froze my butt off at snow auction BUT - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I scored an all original, 1 owner, lady driven farm truck. 43K miles,. Thursday I took pics of it when it was 65F. Today was an artic blast, 35mph windgusts of 10 windchill. Truck is nothing fancy but is fairly clean. 350 4bbl, stabilizer, auxillary springs, AM radio, HD radiator. I bought it to resell but I might keep'er. Hard to find these with less than 50K these days. Plus I love that orange-red factory color.

Looks nice! How solid was it? It looks really good in the pics.

brianthelion02 · 12-24-2007, 05:26 PM

Looks like a good solid truck,congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

davidh · 12-24-2007, 05:28 PM

very solid. I got it to start but couldnt give it gas without popping and backfiring. We got back from our 30mile trip, put gas in it on the trailer, went to the barn and charged up the battery. I started it up and let it run. Once the fresh gas was circulating it ran great.

davidh...nice score. I luv it when another truck gets adopted into a new home. Looks like a winner to me.

dan42 · 12-24-2007, 05:39 PM

Nice score.

davidh · 12-24-2007, 05:43 PM

I drove it around the block and was amazed how easy it was to turn with manual steering, tight front end + 215/75/15's make easy turning. LOL

davidh · 12-24-2007, 05:44 PM

has front stabilzer, power brakes but no fact pwr steering. thought it was odd?

89 crew · 12-24-2007, 05:56 PM

Looks like that lady has been loved and taken care of! CONGRATS!!!

st1x10 · 12-24-2007, 06:19 PM

Looks like a good find. I finished up the suspension on mine today and went to drive home and found it snowing and cold. Needless to say I didn't get a very good test drive of it.

72armyswbtruck · 12-24-2007, 07:08 PM

Nice find, glad to see that it went to a good home

72BlckButy · 12-25-2007, 02:22 AM

jim zag · 12-25-2007, 02:40 AM

Nice TRUCK! You are a LUCKY DOG! If you are like me you will not want to sell any of the trucks you have. I hope you survived the ICE STORM down there in OKLAHOMA! Winter is here!

bad6772 · 12-25-2007, 02:58 AM

nice looking truck.....good job

Huck · 12-25-2007, 04:39 AM

Nice buy, but why did you get cheap and let that neat auxillery gas tank get away?? hehehehe

Cyclone44 · 12-25-2007, 04:54 AM

It will be hard to get rid of that nice find !!!!

Fraser Beatty · 12-25-2007, 07:19 AM

Nice score, and nice truck!

powell72 · 12-25-2007, 07:41 AM

I dig it, you should keep it.

davidh · 12-25-2007, 08:31 AM

There's a new tailgate for it. The story is the tailgate there was dented, insurance bought a new one, painted and everything. but since this was a farm truck they just put it up!!! He hasnt decided how much he wants for it yet but Im going to try to get it.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-28-2007, 02:04 PM

Very clean truck - keep it!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-28-2007, 02:30 PM

Nice score......

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 12-28-2007, 02:35 PM

Nice score! If it were me I would keep it. Good truck the way it is and then it's a great future project down the road. Two trucks for the price of one.

esll.

**68350** · 12-28-2007, 05:47 PM

corn · 12-28-2007, 06:00 PM
