Oops I did it again
Back before Christmas I bought an 80' camaro from my buddy, and for some new parts he had on hand, I traded him my parts and pieces 67'. Now with the 67' gone I knew I needed another. But with no funds on hand I really had few options. So I went out and about nosing around, just seeing what was around, checked out some nice cabs, and a sweet Texas short step I wish I could have bought out at fine69's place, but I did leave there with an Idea of the direction I wanted to go, and then today happened. My dad calls me about this craigslist add about an Arizona patina'd 67' an hour and a half north of us, so I made the phone call and we were on our way. An hour and a half later and I'm falling in love. Let me tell you this is no Ohio truck, now it has some rough spots, but considering whats around here that's this old, I couldn't be happier. And to top it off I got to drive that jewel the hour and a half ride home with no problems. The only problem I have now is that I'm using my wifes laptop while the desk top gets some updates and I have no idea how to post pics so all you picture junkies will have to wait until tomorrow.

Re: Oops I did it again
OK so it's the day after tomorrow, and hopefully and didn't talk it up too much, but for me and what I've seen around me for sale this is it. With that said , here are the pics.

Re: Oops I did it again
I am really liking the looks of your "new" ride. The patina looks very similar to another forum members ride.
What are you plans? Keith |

Re: Oops I did it again
Thanks all for the comments, I'm most happy that I own one I can drive, bonus for it being so solid.
I'm not sure as for the plans. I really like it the way it is, but it's been in Ohio now since 95', and I don't want it to start rusting away so eventually, someday, maybe I'll get to restore it. But for now I think it'll make a cool tow rig for the Camaro, and a good cruiser for a car show here and there, rust and all. 67'

Re: Oops I did it again
White knuckle is right and maybe even some blisters. It was all over the road, no power steering, and no power brakes......I had to pay attention

Re: Oops I did it again
Nice truck for snow and salt country!!
You wouldn't be interested in parting with those west coast style mirrors in the back would you?
