Man, what a nice find!!

Red Tractors · 06-10-2013, 11:55 PM

Awesome truck! Hope you kept the topper.

Can't believe how clean that is. Great find. It's hard to find vehicles from the 2000's that are that clean. Congrats!

--Wow, that is a nice truck! Just curious though, and I know you may not want to say, and if you don't I TOTALLY understand, but what does something like that go for on CraigsList? Doesn't seem like the place to get top dollar out of a truck, was it someone who inherited it and didn't know what they had?

no they knew it had some good value but the thing was he died in april and none of the family had any interest in it (lucky for me) it was not cheap but reasonable lol

As others have stated, an incredible find! Much credit must be given the original owner ( guardian, maybe more appropriate) who kept this truck in show room unaltered condition for the last 40 years. How many of us can do this?

No kidding. I see three year old trucks with more mile and look worse.

I couldn't have that truck and not drive it all the time. No way I could put so few miles on it not tomention not use the bed. Amazing care and willpower.

Always enjoy reading your observations, true, during this era, even a plain looking truck on the outside can have some interesting suprises on the inside.The quality of a well preserved original truck is hard to beat, even if its a base model with painted bumpers.

Man, mine will never look like that, always closer but never there. A fantastic find, don't let it go!

MW826 · 06-28-2013, 05:30 PM

Are you going to put it up for sale on here too?

Good thing it's an automatic!

72Souper · 08-13-2013, 08:52 AM

I noticed the picture of the jack equipment, how was it set up behind the seat? Was it just the jack handle in the foam wrapping, inside the spring type mechanism? Cool truck, have fun!

slow-1 · 08-13-2013, 10:01 AM

That is a beautiful truck!

Bodydrop, that is why I was asking whether he's was going to post it on here too...
It's been on Craigslist since June.
