Just bought this truck off ebay(haven't picked it up yet, hopefully tomorrow or the day after). I looked at in person and it is one of the nicest originals I have ever, ever seen! The box is perfect! The only rust is in the rockers(none through on cab corner). Runs like a top(has glass packs with 90s before the rear tires). The guy that owns it right now bought it from the original owner. The current owners dad serviced this truck back in the day. It was used to pull a trailer its whole life. The timberliner package added front and rear chrome bumpers, bumper guards and the two tone paint with special emblems(looks just like longhorn emblems except they say timberliner). I can't wait to pick it up. It's beautiful and will receive a new grille(someone backed into it and took off), rockers, seat cover, mirrors, bumper guards, tilt, power steering, and a good wax job. It's just plain beautiful and has a full history to go with it. Enjoy the pics.

looks like a good buy, when buying offa e-bay is really nice if you can actually see the veh first.
whats that white box under the dash?

thirdstreettito · 02-09-2009, 06:49 PM

I agree and need to see more pics when you get it.

OARNGESI · 02-09-2009, 07:49 PM

I remember seeing that truck on ebay dont remember anything about it just the grille whats your plans for it

eightbanger · 02-09-2009, 07:52 PM

Another one saved....enjoy! How did it go buying on the bay? no hidden nightmares?

Security guy · 02-09-2009, 07:57 PM

Nice truck! Keep us updated on your plans for it and of course, more pics!

bigguy69 · 02-09-2009, 08:04 PM

need more ! need more!

sleepertruck72 · 02-09-2009, 08:07 PM

I like that orange/white combo. That truck looks really taken care of even though its missing tooth and bumper guard. The hubcaps look in better shape than my whole truck

Congrats on a good find, and no ebay nightmares

dan42 · 02-09-2009, 08:12 PM

Nice pickup. I love that color combo.

big_al_71 · 02-09-2009, 10:18 PM

I love two tone factory paint jobs....Congrats!!!

powell72 · 02-09-2009, 10:20 PM

Looks like a great truck, congrats. How hard are swb's to find in your neck of the woods?

Me either. Nice truck and onpurchasing a sweet lookin truck!

sameyrasmea72 · 02-09-2009, 10:56 PM

Awesome short bed !!!! Was it originally solid orange?

71swb4x4 · 02-09-2009, 11:00 PM

I must say, I am skeptical of this Timberliner talk. That being said, I have been skeptical of a lot of things that have turned out true. Tell us more!

I am willing to bet the white box is an electric brake controller.

**68350** · 02-10-2009, 12:32 AM

thanks for compliments guys. The timberliner package was a one dealership package(T and W Chevrolet in Missoula Montana). T and W Chevy is gone but the current chevrolet dealer in missoula still has specialty pickups. I have heard one is called the grizzly package(for the montana grizzlies football team), so I believe the history I have been provided with is accurate. The package brightened the truck up quite a bit. This is probably the only that is still around. When I get it I will take pictures of the emblems, they are identical to longhorn emblems except they say timberliner.

Plans are to just fix the little rust that it has and restore it to original(im gonna add tilt and power steering for comfort). These trucks are getting difficult to find for sale, but the fact that this one was soooooo nice and I was able to look at it in person and drive it, sealed the deal for me.

The white box is something to do with brakes as the truck was used to pull a trailer its entire life.

**68350** · 02-10-2009, 12:35 AM

Oh yeah, it was solid orange to begin with and dealing on ebay can be a hassle, but since it's about 5 miles from my house, it made things a lot easier.

67_C-30 · 02-10-2009, 12:37 AM

WOW! That is an awesome find. Was that upper trim unique to the Timberliner package?

67CHIP72 · 02-10-2009, 12:39 AM

Cool. Is the upper trim different? I'd like to see a close up pic of the Timberliner emblem when you get it. I like seeing the different dealer installed packages and bumpers. Try to get some sleep, I know your mind will be racing until you get it home.

**68350** · 02-10-2009, 12:45 AM

Yes the upper trim is not regular upper trim. It is a lot thinner and I am not sure how its held on, but I bet it's 3m tape or something. The other bumper guard is there, just need the bracket to hold it on the bumper.

**Joesjunk** · 02-10-2009, 12:41 PM

Interesting truck, Looks pretty good!!!

**Hart_Rod** · 02-10-2009, 03:39 PM

Cool truck.

72BlckButy · 02-10-2009, 09:33 PM

That is a great find, nice buy!

But.... we need some more pics when you get it home.

**68350** · 02-10-2009, 11:00 PM

More pics on thursday when we pick it up. Then I'll get my brother to take some more when he gets it back to williston.

**chevy71super** · 02-11-2009, 12:17 AM

I remember T&W Chevrolet. Went to school in Missoula in the 70's.
