5 well ok now 6 truck retrieval progress! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sameyrasmea72 · 10-18-2006, 06:37 PM

A couple weeks ago I made a post about 5 trucks that I bought, well I made some progress on getting the field ready to get the trucks out and thought I would share some more pics.

This first truck is one that I had not intended on buying for some reason. But last week I found out my fenders on my project were aftermarket and since that won’t work for me I decided to take another look at this one. Turns out it’s a 72 swb with a lot of good sheet metal I need and a 72 frame to boot. I have 2-69 frames but was really wanting a 72.

All 6 of V8’s and transmissions are there and look fairly complete. They are pretty nasty looking, but I guess they would be worth something?

2nd

sameyrasmea72 · 10-18-2006, 06:44 PM

last one of the three that were really hidden

Texasdeere · 10-18-2006, 06:46 PM

That grill looks pretty nice. Hopefully that window wasn't always down. I don't think I have ever seen that much dirt caked up on and engine before. Still looks good though.

Looking forward to the rest of your pictures and progress.

Texasdeere · 10-18-2006, 06:48 PM

Ok, more pictures, getting out my drool bib!

jay_shy · 10-18-2006, 06:49 PM

yeah what a score! did you buy them or were they in your yard? Also was it a package deal? looks like alot of good parts and that second one looks very complete

Aarons72s · 10-18-2006, 07:02 PM

sameyrasmea72, the more pics I see and the the more lucky I think you are. I think you hit a platnum mine, forget gold. I wish my orange and white was as nice as that one.

Looks like a couple of old cornbinders are back in there too...how many trucks total are at this secret place of yours?

biglou55 · 10-18-2006, 07:29 PM

I think you just like to rub salt in the wounds of us rust belt boys. HA HA . Those would have been back to earth mother nature iron by now up here.

shortymac83 · 10-18-2006, 07:35 PM

I only wish my 67 looked as nice as that 68 (?). Man, that would go for $4500 easy up here.

1969C/10 · 10-18-2006, 07:58 PM

Did you ever decide if you are gonna get the old international trucks from that place?

I would bet all you see is some of that good old West Texas red dirt. There is a lot of sand storms in West Texas. I live in Centeral Texas and during certain times of the year you can see the Sand storms coming all the way from West Texas the sky will have a errie red glow.

**southern parts** · 10-18-2006, 08:33 PM

That 67`s a big back window ,looks like original paint too.

qksilver · 10-18-2006, 08:38 PM

I see you found my 67 ...........when would be a convient time for me to come but and get it out of your way?

chevy_fatman · 10-18-2006, 09:19 PM

That '67 looks real nice!! you scored big time!

**truckdude239** · 10-18-2006, 09:39 PM

NO, I don't THINK they were ever flooded, we have not had a flood around here since the GREAT ONE, just alot of years of sitting through dust storms.

TEXASC10-I rolled the window down on the yellow one this morning.
84 400-I bought them as a package deal!
AARONS72S - I like that orange/white one too but if is rougher than it looks but does have a very nice air cab
1969 GMC-There are around 30 or so total. 7-67-72's and most of the others are internationals and others.
SHORTYMAC83- It is a big window 67, Its amazes me what these trucks would bring in other places. Here I would lucky to get 450. for it.
1969/C10-I need to, I have a place to put as many as I need, Just a lack of manpower/time.

I will include some pics of the other 3 that were not covered in trees for you other guys that might have missed that post.

I really like this black truck for some reason, and it would be the one to build if I could get the title and if I was a 67-68 person.

mblackburnjr · 10-18-2006, 11:30 PM

Thats some cool iron! What were the brackets on the inner fender of the red 67 used for? They look original, and ive never noticed any before.

Thats a good question. I hadn't even noticed them 'til you mentioned them.

ghetto_superman · 10-18-2006, 11:51 PM

OoOhHHoOohh green with envy

or maybe it just makees me sick you got such an INSANE deal!!!

jimmydean · 10-19-2006, 02:27 AM

Man, most of those look straighter than mine!

kbs71 · 10-19-2006, 08:52 AM

The 5th picture of your red 67 (the one showing the engine), I think you better check the V8 looks like a V6 to me. That and I want first dibs on sheetmetal from the front end, since you arn't a 67/68 type guy.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-19-2006, 03:38 PM

Just amazing - I bet you are ear to ear smiles!
