NOT an organ donor.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**specialtyretail** · 12-03-2017, 11:18 AM

This truck floated around my area for sale. It changed hands three times in as many weeks,, each time the price getting lower. I finally could not take it any more, so here it sits. Before everyone starts on me, we are NOT planning on knocking this one in the head. It is pretty complete and was capable of driving on the trailer. Think I am just going to put it off to the side till the first of the year and then spend a little time on it. It would make us a good work truck,,, but we all know how I am.

If I had it I would find a tailgate for it and replace the missing lights then drive it until the cows came home. It looks a lot better than what I started with.

The tail light housings have already been located. The tailgate, well, we all know how that goes....

Looks dang good, floorpans and rockers not too bad, it's a '71 so it already has disks...

Yes, we are pretty pleased with it. I have all the loose odds and ends it needs, so it wont be a big deal.

It looks better than many of the trucks I started with. I'd drive it, for sure.

Yes, it is. I am going to re-wire the coil,, just wrapped around the stud, and tinker on it just a bit. It is all small stuff.

Gonna be looking for all the stuff you have sold in the last couple of months

Shoot Fred. That one could be your next road truck. Even if it is a long bed.
