Guys, I'm going to try to get up there tomorrow if I can. I will take my camera and try to get some closeup shots if they will let me. I'm going to try to talk to the owner and see if he is going to buy back the salvage or if it's up for grabs. I'll post here tomorrow night if I learn anything.

I wish MY truck had A/C as an option...

**raggedjim** · 11-02-2006, 01:33 PM

Sorry guys, It was inside the fence and I couldn't get a look at the seats or tailgate. I know a guy who works there so I might be able to look it over better after work.

Thanks Roger, I've had a family matter come up that makes me not able to go until tomorrow. Where is it coming from Paris on 641? I got the camera ready and will try again tomorrow.

Joe67 · 11-02-2006, 02:51 PM

Damn, it does look nice otherwise from that pic

shifty · 11-02-2006, 02:53 PM

I'll give him $200 for it

**raggedjim** · 11-02-2006, 04:47 PM

Take 641 north. Turn right on Chestnut (Pizza Hut on right). Go 8 blocks and turn right on South 4th (also called 121). Go about 2 blocks and it's on the left hand side of the road.

**Ron 586** · 11-02-2006, 04:53 PM

Thanks Roger. I just hope this don't turn into one of those owner and insurance debates that drag on for months. It won't take long this time of year for the rain to ruin the interior unless it's covered up.

meathead95 · 11-02-2006, 05:38 PM

can you see what shape the front clip is in for me? id like to have it
thanks
keith

**raggedjim** · 11-03-2006, 11:40 AM

Well, when I ran by yesterday the fence was locked and no one was around, must have been out on a call. Maybe today...
The front clip looks good from outside the fence, but the hood or something is tweaked, it sits higher on the passengers side..

Interesting machine.... wasn't expecting to see a smog pump on it.

**Ron 586** · 11-03-2006, 03:58 PM

I went to Murray and had to do a little talking to get access to the truck. It was between two other cars so couldn't get full side shots. Pictures are not in any order and all I can tell you is I'll try to answer any questions that the pictures don't. The truck is not as clean of example as the first picture showed. Just about every body panel on it shows some damage. Some would be an easy fix and I didn't see much in the way of rust. It was interesting that this truck still has the old A.I.R. pump and everything still hooked up and looks like it is intact. It has a small V-8 ? 3 on the tree no p/s or p/b. Hope this helps. You might be able to get a larger view by clicking on my photobucket and enlarge the one you want.

ron
did he give you an idea of what he wanted for it? was the rad support or inner fenders rusted out?

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-03-2006, 06:46 PM

I need a Guage Cluster

**oldgold70c10** · 11-03-2006, 07:01 PM

Amazing, his back window poped out in 1 piece too!!!! Lucky the driver's side didn't get caved in like that passenger's side. Looks pretty scatch free for a farm truck. I'd say get him a new cab, some body work, and new tires and paint and he'll be back in business.

**Ron 586** · 11-03-2006, 07:56 PM

I was not able to talk to the owner. The two guys that were there at the tow yard seem to think that the owner is going to keep it. They said he was having a dispute with the insurance company about the worth of the truck. I think the guys that I talked to were just employees and are more or less guessing or repeating gossip. They first denied me access to the yard telling me to view the truck from outside the fence. I hung around for a while and asked everything I could think of so they may have told me ok just to shut me up. So except for the pictures I really don't know much. Meathead 95 It was better than average on the rust issues. I forgot to get pictures down in the fenders but remember they didn't look bad. Luv don't know what to tell you about the gauge cluster. The number that raggedJim posted will be the best bet to get answers but you will have to talk to the owner or somebody besides the two that I talked to.
