Picked this up 1971 up the other day it has the inflation fighter package. Kinda a rar ordeal i couldnt pass on. Ive already lowered it and slapped some wheels on it. It has orginal paint and still has the dealer stickers.

PanelDeland · 09-01-2012, 07:36 PM

That's a nice one.They're growing the nicer than when I was there.

68fixeruper · 09-01-2012, 07:37 PM

Well correct me if im wrong but on 71 they had a low budget truck and this was it 250i6/3 speed manual. Also had radio delete and cigarette lighter delete. It had hand painted upper trim. There is videos and some articles on the inflation fighter package. I paid a little than i prolly should have but for what im after it fits.

New $2,575.00, that was about half the price of a loaded Longhorn.

Yep, those were the only options my inflation fighter equipped truck had! That is a NICE looking truck. I also saw it for sale on here a while back. Will be super sweet with an Ls swap! That's what I would have done with it too.

Looks awesome!

Mayo · 09-03-2012, 09:25 PM

are the inflation fighters the only ones to have the paint stripe?

sleepertruck72 · 09-03-2012, 09:37 PM

Thats a clean, nice rig ! Im diggin the wheels, Congrats

mr48chev · 09-03-2012, 09:59 PM

That is one good looking truck. I'm not usually a fan of the over sized wheels on older trucks but those blend right in and don't overpower the truck. You see the whole truck rather than big wheels and then the truck around them, good choice.

67anthony · 09-03-2012, 10:19 PM

Love it great color to .

No, any Fleetside or Chassis Cab without the B85 upper/belt molding could have the D89 painted double stripe in Black or White. Just priced the packaged options at about $63.00 retail seperately. Wish I had an invoice to see what the YF7 cost the dealer. Anyone know?

VA72C10 · 09-04-2012, 02:53 AM

Cool looking truck and cool thread!

so to be an inflation fighter it has to have a YF7 code on the SPID?
