Post Re: Where did you find your truck?

Had a 4X4 69 Blazer many years ago that I found on a Ford dealers lot. Talked them down from $1,900 to $1,600 and bought it.

My 69 stepside I found in a nearby town while out cruising my 72 Chevelle. Sitting on the main street with a for sale sign on it. Got that one for $1,000

My 71 Cheyenne 20 found me. Was washing my 69 Chevelle in my front yard and the owner stopped and asked if I wanted to buy a parts truck. Said I could have it for $100. Looked in my wallet and said I only had $50 and he said he'd take that. He even delivered it to me! I couldn't part it so I fixed it up and it's my daily driver now.

My Custom 30 wrecker I found in a junkyard. Asked yard owner if it was for parts but he wasn't sure what he was doing with it. About a month or so later, I found it down in the yard. Bought some parts from it and just couldn't get it out of my mind that weekend. Decided to see if I could buy the whole truck to restore! It worked out and I bought it for $1,000. I'm restoring it now and it will see the road again possibly next summer. Build thread on this one is located here:
