Look what I found! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jace's68 · 01-11-2004, 03:30 PM

After about 5-6 years of looking I finally found an almost all original truck to use as a daily driver. When we bought it a couple of weeks ago it was an inline six, straight shift no option (except trim molding) model with 91,000 original miles. Within a week it is was changed over to a V8 auto with power steering and power brakes. I also had a set of 6 lug rally's that we used to replace the original wheels with. I plan on driving this one while I do the frame off restoration of my other truck.

Baradium · 01-11-2004, 03:34 PM

Looks nice!

Am I correct in reading that you looked for an all original truck to make it not all original?

Still looks like a really nice drive, did you save the parts you removed?

Thanks,
Ryan

Jace's68 · 01-11-2004, 03:37 PM

I was more concerned about the body not being repaired. I didn't want a truck full of bondo or rust. Eventually I plan on upgrading this truck to look like a CST. I still have everything that I took off of the truck in case I change my mind.

337 · 01-11-2004, 03:37 PM

Nice!!
How much did you pay?
I found the exact same thing in San Antone for 1500.00.
Paint is not nearlyl as good as yours, but to give you an idea of the condition, the battery stand is not rusted thru, no holes in the steel bed

I waiting on income tax refund to make my final decision.
Goals are:
350
ps/pb
disc brakes
ac
6 lug Rally rims

You got me jealous.

Jace's68 · 01-11-2004, 03:38 PM

It cost me $2000 for the truck.

337 · 01-11-2004, 03:42 PM

With paint and a body like that,

You STOLE it!!!

Good thing come to those who wait.
I can't wait 5-6 year for my truck.
I might be married with children by then...you know what happens then.

71-longbed · 01-11-2004, 05:21 PM

2,000 is an amazing deal .... lets see more pics :p

Longhorn Man · 01-11-2004, 05:23 PM

Screw the project...you have a sweet ride right there.

*dtlilly* · 01-11-2004, 05:35 PM

That truck looks too nice for a daily driver. I'd be too afraid of something happening to it. Good find.

Longhorn Man · 01-11-2004, 05:39 PM

Every tiome I see a black truck, i start getting evil idead for doing the longhorn up in black. I know how hard it is to make them look good, I know they are a PITA to clean, and waxing is a total b!tch too...but there is something about a black truck...kinda liek the pic of brittney and madonna, you just can't take your eyes off of it.

pic posting is back up?

that is a sweet truck you have there man!

1971 Cheyenne · 01-11-2004, 07:45 PM

AHHHHHHHH, that truck is awesome,

Now your making me feel liek I got ripped off :'(

69_hafton · 01-11-2004, 08:09 PM

Some of us know how to shop (not me). I'd love to
find a deal like that. My truck is worth
more to me than it's worth to anyone else,
but a truck like you found is worth more
than what you had to pay for it.

I'd've kep it stock tho... There aren't too
many low mileage ones like that. Does it
have the option sticker in the glove box?

CPNEJR · 01-11-2004, 08:14 PM

sweeet truck man

I agree you stole that witha paint job like that and not rusty and just for a daily driver thats nice

BADA$$69 · 01-11-2004, 08:51 PM

That is one good lookin truck. It is very depressing to me to know that you got that truck for 2G's

I paid $1500 for mine and I had to replace the rockers, a cab corner & patch the passenger front fender below the battery.

Blue Beard · 01-11-2004, 10:26 PM

He must have been looking the other way when you stole that...........

I'll bet you almost broke your arm reaching for your wallet that fast...........

I know what you can do with it.........help me fill my new shop, sell it to me..........

Jace's68 · 01-11-2004, 10:29 PM

Thanks guys. Actually the paint is not that great. It has 35 years of scratches and nicks. I buffed it out so it would good from a distance.

And 69_hafton, yes it has the option sheet. The only option was the trim molding on the exterior.

weasel29gm · 01-13-2004, 01:04 AM

Great find goes to show that there is a few good ones left!!!!

Longhorn Man · 01-13-2004, 02:30 AM

Hey crank...I've been through there...actually, just last month I went through there.

Funny thing is, they have a tower painted up just like this in a town by the same name in Texas.

krue · 01-13-2004, 02:31 AM

Good looking truck!

doughby82 · 01-13-2004, 03:43 AM
