Unfortunately the muffler was replaced, she told me it developed a rust hole. But all the pipe is original. I'll try to get a few pics tomorrow

I'm interested in seeing that, too. I think the exhaust on mine is original, but its so cool to have your's to use as a standard. Mine has lots of small rust holes from sitting around, but the pipes look like factory bent pieces.

very nice

it would be very hard too recreate that no matter what kind of sheetmetal/paint expert one is

70blackfish · 09-02-2013, 09:45 PM

very nice

**Harleys 4 You** · 09-02-2013, 10:13 PM

I'm thinking I might have sold you that truck for less than I should have!

I'm glad to see you're taking such good care of it. I was afraid it might go to someone who wouldn't have kept it stock. What a shame if someone got it and c-notched it.

ItWillBeSlow · 09-02-2013, 10:39 PM

What is the paint code on this truck? Is that medium blue?

SS Tim · 09-02-2013, 11:58 PM

The truck codes as a 542 white/medium blue conventional two-tone on the SPID. The body color is the 510 medium blue.

It's in good hands here

. I have put less than 100 miles on it since I bought it from you though. I think I'm going to drive it to the truck nationals this Saturday

What is the silver stripe on the driver side floor?

I believe that is where the factory placed the radio delete plate when painting the truck. I have the same outline on my floor, and it has radio delete.

I can top that. Look what I found in cab corner of last truck I parted. But really that's the most spectaculous close to virgin truck I've seen.

I know this is a very old thread but is there a post that tells the story of this truck, why was it not driven and so perfectly preserved?

**Chevy Fan Always** · 05-28-2015, 04:11 PM

That is downright beautiful...a photo of history.

**Tim Christian** · 05-28-2015, 04:24 PM

Wow!

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 05-28-2015, 04:42 PM

2K miles? That's a whole 44 miles per year...............

At this rate "you'll" hit 100K miles in the year 4193. It may be difficult to locate parts to rebuild that engine, though "you" probably don't have to worry about it.

mcbassin · 05-28-2015, 04:49 PM

Incredible! I bet you put on the white gloves to work on this one

SCHRUMGMC · 05-28-2015, 07:11 PM

Love it

LPoole · 05-28-2015, 07:57 PM

Hey, that is one nice floor. Looks better than the paint on the outside of my truck also lol. If you didn't do that someone did a heck of a job. Or is that original condition ?

**Boog** · 05-28-2015, 07:59 PM

That is an extreme rarity fellas. Most people with one so new would just park it and dust it off now and then, but never drive it to keep it new. There aren't many out there like that to go around.

I'll try and keep it short, woman ordered it new, hardly used it, kept it garaged. She passed away and left it to a grandson who was young. When the grandson got to be of age he was in trouble with the law so they never let him have it. They just kept it sitting in a garage all these years and finally let it go.

This truck is compleltly original, including all the paint. Today it still has less than 2400 original miles.
