Free truck in Everett, WA - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bouncytruck · 01-18-2005, 01:49 PM

Found this listing on Craigslist. It is hard to see in the photo, but it looks like a 67-72 Chevy or GMC - FREE! Someone with ablitiy to tow it might be able to use it for parts or make a little extra $.

This truck has no motor, possibly no brakes. Basically just a frame, wheels, tires, bed, canopy and whatever else....you'll have to have it towed away by a towing company. I'm afraid that if someone was to try to use a tow chain there could be some complications.

this is in or around Everett

I already emailed him this morning and have not heard back as yet. Thanks for telling Frank and Curtis about it...the two free sets of stainless westcoast mirrors I promised you just went into the dumpster....LOL! Just kidding. Sorry...you're not Corey...that is COBALT! I guess I have no leverage over you...ROFLMAO!

HeavyD · 01-18-2005, 02:32 PM

I can't believe I see trucks being given away..here NOTHING is free.

Blue Beard · 01-18-2005, 02:36 PM

Too bad the pics weren't better...

bouncytruck · 01-18-2005, 02:45 PM

If they aren't responding, it is probably a hoax. Probably a disgruntled neighbor who is tired of looking over the fence at it.

Yeah, like it might fall over that rock wall

How the hell did he/she get it up there. There has to be a logical answer to that one.

I'm not seeing any pictures...

**PICKMUP** · 01-18-2005, 04:40 PM

Wow! Thanks for the tip. I am heading North with my tow dollie right now!

NOT---but, you better hurry up Kirby (stllookin), because I am right behind you.

bouncytruck · 01-18-2005, 05:06 PM

The race is on!

stllookn · 01-18-2005, 05:41 PM

With the way things move off CL I would not be surprised to hear a towing company got it this morning since it was posted late last night and I responded early this morning. Beating Frank to one of these would be a like slamming one on Shaq or fanning Barry...it just don't happen very often and can make a career...LOL!

Husker · 01-18-2005, 09:18 PM

Looks like just a bed with a topper. Probaly someone made a Trailer.

bouncytruck · 01-18-2005, 11:07 PM

can ya see these?

longnlow72 · 01-18-2005, 11:57 PM

do u have any a little less of a close up?

silvertonguedevil · 01-19-2005, 12:00 AM

Yes, I can see those. Thank you. Are those the only ones? (not much of a view)

ricecop425 · 01-19-2005, 02:52 AM

almost looks as though it might just be the bed and canopy, wonder why they took the pics so far away, its prolly worth more to tow then it is to keep

stllookn · 01-19-2005, 04:33 AM

I wonder how fast he was going when he jumped that ravine and buried that poor truck into those trees? I have not heard a word from the guy so I am still thinking that is already in a yard somewhere just north of Olympia...LOL...or it is in the Pull-A-Part on North Aurora!

stllookn · 01-19-2005, 01:02 PM

Well...it's almost a free truck...more like 1/4 of a truck. Just the frame box and two canopies! Here is the good news...it is a Longhorn box and appears to be very straight! I plan to pick it up once CARS4567 gets back from CA with the trailer.

stllookn · 01-19-2005, 01:13 PM

No emblems...so it has to be a later model...ANDY?

ricecop425 · 01-19-2005, 02:21 PM

not you got to find soemthing to do with those canopies. you should tow it up to highway two, unbolt it and just start mobbbin down the road, i would say at about 70 the s*** would blow off. haha

silvertonguedevil · 01-19-2005, 03:15 PM

Wouldn't it be kinda hard to find a 9ft canopy?

bouncytruck · 01-19-2005, 04:07 PM

Boy, the owner must never go out to their backyard if they didn't know it was missing the cab. The bed and frame should be worth something. Glad to hear it is going to a board member!

stllookn · 01-19-2005, 04:07 PM

Silver...you are so right about the canopy...it is an old classic Alpine aluminum unit. For someone doing a "period" 100 pt. restoration it would be a must have! If a person did not want it the metal recyclers are paying a premium for aluminum right now. I will keep it for the restoration. I don't know about the other one though and will have to see.

**PICKMUP** · 01-19-2005, 05:01 PM

Way to go Kirby. You Lucky Dog, you get all of the good stuff. You're just too fast for me.

PS: I did just get back from looking at a 72 GMC, nice solid runner, a 72 Longhorn & 72 Blazer parts trucks. I'll just keep trying.
