Just found this on ebay. "This is an unbelievable truck and Has MANY RARE option." What rare options does it have? No radio, no AC, 6 cyl engine, 4 spd tranny. The only option that I really see is the tilt bed and that was probably dealer installed. I'm not trying to bash this truck as it looks to be a good looking, solid truck. I'm just saying that people need to represent these trucks for what they are. Don't try to dupe people by claiming RARE options that arent there.

I dont like rare trucks....prefer them to be well done.

They're just trying to convince you to buy.

68shortstep · 12-01-2008, 07:38 PM

Also has the rare-optional "rusted all to H*ll wheels," I see.

EVERYTAHING works and works GREAT!!!

Scott Webster · 12-01-2008, 08:35 PM

I would love to have something like that. Gotta love those low mileage all original ones. Whenever I read motivated seller, I just want to buy so much more!

Longhorn Man · 12-01-2008, 08:40 PM

wow.... many rare options indeed! a 4 speed, and guages... that's about it.
An interesting bit, the arm rests.... I'm thinking in 69 they were standard equipment... yet, that one has 67 arm rests on it.

**special-K** · 12-01-2008, 08:44 PM

I think he`s refering to the dump bed.He`s problably never seen a wood floor either.

Longhorn Man · 12-01-2008, 08:47 PM

good call.... tthe wood floor was an option. We are up to 3.
Sorry, if it isn't listed on the SPID with an RPO... it isn't an option. Otherwise I could just as easily say my CD player is an option... or I have a "tow package" on mine becouse of the class 4 hitch. He can't even prove if that is a GM authorized conversion, or after market conversion.

I didn't know you could get a 4 speed with a 6 cyl. I wish mine had that instead of the 3 on the tree. The truck in that auction could use a little tlc and some better pics and the guy should be able to easily sell it.

tcb-1 · 12-01-2008, 09:24 PM

I mean I like it, but for 5k I think I'll go elsewhere.

can't believe with that much rust on the rims, that the undercarriage isn't ate the freak up.

chipflyer · 12-01-2008, 09:33 PM

Some peoples kids.....

theyammieguy · 12-01-2008, 10:20 PM

I see it all the time with people trying to sell bikes. Custom this and custom that and it's all production line parts. People even try to pass off Kury ISO grips as custom grips which are the most common aftermarket grips out there. Custom chrome which is all factory.
I just laugh.

sorry... mediocre is giving that thing too much credit. Anyone who believes that thing has just surface rust is in for a RUDE awakening.

I would like to get this guy to list my for sale items. He could make anything sound like a real bargain.

An almost identical 72 (but a Longhorn) Low miles original owner and was even red went for 11K at an autction a couple of years back. I was shocked at what it went for. Had the dump bed too.
