Some of you might remember this truck. Here is an earlier post on it with more pics.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=313553

I ended up putting it on craigslist for him with a $3500 price tag on it. It didn't sell so he decided to hang on to it for a while. He called me this afternoon and asked if I was still interested in the truck, he said he found a piece of property he wants to buy and needed some cash. I told him it depended on the price and he said if I could get the money to him this afternoon he would sell it to me for $2500. Needless to say it didn't take me long to get the money over to him. I have some plans for the truck but I'm not going to divulge what they are just yet....

**72 Super** · 11-23-2009, 10:07 PM

You come across some nice trucks. I really liked your Red/White 4x4

jim zag · 11-23-2009, 10:46 PM

That looks to be a real nice truck. You were smart to buy it!

*Puropedo* · 11-23-2009, 10:49 PM

Congratulations! That truck is awesome, first for being a 67 and second for having one of my favorite factory colors, cant wait to see more pictures of it...Hint!

DubDubU · 11-23-2009, 11:00 PM

What? He didn't just give it to you. Whats up with that?

tcb-1 · 11-23-2009, 11:05 PM

congrats on another to the Locdoc stables!!!

lets see, a 3/4 tonner. I can see a nice little camper carrier there, Leon. you know, for those road trips with the lovely Pat?!

Bob 68327 · 11-23-2009, 11:49 PM

I knew you would end up with it !!! I should have bought it !! Be cheaper than the one I'm building for my daughter in the end

Oh well that wouldn't be any fun would it !! Glad you got it couldn't have went to a nicer guy!! Happy Thanksgiving !! to you and Pat .... Bob

Thanks guys. I was glad to get it. I think he is going to deliver it tomorrow.

oldblue1968chevy: The metal is pretty nice on it.

DubDubU: Hey Wayne! Maybe he would have if he hadn't needed the money so bad..

tcb-1: I already have the '70 that has a slide in camper so this one will get another treatment.

Bob 68327: Thanks Bob. You and your family have a nice Thanksgiving too.

brothers69c-10 · 11-24-2009, 01:17 AM

Bout time you bought that darn thing Leon!

unclewatts · 11-24-2009, 05:27 AM

Very nice! And the price was right too.

68C15 · 11-24-2009, 07:26 AM

cool Leon. I really like that one, except it has the wrong grill.

hmmmm, if memory serves me you now have 2 long bed trucks that are road worthy. you and Pat could come this weekend and help me move.

72BlckButy · 11-24-2009, 09:20 AM

Christmas came early my friend... nice purchase. I'm anticipating your future plans for the truck as it is a very clean '67. I'd almost say we might get to see it next Sept, but you will probably part with it by that time.

Leon and family, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

**lks dcvn** · 11-24-2009, 09:24 AM

Nice buy - looks like a good start to any project. If it were me - I would have bought it for $2500 also -

**Palf70Step** · 11-24-2009, 10:01 AM

Really nice. Can't wait to see your plans for her.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-24-2009, 10:18 AM

Congrats on the new ride but come on you cant hold out on us what are the plans.....

**LockDoc** · 11-24-2009, 11:46 AM

Thanks gents,

The only thing I will say for now is it will stay stock looking, a long bed, and a six cylinder...

Thanks Mike. I probably won't try to sell it until next spring now. I'm going to repaint it this winter.

I think you've been bitten by the 4x4 bug!!...I could see you rolling a 4 wheel drive chassis under that Beauty!!

Whatever you do with it I'm sure it will turn out Nice.

I know what you mean, looking for the right one. That is such a cool truck. I missed one several years ago I wished I would have looked harder at. A 1970 2WD plain jane 6 cylinder Blazer. Thought, I will try to get one later... Haven't seen another I think it was had for 2500 bucks! Double kick in the pants! Great truck and thanks for all the advice in the past!

**JDL** · 11-24-2009, 09:19 PM

Hay I saw that one befor. We just got a 71 you will have to see.
