I'm usually not a 67-68 fan but this truck caught my attention it is pretty solid except for the driver side rocker. I may put it on a 3/4 ton 4x4 frame. It's been sitting for a few years.It had a slide in camper but the p/o took it out and trashed the bumper. The original 327 has a blown head gasket or is cracked by what the p/o said. Enjoy!

Bus Ted Knuckle · 01-16-2009, 12:14 AM

niiiiice!

Down south truckin · 01-16-2009, 12:21 AM

more I think the speedo says 120,000 or so

Down south truckin · 01-16-2009, 12:23 AM

327 motor and a 400 trans

Down south truckin · 01-16-2009, 12:24 AM

It's got plenty of "patina" but is pretty much dent free and the price was right!

67CHIP72 · 01-16-2009, 12:26 AM

Now that gas tank relocation is one for the books. Cool looking truck. I love that color for that year.

Down south truckin · 01-16-2009, 12:33 AM

check out how straight the gate is.It has A nice glove box door as well! The amazing thing is my uncle got it for scrap metal price just to get it out of the peoples yard

67CHIP72 · 01-16-2009, 12:35 AM

That gate is amazing! How far away from home was it?

Down south truckin · 01-16-2009, 12:41 AM

It was about 7-8 miles from the house but I've never seen it before, I'd say it's been sitting for a long time.

QKENUF4U · 01-16-2009, 12:44 AM

man no matter how nice my 91 k1500 is these trucks make me so much happier (sadder now since i dont have one anymore) they are just such cool trucks...

nicolas72gmc · 01-16-2009, 08:31 AM

I love it. That makes me want to go out driving around on some of the back roads around my house and see what I could find. I live in a little town of 900, and there are 4 trucks in the same family as ours cruising around. Great find and congrats!!

**special-K** · 01-16-2009, 08:37 AM

Nice find.The best part is it won`t be sold back to us as a Chinese product.That was a well optioned truck and it sure survived.Seriously,that may buff out!

72BlckButy · 01-16-2009, 09:11 AM

What a nice score! And that gate.... man that's pretty.

**88JRFAN** · 01-16-2009, 01:15 PM

Nice looking truck. A good wash job and the truck would look good. Any chance you take a pic of the mounting bracket for the a/c compressor? I have the same unit for my truck, just don't have the bracket's. And i would like to see what they look like. Did anybody notice the dual mirrors on the driver side door? Thanks, Daren

1LoC10 · 01-16-2009, 01:19 PM

Looks like a good one.... Is that a 66 shortie in the background?

the 71 I had...well couldnt figure out which of the three tanks worked. so I filled up the raditor over flow tank and hooked it up to the fuel pump and drove it home. I didnt live very far

72armyswbtruck · 01-16-2009, 08:23 PM

I love that gas can, gonna try and get her fired up?
Not to difficult you know.

71 3/4 ton · 01-16-2009, 08:49 PM

lots of potential

67ChevyRedneck · 01-16-2009, 08:54 PM

Nice horn button

Down south truckin · 01-17-2009, 12:41 AM

Thanks guys for the compliments I'll give it a good scrubbing and see if it will polish out and may try to fire it up just to see whats wrong with the motor. I'll get some pics of the ac bracket when I drag it home,it may be a couple weeks I know it's safe where it is.

Yes It came from the same place It's a 6cylinder 3 speed it's straight but has some rust in the normal places. I did'nt ask but I'm sure it could be bought for the low-low, if I don't trade for it in the next few days I'll find out how much he wants for it.I think it's a 65 but I'm no expert. Thanks Mike
