There's a guy on the old rte 3 in Merrimack by the old Zeilers ( I think that's what it was called ) that had a couple of these trucks in his yard, one was gold coloered LWB that was very solid. Have you seen those ?

Gary, I think you mean Zyla's? I used to shop there for penny lures as a kid! I will go by there this weekend and report back what I find.

All the other body parts are easily replaced. I'd only have second thoughts if it was rusted out over the visors. Discount places like RockAuto are a big help in getting affordable parts. It doesn't have to be a show winner to be a great truck.
Nick I was wondering about parts, glad you mention which ones are easy and whats the "deal breaker".

Zyla's , Yes that's it ! I believe the house was just past Zyla's headed north on the same side of the road, he use to have 3-4 67-72's in the yard, but it's been a bit since I've been over that way.

LMK what you find !
