Shane,
Any chance you have seen this truck in the area and know who it is that is trying to sell it? Perhaps a phone number?

This is the first show that I have been to that I haven't taken an extra pic at the for sale sign in the windows. Usually, I always take pics, but nobody ever says they bought the truck or thanks for taking that for me. I guess I'll always do it from now on. Sorry guys!!! I wonder if we can contact the guy that runs the show and maybe he'll know. Though I will say that I never filled anything out with my name on it so I'm going to say that they didn't either. Maybe he knows the owner, though.

Subtle, I am also very close, if i see that truck, I'll let you know.

I dunno if your interested but theres a 64-66 truck swb stepside for sale in my area, and it's in good condition.

wakeboarddrumma, Thanks for keeping an eye out. It looks a lot like the one my best friend had when we turned old enough to drive (back in 1989). Except the roof on his was white.

Wakeboarding eh? What do you know about a Super Air Nautique Team 226? We are working on one that we'll unveil at SEMA with my new company truck, a 2005 GMC 2500HD crew cab.

Nope ... sorry.

wakeboarddrumma · 07-10-2006, 11:09 PM

Subtle,
Damn nice boat. Can I have it when you guys are done with it? :-P

nu2-72 · 07-12-2006, 09:23 AM

Shan and Deb are great people. Looking forward to seeing them again next trip down there.

wakeboarddrumma · 07-15-2006, 08:43 PM

I saw the gold truck the other day off HWY 72. I think they are parking it somewhere to sell it. But I saw it on the right side of the road, heading west. I wish i could've got the number, but i didn't have time. Shane, if you drive out there maybe you've seen it

5150 · 07-16-2006, 12:25 PM

Somebody close go by there and get the number off of it for Dean(subtle71).

LMN8UR · 07-16-2006, 01:07 PM

Nice truck. I hope you aren't blaming the electric fans. I'd replace the bad one and put the setup back on, behind a new 3 or 4 core radiator.

Your radiator was a 2 core and how old? Going down the interstate the fans shouldn't have been on anyway if the radiator was doing it's job right.

Just my 2-cents, Hope your luck changes.

I'm about a hour and half north of New Orleans, or else I would be up for the "Easter Egg hunt" myself. Any info that you guys could offer would be much appreciated!

Thanks for keeping an eye out wakeboarddrumma!

wakeboarddrumma · 07-17-2006, 01:04 AM

No problem subtle. I am not completely sure it was it, but from my look, it looked just like it. I think Shane is a bit closer and can check it out for you, if he would like to. I just can't drive out all that way just to look for a number being that i'm only 16, i was lucky to drive out there the other day.

Shane,
If you do go look, I can tell you it's not past killen, but thats all i can say, i really don't remember where because i didn't think about this truck till i got home.

I would be glad to check it out, but the only information I have is that it is somewhere between Huntsville and Killen .... which is a LOT of highway frontage and a lot of real estate. About 75 miles one way.

If wakeboard could remember & narrow it down closer to where he saw it, then I would be more than happy to check it out.

I need a few details such as:
Where was it sitting? North or South side of highway? Sitting at a residence or a business?

subtle71 · 07-17-2006, 05:50 PM

ttt

wakeboarddrumma · 07-17-2006, 11:14 PM

Shane.
I'll narrow it down a little more.

It seems like it was a white building, maybe a church? I dunno, it was probably right outside of athens, no more than 15 miles. It was on the northside of the highway. So that might narrow it down.

I would guess no further than mile marker 45
