she looks so lonely... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Beto · 04-06-2009, 06:54 PM

I'm always out in the country since I work for the power companies. I swear I see a good bit of these trucks just laying around waiting to be restored. I'm gonna see if I can find out who owns this one so maybe I can take it off there hands

tcb-1 · 04-06-2009, 06:58 PM

indeed, that '69 looks a bit lonely there. but this a cool pic nonetheless!

and.... it's probably not for sale. "Been meaning to get her running for a few years". In 20 years it will still be there, sunk up to the bumper. **sigh**

i call the lawn mower

Man... that grill looks pretty straight and is original ta boot. I call dibs!

And which lawnmower is taken the one with a handle or the one with a bucket on it?

big_al_71 · 04-06-2009, 08:16 PM

Man that is a cool find indeed, there is zero chance of me ever finding something like that downhere

danw210 · 04-06-2009, 09:39 PM

Wow, sweet find. I'll bet she looks pretty good under that dust. Get her cheap and make a buck selling her to me, haha.

thirdstreettito · 04-06-2009, 09:49 PM

Cool find. They are 3 lawnmowers,

68C15 · 04-06-2009, 10:32 PM

probably just needs a battery and fresh gas.

69halfton · 04-06-2009, 10:47 PM

wow, i bet some soap and a coat of wax is all that thing would need!

well, the lawnmower with the bucket on it would be my first choice. if nobody already has dibs on it

Dads 68 GMC · 04-06-2009, 10:52 PM

looks like its been there for a long time. probably needs some air in the tires a battery & some gas. Oh & be sure to check the brakes, might need some fluid, GOOD FIND!

71wongbed · 04-07-2009, 02:05 AM

There's a truck in the picture? Oh yeah, there BESIDE the lawn mowers! I see it!

OARNGESI · 04-07-2009, 05:42 AM

poor truck

QKENUF4U · 04-07-2009, 10:27 AM

yep got two of those sitting in my dads barn rotting away...one 3/4t 2wd long bed and one 2wd short bed...both rotted away but still lots of good parts for a restore. of course ive heard the same thing as you all have.....gonna get them running some day........atleast the 67 SS impala is still running but its rotting away to

**Stocker** · 04-07-2009, 10:55 AM

At least it's in a shed instead of rotting away in a field... could be a great find, good luck!

ChevLoRay · 04-07-2009, 10:58 AM

'Round here, the old man would say, "Jes needs a bat-ry".....

lowbucktruck · 04-07-2009, 01:46 PM

Wow, looks like someone just parked her and forgot about her. Just when you thought that the "barn find" was legend.
Heck, splash some gas in the tank and shoot some starting fluid down her carb's throat, she would probably crank right up!

Robert8096 · 04-07-2009, 02:04 PM

Around here that would be their retirement fund. The ones I come across the owner wants big bucks for it or the same old story about fixing her up someday.

haha yes "bat-ry", I just cracked up! I worked at advance auto while I was in high school and loved hearing the old folks say that.

Beto · 04-07-2009, 06:16 PM

glad you guys like it, I want it so bad but have had no luck finding out who owns it, its literally just sitting at a farm with no house nearby, drove by today twice but theres never anyone there

LooseScrews · 04-08-2009, 08:52 AM

Beto, call the county and search records for the property owner. Shouldn't take more than an hour of your time...less if you have a friend who works for the county.

My son has a "chick friend" ("she's not a girlfriend, mom, just a chick who's a friend") who lived next to the HS in Jemison. I went to pick her up to take both to the ball game and there was a '68 GMC in the "garage" very similar to the one you have pictured. I asked her mom about it and she said they were renting the house they were in, but gave me the name of the owner. I have yet to call him about it, but may have to before too long.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-08-2009, 10:43 AM

Keep checkin back im sure someone will show up .... Maybe you could take the plate number to the dmv??
