scored a free truck!
well, about 2 years ago i saw a truck for sale on a local message board, it had some pics it was a 69 chevy custom camper 20... i noticed it had leaf springs, a bunch of regular options for a camper special... and the body was fairly rust free especially for nebraska, it needed rockers, and one door was messed up, and the tailgate was missing (must have had a slid in camper im guessing)
anyway the deal fell through, the seller backed out saying his father in law wanted to restore the truck and it was no longer for sale, and he'd let me know if somthing fell through, blah blah blah... so on went my search for a nice cab. THEN- i saw it for sale again.. i emailed him asking whats up? he gave me the run around and never called me to make a deal. so then, i heard about a truck about 30 miles away from here, that i could have for free... i went to check it out IT WAS THE SAME TRUCK... so i ended up using a ratchet strap to pull the damb thing onto the trailor with flat tires, yes it sucked, bad. anyway i scored a free truck that eluded me twice.. PICS TO COME |
