re: My New Truck Loading
Great score Greg!! I have family (In-laws) in Regina and although they aren't into classic vehicles (yet) they have bought vehicles out of the U.S.
Does your shipper 'ding' you much at the border for the paperwork? I always like meeting the shipper 'stateside' at the border and bringing it over myself....but I'm pretty close to the crossing points so its a lot easier. Nice looking truck!! Coley
