Neighbor sold truck/I didn`t know - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 09-01-2005, 10:00 AM

I`ve been so busy this summer,I haven`t stopped by since July 4th.He sold his nice`82 ElectraGlide,his`68 Custom/10,and has his`41(?)Dodge sedan(Chevy-power)street rod for sale.He bought a new FLH Standard and is going to build a`67 the way he wants it,customized.He has a`31 Willys sedan(solid/original)for sale,too.Anyway,the truck was supposed to go last evening,so I took some fairwell shots.

That`s my dog,Buddy.He sold it for $7500:rebuilt(warm)350,TH 350,exc.mech.,non-a/c.

Is that truck a 50th?

**special-K** · 09-01-2005, 10:19 AM

No,that`s what I wondered when he bought it a couple years back.No Vin-spec sheet,black upholstery(now),also it`s hard to spot,but we found red paint.

WOW...beautiful 50th paint job just the same!

67ChevyRedneck · 09-01-2005, 11:11 AM

50th or not, someone is taking home a beautiful truck.

CHEVYE · 09-01-2005, 12:08 PM

i love the look of that. it's lowered a bit but still has the classic look, very classy ride.

**tnblazerk5** · 09-01-2005, 12:23 PM

thats a great lookin 68 there !!!!!!!

86swb · 09-01-2005, 12:30 PM

What is the 50th? Never have heard of this.

70c10 · 09-01-2005, 12:37 PM

Wow Tim, your buddy had some nice toys!

chevyfarmer · 09-01-2005, 01:00 PM

86swb the 50th anniversary they are referring to is a 68 Chevy pickup that had a exact color scheme as the one @ the top of this post. It was a anniversary special option which gave you this color combination and a different interior. One of the main differences was a different fabric on the seat covers. Usually they were well equipped trucks usually having quite a few options. There were other differences as well but I think these were the main ones.

86swb · 09-01-2005, 01:02 PM

OK, thanks!

cdowns · 09-01-2005, 02:26 PM

i've found over the years that neighbors with cool vehicles seem to not want somebody close having a chance to buy thier vehicles,guess when they get rid of them they want out of sight out of mind type of closure

**special-K** · 09-01-2005, 02:28 PM

Yeah,that`s the way I am.He offered it to me last summer when it still had a 305.I decided I would pass to build a`67 GMC Stepside and finish-up the`72 Fleetside.We`ve swapped,sold,and built together alot.He sold his bike to a guy he works with,he doesn`t care.Well,it did seem to bother him when the guy dropped it at the end of the driveway,no damage.

Swbman · 09-01-2005, 03:08 PM

Yes, that is a nice looking rig even if its not the original paint.

I can understand that. If I sold any of mine, I would not want it sitting across the street or next door where down the road I wish I did not sell it. I agree, out of sight out of mind.
