Another unlooked for truck
So I am out cleaning up the battery terminals on my 68 short 4x4 and a guy drives by and then stops. He comes up and says, " I noticed you like to work on these old trucks" and after a little bit of small talk he tells me that he has inherited a '68 with "that short bed on it". He says he doesn't know what to do with it and would I be interested in maybe purchasing it. I ask him how much and he tells me $1,000.00. Well now he has my attention! I go and take a look at it and as fate would have it the truck came up here to the NW in 2001 from southern CA. There is zero rust and the body is straight. However, it needs paint. To make a long story short, I offer him $800.00 for it and I now own it. It is going to be a good year!!
