1968 1/2 long bed
look what i pulled out of the forest near my house, orginal owner , 81k org. miles. sorry about the picture , i will post better ones when i get home. it's a straight 6 ,3 on the tree, radio delete , solid no rust truck . it was owned by an appilance company here in Auburn, ca . back in the early seventies it still has all of their faded logos on the sides of the truck . more pictures to follow.

Re: 1968 1/2 long bed
Great find! If that was in the midwest it would be a pile of rust.

Re: 1968 1/2 long bed
here are some better pictures of the truck before i started to clean it up. i might part it out or sell it whole i'm not sure what i want to do with it yet . i just couldn't leave it out in the woods anylonger. i'm surprised no one used it for target practice...

Re: 1968 1/2 long bed
I hope you try to sell it in one piece. That old girl deserves another shot at life.
