Lookie what I found .. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CC69Rat · 07-10-2013, 01:58 PM

Peeking out of a barn about 2 miles from my house.

71-72 Cheyenne, has all the trim and appears to be a SWB, cant really tell for sure from the road.. It's raining here just about every day so it's tough to get a picture.

Hugger Orange, looks like a true time capsule.. I have ridden by it about 50 times in the last couple days but I cant get the courage to stop and ask about it.

Crappy picture I know, but you can see it peeking out of the barn.

Tinkermc · 07-10-2013, 02:11 PM

So stop and ask to see it. All they can say is NO. They could even make you some offer to own it.

Scottcoda · 07-10-2013, 02:21 PM

STOP!! STOP!!! Because I will or the next guy who drives by it will!!! That's how I got my truck.. saw it on someone's lawn and worked out a trade for wood.. I shutter to think what would be if I did not stop, i would never be able to buy a nice starter truck with just cash because I never have any

CC69Rat · 07-10-2013, 04:55 PM

Just went by there .. I could see it a little better from the road I just don't have the gall to go up to the door. Nice house.. just kinda awkward.

Definitely a Cheyenne though.. swb, lwb I can't tell. Solid hugger orange.

Your camera focused on the drops on your window instead of the truck. Go ask them, they probably won't shoot you.

I hear ya on the rain, waves were braking this afternoon around the engine stand...in the garage. I'm a little tired of rain.

RANDY COX · 07-10-2013, 06:07 PM

Rain what's that LOL.It's rained here in VA,bout everyday too....Yes you must stop by and atleast ask about it....you never know...

flashed · 07-10-2013, 06:12 PM

Have you gone back yet ? I bet he wont shoot more than once .I know where one is close to my house sitting ln a barn but my wife would shoot me instead of the truck owner .

volksworld · 07-10-2013, 06:22 PM

great pic...think I see Elvis behind the wheel...

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-10-2013, 06:24 PM

Not to highjack the thread but you guys reminded me of the sign I put on my gate..."Due to the high price of ammo..warning shots will no longer be fired"..

C/10 King · 07-10-2013, 06:43 PM

Just go knock on the door and tell them that your name is "Noah" and you need the truck for your ark, you never know they may have a second one.....

55chevy · 07-10-2013, 06:52 PM

I predict the old timer will say, "Nah, thet aint fer sale, I'm gonna restore it some day"

Dads coming up to my place on Sat,.. maybe we can ride by and look at it. Were expecting Tropical Storm like weather here over the next couple days.

HAHA, I hope it is man!

**70cst** · 07-10-2013, 09:29 PM

Just be honest with the owner...

I usually start out and say that I am of fan of Chevy trucks and especially 67-72 Chevy trucks. Tell them you saw the truck from the road and you would like to look at it with the owners permission.

If you get past this stage...when you get to the truck just show admiration of the truck and then after some small talk you might mention that if he would ever consider selling it you might be interested. If he says he would entertain an offer then the ball is in your court. If he says no... just say you understand but leave your name and phone number in case he decides to sell it some day.

Good Luck

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 07-10-2013, 09:39 PM

Better safe than sorry for sure. No one wants to get booted off someone elses property.

Take a buddy and see what is up with it. Eager to see what it is....
