Old Navy Trucks
I remember a while back when the Old Navy trucks were being sold. They guy that redid them for the stores is actually from near my area.
By a show of hands and pictures, who all got there hands on one????? Ive been seeing more and more pictures pop up on this site of some of these trucks. Don't be shy!

Re: Old Navy Trucks
I went and looked at a few when I was looking for one and they were all VERY hacked up underneath. LOTS of body filler also. I bet there are a few good ones out there though.

Re: Old Navy Trucks
I bought one!! It was one of the many mistakes Ive made in my life. At least it had a shiny new grill and bumpers that I could use.
There's a lot of us on here that have them http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...highlight=navy

Re: Old Navy Trucks
The one at my local store looked good on the outside, but was pretty rough. I don't think it even had windows

Re: Old Navy Trucks
I remember the one at our mall had the front and rear suspension removed with the hubs welded to some plate welded to the frame. The mall must have objected to the gear oil or maybe the fire marshal did not like it. Don't know what was up with the front suspension, maybe the truck didn't have one and they inprovised??

Re: Old Navy Trucks
One thing ya gotta understand,,,any vehicle that belongs to the military is going to get the crap kicked out of it and a lot of the abuse is done with the intention of breaking something. You are looking at a lot of frustration being taken out on those old trucks.-KB
