Picked this up this weekend, bad color but the truck is near perfect, got to love Arizona trucks. It needs painted, but the only bad rust is in the drivers rocker, everything else is solid, I have never seen a truck have a body that is this straight....Got to add power steering, front sway bar and probably will make it an automatic. Nice ride though for a long bed, very quiet and so smooth to drive. Best 2800 I have ever spent, well except for my green machine..

Nice ride!!

matthufham · 01-22-2006, 11:48 PM

nice truck minus the rockers, what's up with those seat belts

71meangreenc10 · 01-22-2006, 11:57 PM

Thanks for the comments, the seat belts are actual GM, dont know if a dealer put them in or what, but the other ends are under the seat.

thejoker · 01-23-2006, 12:00 AM

Very nice.....and great price too. Congrats.

jsbgump · 01-23-2006, 03:01 AM

Nice truck. Looks like you got a great truck for a great price.

71 shortbox · 01-23-2006, 03:57 AM

weasel29gm · 01-23-2006, 06:21 AM

Good buy!!!

dyingdeadman · 01-23-2006, 06:28 AM

nice truck

*hoser* · 01-23-2006, 07:48 AM

Nice find, AZ and no a/c?

What color you thinking? The current color is not all that great but its one you dont see that often.

bojoe · 01-23-2006, 09:17 AM

There is my rust free truck I want. Looks good.

71meangreenc10 · 01-23-2006, 11:09 AM

Sierra Vista is near FT Huachucha, off of 90, Someone put AC in it, Iam going to take it out and put in a vintage system, I hate the color too, but it gets your attention, I may use the same color. I painted my green machine the factory green and its sharp.

Good looking truck.

boundstaffpress · 01-23-2006, 01:00 PM

Nice grab. Looks like a fun truck

Cheesewagon · 01-23-2006, 04:48 PM

Nice looking truck, and that color will grow on you given alittle time.

Tynee · 01-23-2006, 06:25 PM

$2800? Can you hear me choking on that from there?!

see ten · 01-23-2006, 06:54 PM

Is that the color that is called grapefruit yellow? I think it's a good looking color, but to each his own. Looks like a great find.

NO LONGER DISTURBED KONCEPTZ · 01-23-2006, 07:50 PM

Nice truck looks like they only rust is the rockers, the norm. But they put that gas door right in the side of the bed.

chevy_fatman · 01-23-2006, 08:15 PM

Very nice truck!~ just so you know those seatbelts are a factory GM option, not many truck were orderd with them, so yeah pretty rare (especially black ones) and if you decide to sell them one day, you'll be very happy with what they bring on eBay.
I got a black set stashed away for my truck but not as nice as yours, congrats!

72MARIO · 01-23-2006, 08:23 PM

Also where are the cracks in the steering wheel ? Is that one perfect ?

71meangreenc10 · 01-23-2006, 08:46 PM

The wheel and the pad were replaced, but everything else is stock, I think its going to be fun to do this one.....
