BEAUTIFUL truck Jocko. Some great stories here.

I don't have a picture. Anyway, I had just bought my 72 when a faded solid dark blue 71 SWB step side came up for $3,000. It was a desert truck, and by the pictures the body and probably frame were rock solid. The interior had been redone, I believe with reproduction parts.

Seems it was fairly low miles. If memory serves me, it was a straight six, and may have been on a clutch. If I had the room I'd have bought it anyway. Not sure my wife would understand having a third Chevy though,

and I already have three trucks.
