Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot

This article show the differences between 67-72 GM Trucks such as...the Grilles, Fender Markers & Emblems, Rear Windows, Taillight Moldings, Mirrors, Door Panls, Bucket Seats, etc. I don't ever remember when I purchased these. Great info and pictures.

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
eBay feedback left for all the latest. Thanks
And I'm pretty sure I left forum reps for everyone. Check, and if I forgot someone, please let me know. Everyone deserves a bunch of reps for this, wish I could give more than one. Everyone concerned should take that list and give each other reps.

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
Sorry, fixed some links I screwed up in my last post, but this would be a good way to get nation/world wide attention for the donations. Jalopnik is a major car new/blog site, but with more unconventional, cooky, weird content, but excellent writers and car guys like us. Mention commenter TexanIdiot25 sent you so it doesn't seem so out-of-the-blue.

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
the latest from Dawn's daughters:
From: Tiffany Shultz (shultz.tiffany@yahoo.com) Add contact Add contact Sent: Mon 9/01/08 9:59 AM Reply-to: shultz.tiffany@yahoo.com To: Bill Lyle (zippydodog@msn.com) Dear Friends, None of us have been abel to spend much time on the computer ever since my mom found out she was gettin a visit from some of yall guys and when we saw your note just now, we were not ready for it but I will try to get through it. Beckys shaking to much so I will try. First we want yall to know there are no words to explain how we feel. Its more then grateful. more then thankful and we are all so blessed! Yall are our HEROES!! In this day and time, people are to busy to help each other . Some just dont care, others care but they think theres nothing they could possibly offer, when all that might be needed is a shoulder to cry on or someone who will listen. And then there are people like all of you who have hearts so big that you go out of your way to help a total stranger for no other reason than you care! Our dad would be honored to be your friend. We thought yall might want to know a little about our parents. One day when she was 15, mom was standing in front of a store with some friends talking when a handsome guy pulled up in an old chevy pick-up truck. When he walked by them, one of the guys said, Hey thats a nice truck. What year is it? Before the guy could answer, my mom spoke up and said its a 1967. You can tell by the little window. The guy in the truck was impressed and said Will you marry me and as mom says, the rest was history. They had thier fusses and all just like everyone else, but mostly, they kidded each other and flirted with each other like they had just been married. We were talkin about our dad lately and I asked her what was her secret. She said, I was with your dad for 27 yrs and in all that time, I NEVER hurt his feelings. I'm still ponderin that one. Since we lost our dad, We have watched the weight on her shoulders get heavier and heavier. People have taken advantige of her, they have broken promises theyve made when theyve seen something that needs to be done even tho she never asked them in the first place. Theyve borrowed my dads tools and equipment and never brought it back and she had to buy back what she could find at the pawn shops. We have one neighbor that helps whenever he can but he has 4 kids and she wont ask him unless she has to. When mom found out she was getting the visits this weekend, she was so nervous. She begged us to help her hide as much of the things as we could that were in bad shape around the yard & trailers. She literally worked non-stop. Becky said she could tell she was holding her breath.. She got us together that night and she said she might have misunderstood but that he said yall were planning on giving her some help and maybe a get together to sell her things. I have to tell you that she was more emotional than weve seen her in a while. She wasnt mad but shes never had anything close to this happen to her before and honestly we are worried about what her reacton will be if she sees what yall have said about her. We dont know what to do. We know she will apreciate everything so so so much but we should probly talk to her docter first. Thats how worried we are about her reaction to findin out what she knows so far. Please tell us how to tell her and show her the 67-72 site. We want to thank yall with all our hearts again. Thanks to yall we know our mom is gonna make it. SINCERLY, Tiffany & Becky From: Tiffany Shultz (shultz.tiffany@yahoo.com) Add contact Add contact Sent: Mon 9/01/08 10:11 AM Reply-to: shultz.tiffany@yahoo.com To: bill (zippydodog@msn.com) Hey Bill: We wrote to yall last nite but the didnt look like it got sent so we are sorry if we keep sendin things over and over. Mom got a offer from a guy that if she will clear off a lot he bought off the internet she can have some cement blocks that are on it. It was suposed to be about 40 blocks but its more like 150 or so. She still has more to do so shes out there again today. We were thinkin we might show her what yall have been doin on the site but were nervous about it. Do yall think it might be best to wait till the flea market idea if it happens? I know we are stallin but we are so nervous about it. She wont be home till real late and Im here with grandma so I will be watchin for you to let me know what yall think. Thanks. Tiff

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
Hi guys, i just tried to buy one of the pictures, but noticed ( maybe it's because i'am in canada) it's trying to charge me 26.60 for shipping from usps?I would rather give dawn the 26. bucks ,then get charged for non shipping. Is there a way to fix that?

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
Big props to 63 & 64 for getting the "auction" up and running. It's a good idea and you deserve a lot of credit for spearheading this. I tried to give reps to everybody on the list, like you suggested, but after about five it told me I've given as many reps as I can for a day.
And props to MotorSeven; good idea on the flea market. I don't know how much help I can be, but I can be there on Saturday the 20th. Just let me know when it's official, and I guess I'll need the address. Also let me know if I can bring anything. Three and a half years ago, my dad had a stroke and was out of commission for weeks. And just this summer, my wife spent twelve days in the hospital. I've been the beneficiary of other people's kindness far more than I could ever deserve, and the opportunity to pass it along to others is as humbling as it is gratifying. Thanks to everybody who has kept this thread going.

Re: Ebay - Chevy truck widower selling their whole lot
Props to everyone who has given or who plan to and haven't had a chance yet.
If enough money is donated we might try and use a portion of it to get Dawn's 67 SWB on the road. I have talked with another member that lives about an hour from Dawn, and there's a possiblity that he might be able to help out with this. It's not finalized yet, and alot of it will depend on how much money comes in. Keep this in mind when you give. Thank again!

Send a PM to 63 & 64 Bowties and I bet he can work something out where you can just send him the money through paypal or something.
