well my best friend and his dad are big into the 67-72 chevy trucks. and i have fallen inlove with them over and over again for awhile. while my search for one kept leading me to dead ends i was becoming overly frustrated. when finally my friends dad told me he would sell me a old ochre and white one he had had for a few years but never used. it was stashed away he probably wouldnt see any road action for quite some time. So he said $800 and its mine. i went and looked at it. and when i did i didnt think it was as bad as it is now. but since having cleaned it up. im now shopping for 2 doors a bed and possibly a cab altogether.

here are some pictures. ill have more if anyone wants any.

the grill is intact and not busted at all, and all the trim is there, whether or not its not on the truck.
