Thanks Richard

Nice find Rene..you know what they say once you go longbed..

the king was spotted in a longbed once

NEWFISHER · 05-18-2014, 02:04 PM

That's a good looking truck! Nice score.

Big Block · 05-18-2014, 02:56 PM

Nice original. Black plates, Factory black paint, Factory A/C, Overdrive, Soft Ray! It doesn't get much better than that. Sweet ride. Looks great.

dan42 · 05-18-2014, 03:34 PM

I love the red primer patina coming through - mine had that when I bought it as well. Not crazy about the white face on those '68's, but I certainly wouldn't turn that one down because of it. Nice score.

**70cst** · 05-18-2014, 04:02 PM

Great find !!!!

big_al_71 · 05-18-2014, 04:48 PM

Rene strikes again...

C/10 King · 05-18-2014, 07:36 PM

Yeah, actually he had 2 other trucks, a 67' SWB and 69' short stepside.

Well Dan, I think you might have just named the truck!......"White Face"!

It has a nice ring to it!!!!!

BTW James, did you hear I sold the Pumpkin 2 days ago?

original-71 · 06-09-2014, 10:28 AM

nice truck rene, iam sure once you give it the Kings look you will decide to keep it

Say what!!? I'm going to miss the Pumpkin. Hopefully you sold it to someone who will bring it out and we'll still see it. I like the logo idea for the black one. We may have to do some photos of it with my bike. That would be cool...

Looks nice! BTW, what is wrong with the C20? I was just curious because I'm about to go look at one to possibly buy

outlaw 3454 · 06-09-2014, 02:56 PM

Dale, the Pumpkin will now be living right down the road in Livermore, so you'll probably be seeing it at the next Good Guys show in Pleasanton. Dale If I decide to do the logo thing you're very welcome to take all the photos you like with your bike!

I got wind of the pumpkin leaving the patch.

Harley logo would look killer on the patina.

Yeah Bill, I don't have the heart to chop it down. The overdrive blew me away, I had never seen one before on this year of truck.

Thanks Rene, the old bike is getting old but I love it (13 years and almost 100k) I would love having pics like that. Also I didn't say it last time but congrats on the sale a d congrats to the person that talked ya out of the Pumpkin. ...I know you did a little soul searching on that one...

**special-K** · 06-10-2014, 10:38 AM

That's a righteous long bed! You can only do so many new different things to your next short bed,but a long bed is totally different
