Nice truck, but there is a hick-up in description - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

See if you can find it......Ha! Someone along the way, who knows, has the wrong idea. In fairness, I think I'll send them a message.

Ha ha haaaaaa!, I didn't seen that one. Nice. I saw something else. If you ask me, it's kind of important.

DBK81 · 05-04-2017, 01:45 AM

"Garage kept since new" I have a hard time believing that one.

El Dorado Jim · 05-04-2017, 02:00 AM

maybe that they say it is in original condition....and has just been repainted and new upholstery?

Nope.

midniteblues · 05-04-2017, 02:45 AM

Original Factory "chrome" rally wheels.

Certainly is a nice truck.

**GR8-68** · 05-04-2017, 02:49 AM

57k original miles since new

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 05-04-2017, 02:59 AM

Yeah, but that "original" business is often used loosely anyway. Technically, original is what, battery replaced, 2K miles & still resembles how it came off the floor? I can think of two. One belongs to a board member. Anyway, I've been through SS-tim 101, and there's a "glaring" problem. Either they know it and perhaps using certain wording by their description, or more likely, they don't know what they're selling, meaning a buyer may not recognize it either.

Edit: Come to think of it, I believe there are two problems with the same thing. The other may be a simple error.

**SIXTY9** · 05-04-2017, 03:34 AM

Looks like the wrong mirrors.

I agree, but that's not it. The more you guys point out...They REALLY used the term original loosely......Nice rig though.

Someone will see it. The fenders provide a clue. This old man is off to bed.

Ken B · 05-04-2017, 06:20 AM

Maybe its just the lighting but to me the drivers door looks a shade or two lighter than the rest of the truck.... I'd be willing to bet that there is a ton of parts right out of the LMC catalog on that truck... All in all a pretty nice truck even if the price is getting pretty steep.

**mongocanfly** · 05-04-2017, 06:38 AM

I agree with the paint issue..it appears to be several different shades

dirish · 05-04-2017, 06:49 AM

The side marker lenses are red front and rear, my front are yellow. ?

52napco · 05-04-2017, 07:02 AM

All original ...with 6 cylinder vin

bingo!.............I was wondering about my last post though. Did they put engine emblems on standard trucks?

**special-K** · 05-04-2017, 07:51 AM

This is about the 90th thread on a nice truck offered by a dealer who lists a truck with an inaccurate description as if they know anything more about the truck someone else built than what they paid and how much they want. Isn't that the way for about any dealer? It spent it's whole life in neighboring Georgia and being sold by a Florida dealer. Big deal. Dealers' possession doesn't count as ownership. If that was true then there is no such thing as an original owner. It's a nice truck with a "classic" dealer description. You guys are experts thanks to what you have learned from the knowledgeable few on this site. No need to make a big deal over this truck. We know how dealers are. If you like it, look it over, see through the BS, and either you want it or not. But, we don't do truck bashing here, right? You've flexed your knowledge muscles now relax. It's a decent truck, either you like it or you don't. Bidders seem to like it. Hopefully based on the truck itself and not the dealer's misleading words.

My first thought on "Georgia all its life" was that matters because? Isn't it humid in Georgia?

I agree, dealer possession doesn't count. At least I discount my 71 HA!, so I'm second owner.

I don't think a lot of us are experts, such as on your level, for example, IMO. But we're a work in progress thanks to a btcn website and good people.

I agree we should avoid bashing trucks. I think my intent was fair. I agree with everyone, this is a very nice rig. That said, if I'm a buyer, and many of us are, if the dealer says it's an original 350, it better be an original 350. On a personal level, I provide full disclosure anytime I sell something. I do that for conscious and because it works. As for this sale, it's just misrepresentation, purposely or not and benefit of doubt says not. I agree also, buyer beware.

BTW, speak of "flexing knowledge"

.............isn't the serial number on the VIN supposed to be six digits on a 72? They only show five.

Dude relax lol

**halfstep** · 05-04-2017, 07:02 PM

OK, I'll play
May have been alluded to earlier, but...
If it had the optional 350 engine it would/should have had a "350" emblem under the correct style front fender side marker lens.

bigdog55 · 05-04-2017, 09:06 AM

You don't see the Chevy version of a c10 with leaf springs very often.

bigdog55 · 05-04-2017, 09:19 AM

Isn't the vin number for a GMC and not a Chevy?

hounddogs! · 05-04-2017, 09:44 AM

I'd be much more concerned with the mileage claim. That's a '67 instument cluster. Let's assume that the odometer isn't original to the vehicle.

**CUSTOM/10** · 05-04-2017, 10:09 AM
