Seems like everywhere I go around Portland lately I'm seeing cool stuff.

**HO455** · 03-10-2019, 05:09 PM

I'm pretty sure this is a second sighting. First one is post 154. Poor old girl is just about done for. Although it looks as if the trailer tongue has failed.
Sorry about the photo quality. The wind was howling.

What a mess! The cab over part of the camper shell is cab onto, and the tongue on the trailer, as you have noted, has failed. I have a load equalizing hitch on my truck that makes it so that the rear is actually higher when towing, to transfer some weight onto the front springs. This truck doesn't have that, plus it looks a bit overloaded with all the stuff on the roofs and who knows what else inside.

**Boog** · 03-10-2019, 09:09 PM

That's a plain and simple case of abuse right there.

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-11-2019, 08:14 AM

That almost hurts to see it.

**MDPotter** · 03-13-2019, 05:51 PM

Saw this K15 Sierra Grande in Hotchkiss, CO. $10K seems like a lot though. Couldn't get a good interior picture as the doors were locked and I don't know how to flip pictures after they're saved to my phone.

Darn nice looking truck.

This afternoon in Grass Valley. Good looking rig with 2000's style Sierra/Silverado aluminum wheels.

$2,000 of that asking price is wrapped up into that A/C block off plate/electrical engineering masterpiece going on there!

**Boog** · 03-16-2019, 12:31 AM

Yeah, what's that all about?

It looks to be abandoned - I don't see any large conductors running to it. Either way, it is a feat of engineering!

Madkidd007 · 03-18-2019, 01:31 PM

I got one. At a buddy’s shop and he said he’s seen it before loader with lumber to the rails. Two tone green GMC

I found this truck on Facebook marketplace - it's going to auction and here are some details from the listing: 188k on original 307 engine, runs off propane or gas, and has all options available in 1972.

**landarts** · 03-20-2019, 09:49 AM

Went out to look at a truck I saw posted on Craigslist yesterday. This truck was in the middle of a residential neighborhood and I noticed a few more cars and trucks through a opening in the high wood fence. I asked if any of the vehicles over there were for sale and this is what was behind the fence. For the rest of the story head over to this thread if interested http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=783579

So here is the legend for the map provided below:

I think there may be some more serious events from looking at the pictures. This is clearly a 3 bedroom home masquerading as a Classic Chevy truck with a camper and a trailer. I feel bad for all parties involved including the truck.

Well said.

**HO455** · 04-08-2019, 11:17 PM

2 more seen about town last week. Out near the Grotto and in Kenton coming home from the swap meet on Sunday. Sure glad the rain held off till I got back to the truck.

Is this too old to bother sharing here?
