I bought this truck for my oldest son back in the 80'ies and have forgotten what year it was exactly .. think it's a 72 ,but not sure.

Also ,this color Grey was a very tough hard paint and I believe it was thought to be a paint the State Vehicles were painted as a whole fleet for a city ..Not sure about this either and maybe some on here can add something to this that was told to us about the paint color back when my son owned the truck..

Sad to say ,,my son was t-boned by a drunking driver and the truck was totaled out .. He bought the truck from the Insurance company and took off what he wanted and the rest was taken to the junk yard for scrap..
Beings my son was not hurt in the crash except for a few bruises ,,,we have always felt more sorry for the great truck he lost.. papa Larry
