As most of you know I sold Ole Pinky a couple months ago and wasn't sure what i was gonna do. I decided I wanted another truck and had a few criteria I wasn't gonna deviate from looking for my next truck. I wanted a turn key truck with factory A/C that worked and I wanted it as original as possible and of course rust free. After couple months of looking ( which isn't very long) I found my truck last week and after 3 nights of phone calls I made the deal Wednesday night and sent deposit. The truck is 850 miles away and a friend is going to drive me in his car to go get it next week and I'm gonna drive her home.

Purrtty! That is going to be fun driving her back home! Be safe and enjoy!

BlackedOut67shorty · 10-25-2014, 02:47 PM

That is really nice looking. And with with working ac too

Lee H · 10-25-2014, 02:50 PM

That's a nice looking truck.

Stanley0910 · 10-25-2014, 02:53 PM

That is a great find and really not too long of search. Drive safe.

SS Tim · 10-25-2014, 04:14 PM

Great looking Highlander for sure and the Custom Two-Tone really adds to it. :-)
Having a chase/gopher car should make the trip home an enjoyable adventure. Don't forget the pictures along the way.

wreckedchevy · 10-25-2014, 04:33 PM

nice find!

re1 · 10-25-2014, 05:07 PM

Looks like a nice Highlander !!
You don't see that color combo everyday,
but then your probably used to people saying that.

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-25-2014, 05:20 PM

Love it....congrats.

In The Ten Ring · 10-25-2014, 05:28 PM

Factory AC, long wheel base, plaid bench seat, what's not to like?

**72 Super** · 10-25-2014, 05:36 PM

Sweet truck and enjoy that trip!

**Joesjunk** · 10-25-2014, 08:01 PM

Very nice! I really like the two tone green. Have a fun and safe trip

Yes I'd like to send pics but when sent from my IPad they always come out sideways on the thread. Anyone know how to cure that?

**Already Gone** · 10-25-2014, 08:10 PM

Thanks for all the positive responses. At my age not much gets me excited anymore, you know-been there, done that - type of thing, but getting this truck has me revved. I have always wanted to go to truck and car meets that are far away, like the C10 Club in Cali every fall and now I have the truck to do a 1500 mile trip.

Vintage Windmills · 10-25-2014, 08:16 PM

Neat colored Highlander! Have a fun and safe trip!

Tropical Snowstorm · 10-25-2014, 10:35 PM

Perfect color combo and great option sheet! Love it!

CG · 10-25-2014, 11:20 PM

Thank goodness the AC works, I hear winters in Saskatoon can be sweltering

Good job finding a rig, especially so close to you. I know you are pretty particular about your rigs. I hope its everything you want it to be.

I know that truck, it lives 2 blocks from me. Kyle is a great guy, a fellow 67-72 fan. Let me know if you need anything.

Wow, is that a coincidence. I'll be there next Saturday morning if you want to stop an say hi. Yes, Kyle has been very honest and open in our dealings. So does the truck look as good in the flesh as it does in the pics ?

I have only seen it while driving by his house or when he was driving it. It looked nice from there though! I can certainly look it over if you want.
I can stop by Saturday morning, as you get plans finalized let me know. If you need it taken somewhere to make sure it's ready for the trip I know a great shop and can help get it there if needed.

Thanks for the offer its very much appreciated. Getting it checked would be great as a fresh oil change etc. would be great before an 850 mile trip. Can you PM me your phone number and let me know hen is good time to call you so we can talk about it.

Coley · 10-26-2014, 11:15 AM

....quick bump and a great truck G.!
That is a really great find....its harder and harder to find original, straight trucks in unmolested condition these days.
They always hold their value better over time than the rebuilds or mods....so good pick and good investment!!
All Good
