Looking for my old truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

TobyArnot · 12-15-2016, 02:41 PM

Hey gang,
Some of you may remember me and my '70 Stepside. Long story short, i was forced to sell it in July 2015. Well, she's gone now and I would love to locate my ride. I sold it to a dealer in Lakeland, Fla. They painted it a semi-flat black. I have an "after" picture. Has anyone here spotted my pride? Could be anywhere.
Thanks up-front.

Do you still have the VIN or the name of the place you sold it from? We've located a few trucks lately just googling the VIN.

TobyArnot · 12-15-2016, 05:21 PM

My ex has all that old paperwork. (long story). I will check with nationwide agent tomorrow. Good idea. Thanks

FRCvette · 12-15-2016, 08:12 PM

Nice looking truck. Don't blame you for wanting it back.
Did you put the tool box in the bed? If so what size is it
where did you get it. Thanks

TobyArnot · 12-16-2016, 07:34 AM

The "toolbox" is a 48" box that is a "Dee Cee" clone from Tractor Supply. I installed a custom modified RCI aluminum (27gal.) fuel cell inside the box. Other notable features include custom LED bullet taillights, a new 350 crate motor, 200r4 O/D, and aftermarket underdash AC, custom dash panel with Camero speedo, SpeedHut Tach, etc.
The truck became a storage issue with my ex. Also dumped her past March. Now I want my truck back ..LOL

TobyArnot · 12-17-2016, 07:16 PM

Found these pics of the "toolbox" on a flash drive!

Mollzyie · 12-19-2016, 08:06 PM

Atleast u got some sort of direction w vin .... I'm pulling for u man ! Hope up find it !

danny69 · 12-19-2016, 08:15 PM

I don't know about in Florida but in Oklahoma you could have a tag agent run the VIN and they should be able to tell you who the present owner is. Good Luck it is a very nice truck.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 12-19-2016, 08:17 PM

It is clearly for sale at that dealership. Maybe they just don't want a "previous owner" to know it is there fearing that you have some claim or something that would muck up their sale of it.
Just go to the lot and look around. If you don't see it, ask if they have any classic trucks and take it from there. Brian

Mollzyie · 12-19-2016, 08:26 PM

Do u have a wad of cash ready for when u find it ?

roboticjunky · 12-19-2016, 08:54 PM

Here's the dealer that might have it. Primo Classics International in Lakeland, FL.

Here's their ad.
http://www.iseecars.com/dealer-95455...d=100223653335

It was listed on eBay about 4 times and the seller stopped the auction.

TobyArnot · 12-20-2016, 10:51 AM

Primo is the dealer that I sold it to. They offer no help to me. Any chance one of you could check them out for info??????
