Survivor '68 CST
Ran across this in the parking lot at a strip mall. It stopped me in my tracks!! Straight as a pin.
Found the owner working in a bike shop and he happily showed me the truck. I was driving my '71 so I think that helped break the ice. His GREAT grandpa bought it new, 130 some thousand original miles, bed covered since new. Unmolested except for tires, belts, hoses, etc... and a couple holes for CB or something in the 70's. Absolutely the most solid door thunk I've felt and the nicest original I've seen in 20 years. Not a speck of rust. Original paint. Bed floor is breathtaking. Yes he was driving it to work in the rain....  I'd have tried to buy it if he hadn't mentioned grandpa and the fact his 5 yr old daughter loves it. Don't worry, he appreciates the originality and has no plans to change it.
