One owner. I have the original bill of sale! It isn't perfect but it's about as unmolested a 37 year old truck you'll ever find and I found it 20 miles from my house. The guy bought it here in Waco, TX in 1971.

big_al_71 · 09-24-2009, 09:32 PM

niced truck, love the factory two tone style paint job...

ChevLoRay · 09-24-2009, 09:46 PM

A minor touch o'patina. I'd keep it as you found it, clean up the engine and make it run good, then drive it.....safely.

jholley · 09-24-2009, 09:52 PM

That's my goal. 100% mechanically sound. Fix what's broke and that's it. I have a resto project already. This is a DD

**Stocker** · 09-24-2009, 09:55 PM

Great find, there can't be many original survivors left!

boogie67 · 09-24-2009, 10:02 PM

Very nice truck! Have you seen the one at Tracy'sAuto?Its the same color as yours.

jholley · 09-24-2009, 10:08 PM

No, where is Tracy's? There's two down on Franklin at Steve's Auto that they want ridiculously too much much money for. This one was out on Gholson.

Lovin the long bed!

Longhorn321 · 09-24-2009, 10:27 PM

Sooooo....How much did you have to part with? Inquiring minds want to know!

Texasdeere · 09-24-2009, 10:34 PM

Great Find! Love the originals!

**leddzepp** · 09-24-2009, 10:59 PM

Great find....looks like my survivor! Strange that most survivor trucks seem to be ochre/white 2 tone.

YEA Steves can be pretty high on his cars,Tracys is on Valley Mills and Speight its in the back.He probably wants about $20 grand for it.

Jbham88 · 09-24-2009, 11:21 PM

sleepertruck72 · 09-25-2009, 02:23 AM

Nice find !!!! That thing is sweet !

clos69 · 09-25-2009, 08:20 AM

Nice score Jim, congratz
Any more pics of the inside and engine?

70k52wd · 09-25-2009, 08:32 AM

I love the dealer installed badge on the cowl. Seems like a lot of TX truck dealers did that.
Is the rear bumper dealer marked also?
Sweet find.

hoss67 · 09-25-2009, 08:53 AM

Good score. Very lucky is all I can say. Great find.

Yes it has the dealer bumper on it too. Its says "Steakley Bros Chev, Waco TX" Some folks like those. I'm not very fond of it though so it may come off.

I'll get some. The inside is pretty tore up. It's going to need a seat cover, a dash pad and a steering wheel at least. Anybody have a good bottom seat cushion and a Saddle colored cover for sale?

kelsfine69 · 09-25-2009, 12:33 PM

If you could take a tapemeasure and see if the sport mirrors are in the same place on both doors? I am wonderin since the manual shows them in differnt locations? and I am getting close to putting mine on. Thanks

jholley · 09-25-2009, 12:58 PM

The drivers side mirror is 6 5/8 from the front of the mirror mount to the front of the door and the passengers is 7 5/8. Hope that helps.

kelsfine69 · 09-25-2009, 01:00 PM

Yes thanks..I wonder why they did that?
