Re: #3
Thats a very clean, good lucking truck....67'?
6 cyl with a 3 ott? Looks pretty stock which is the very best way to find these trucks in my opinion. I'm really taking to the short/steppers lately....good find. Coley

Re: #3
Generally, with addiction, we see a lot of "chasing the tail of the dragon". It's when what used to get you high no longer gets you high, so you need a bigger and bigger dose just to get back to normal.
You might want to ask yourself these important questions. - Do you find yourself needing at least a shortbox to get excited now? - What would you do for a small window cab, right now? - Does the site of a SPID sometimes cause your mouth to water for no reason? - Do the words "Sierra Grande" or "Super Cheyenne" cause physical symptoms? I used to have a problem with '69 Pontiacs. Canadian, American, didn't matter. Pretty soon they had to be full size, then convertibles, then... well, since the Intervention it doesn't matter anymore.

Not for one that nice... it's like a law if you see it and you have the money you have to buy it... or a puppy dies.

Re: #3
LOL, my new rule is; if the truck is less than an hour away, pretty good shape, and reasonably priced, it's coming home with me. This particular truck lived one mile away from me and I never knew it was there. Lived most of it's life in the shed. 86k miles.

Re: #3
Your truck looks really original. Curious if you could shoot some pics of the interior, Wondering about the GMC vs Chevy differences for the 67 year ?
Thanks Steve weim55 Colorado |

Re: #3
Wow that is a nice one, especially in the land of road salt. We lived in Iowa when I was a little kid and I remember how rotted out things got.
I would ride the addiction all day long if you are finding trucks like that!

Re: #3
Nope, no cure. Your truck is the reason why?, How could you pass on such a beautiful truck. Learn moderation not abstinence with the disease.

Re: #3
Be careful. There are addicts out here with a much worse problem. It gets much worse than your problem, unless you aren't telling us how it is ruining your life and has caused you to resort to criminal activity. You don't hold little old ladies up on the street do you? Lurk at the ATMs? Rob mail from mailboxes?
Nice truck. I wish I had found it. 20 hours away would be plenty close for me.

Re: #3
Boy, the more I go over this truck, the more pumped I get. Yes, it has a little rust in the rockers and one rear fender, but this thing is a time capsule. I don't think anything has ever been changed or replaced on it except tuneup type stuff. Has a barnyard paint job on it (was originally Aqua poly). I've got a set of steel wheels already. I think with a little hot wash, the engine bay will clean up real nice. Rear bumper is a little beat up, but an easy replace. Time to start replacing things like shocks, brakes, tune up and oil change, then drive this thing.
