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

Sklptrljay · 09-02-2013, 12:51 PM

Ok, now you're just rubbing it in.

farmall · 09-02-2013, 01:30 PM

What the story on the color of the trim on the top of the door panels? My 71 is a silver gray with a blue panel (white w blue int). I am getting ready to refinish these.

I was always under the assumption they were painted the door panel color? On Cheyenne and CST trucks it was chrome (and it was different)

That is drop dead gorgeous! If we all could be that lucky. ..I assume that gas cap is original? Why wouldn't it be with the rest of the truck original? I've never seen one like that

Those caps were only available in '71 and '72, and don't fit '70 and older tanks.

Gee thanks for rubbing it in!

I have dishes that are less than a year old, that are not that clean!

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

Looks awesome Joe!!!!!!!!! Hey it was great to see you the other night, sorry I was rushed. We'll talk more up at Pierce, Ne in a few weeks.

**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.

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 paint code on this truck? Is that medium blue?
Posted via Mobile Device

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.

C10_ustacould · 05-28-2015, 02:49 PM

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?

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.

Thanks for sharing, very cool new... er, old truck!

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.
