Don`t let Boyd get ahold of it.That primadonna loves fresh meat.

Can I ask how much he paid for it? I understand if he doesn't want to say. Just interested to see what kind of $$$ something like that would bring.

Thanks,

Jay, you going to add anything?

Joe67 · 10-04-2005, 03:35 PM

Bah - bolt on a nice 4/6, some tasteful wheels and roll it during the summer

You can put it back the way it came in a day

Beautiful truck Jay!
Jdo you still have that very nice orange/white 4x4?

well guys i am sorry it took so long to put in a post to clear up all of the wonder of what is going to happen to this truck.
the truck was bought in Kittaning Pa. 10 miles from my home,a close friend found it and contacted me about the truck it was a one owner truck until now and it has never seen snow and only rain about 20 times the original owners wife said.The old man was 84 when he died and had only changed two rad hoses,tires,put on a cap and a different set of mirrors. When i got the truck we replaced the seat cover and carpet,i kept the originals they were both sun damaged threw the window of the garage.
there are a few scratches on the truck and the rear bumper has ding in it but besides that pretty much the way it came off of the show room floor.
We are planning on leaving this one in stock original shape, we have already had an offer of 10,000. dollars for it and that person wanted to bag it and put 20's on it,i just can't see that happening to a rare stock truck like that.
On the other hand the other two trucks in the pictures are my 69 black pro street swb pickup and my 72 Cheyenne 4x4 with 17 factory options on it these were taken at our local car show in Freeport.
I gave 6,000.for the truck and would have pd more if i would have had to.

I'm a little dizzy right now and can't tell exactly but is that a lng bed? You stole it for 6 g's man!! I would've given more for a untouched beauty like that, I have modified ones but that's as longhornman said, a time machine!!

**67OLDSTYLE72** · 10-05-2005, 01:07 AM

yeah its a long bed and your right i have had over 300 of these trucks since 1984 and this is the best example of an original truck that i have ever owned.
