Potential 50th sighting in Montana - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mt Al · 01-25-2005, 11:02 AM

On the North side of I90, near mile marker 122 (east of Missoula), there sits a gold colored '68 LWB with one of those anti-reflection things in the window. The truck has been sitting there for years. Used to drive the route all the time and then didn't for a few years. Went back last week and its still there. It has those mirrors (wish I knew the right name) with bars connecting to the top of the door and the regular connection area (big chrome things, look factory).

Nearby there's also a thrashed '67-'68 "panel" (no windows) burb for sale. Its a 4x4 and looks like it might be worth about ten cents.

FYI

Mirrors are Jr West Coast.

Any original 4x4 panel would have to be pretty thrashed to be worth only 10 cents. They are rare and if that matters to a buyer, adds to the value.

Oh...

Heres a 50th I found in the junkyard a few months ago. Has a '67 cab in the bed.

Now THAT looks worthless...LOL! I am sure there must be something of value on that truck. Did you check to see if it had bucket seats?

67chops · 01-25-2005, 11:50 AM

the seats were already taken... tailgate was the closest thing to repairable but not much else was worth anything...
