Re: Lookie what I found ..
I agree that it will be fine, I stop and ask about old stuff quite often. Most of the time its either in the country (where people are fond of guns) or in the 'hood (where thugs are fond of guns) LOL! I've never had a problem. The key to survival is 1) Do Not go beyond the front door without asking; 2) Be polite, introduce yourself, and state your intentions up front; 3) Be willing to walk away without a big discussion if they don't seem comfortable with you looking around.

Re: Lookie what I found ..
We need a special 67-72 satellite in orbit so we can locate better pictures. Either that or you can just post them when you look at it...

Re: Lookie what I found ..
I too am very interested in hearing how this plays out! No problem up here in Can a duh....I used to do that all the time.....bit different story, but I got my 71 Cheyenne LWB by the owner offering it to me! I had apparently seen it one time, and told the old fella, "hey if you are ever interested in selling your truck, let me know", and lo and behold about 6 months later (and to be completely honest, I had totally forgotten about it) he rolls in to where I worked, asked me if I remember offering to by his truck. I said sure I did, asked what he wanted, and he said, well I think I need $1500.00....I couldn't write the cheque fast enough! That was 25 years ago, and I still have it!

Re: Lookie what I found ..
OK fellas I stopped..
Original hugger orange truck, parchment interior. Bench, tilt, no tach, it is a factory SWB 400 BB Cheyenne. Super nice guy and as it turns out he is a forum member! I looked at the truck but I didn't feel right taking pictures of it. His grandfather bought it new. He grew up in the truck, drove it in highschool and knows the story of the truck thru and thru.. the hubcaps were laying in the bed. Metal floor, 4:11 posi. I left my name and number more to make a friend than anything.. he's going to restore it so I'm serious man I'll help anyway I can. Cool guy.. He's going to post up some pictures of it for us and tell us more about the truck. He said he remembered the truck when it was new. Incredible story. My knees were weak man.. that truck is awesome but its not for sale. No way. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Lookie what I found ..
Well, I finally made it onto here & hope I can fill in some of the mystery on my old truck.
As CCRAT69 said, it"s a 71 Cheyenne SWB 400 BB, TH400, 4.11 Posi rearend Factory Air, Parchment interior, tilt wheel, no Tach & an old school hydro trailer brake controller mounted on the steering column. My Grandad ordered this truck with the HD springs all the way around so he could pull the camper & boat back & forth to the river. He always had a work provided car for daily use so the 1st 20 years of the trucks life it sat on the carport thru the week & out at Highway 58 campground every weekend. Some time around my 12th birthday (mid 1980's) I asked grandad if I could have his truck one day. He never gave me a full response to that question. When I turned 15 he bought me a 67 LWB stepside beater truck & said it was the closest he could give me to his at that time. I drove that old beater 67 thru most of high school & every now & then grandad would let me drive Ol' Orange if i had somewhere important to go. Through out the years, any parts needed for grandads truck were run thru me. I bought him chrome valve covers, 8" Rallys & deep rings & a big K&N filter among countless other things. Grandad continued to drive it after he retired in 94. but by then he had started referring to it as "My" truck. When he passed away unexpectedly in 98 the 1st thing my gramma did when we left the hospital was called me into the back room & handed me the title to Grandads Ol' Orange 71. She said "It's always been yours, now go make it official before anybody objects". By the funeral, i had it spit shined & followed the hearse to the gravesite even ahead of the family car. My Gramma couldnt ride in it, just wanted to hear the exhaust ring in front of her. (whew, that took a bit to type. damn allergies) Even though I had a nice Jeep by that time, I found myself driving the old truck at least a few days a week for years after that. In 2006 my truck needed quite a bit of work. Life had taken over & with way too may things on my plate I decided to drive it to the family farm & backed it into a stall in the barn until i had a chance to work on it. That pretty much brings us to the present. I'm in a much better place in life & bought my family homestead including the old barn my truck had been waiting in for the past 7 years. My plan is to have it running over the winter & then get started on an actual restoration. I'm not sure how long that will take because once i get it running I'm sure I'm not going to want to take it back apart anytime soon. On to the pics! 7 years of dust |

![]() That is such a great story, I have a treasured Winchester that my grandfather let me borrow once when he was around 80. When I asked him when he needed it back, he replied "I'll let you know". His way of giving it to me. Take care of that truck.
