Slowly things are coming back through conversations and photos that friends and family ( whom are all here on the West Coast) have been sending me. Thank you for posting those pic's! Several memories are flooding back to me now. I will PM you with more details and will need your PayPal to reimburse you for your expenses

that's cool,
this tops on one of the best scores!!!!!

Absolutely!!!

likaroc13 · 11-07-2013, 12:41 AM

Wow, congrats! (about the only two words necessary)

.....awesome find, & almost too hard to believe!

1963chevyshort · 11-07-2013, 01:18 AM

You got one hell of a deal. Looks in really good shape

**Captainfab** · 11-07-2013, 01:51 AM

I should say you're REALLY lucky. I agree that you should go buy a lottery ticket.

donthekawguy · 11-07-2013, 07:35 AM

You can get a title thru the VT DMV for around $100 if it isn't stolen or have a lien on it. I'll try to find the link to the instructions and post it up. When I come across good deals that need a title I snatch them up and poof a month later I have a VT registration and I take it to the local DMV and two weeks later a clear Idaho title. They will look at you funny when you have your address on a VT registration but if it's clear it's clear.

Here it is-

Sillyoldman · 11-07-2013, 07:43 AM

Dang! They don't get much better than that!

DURG · 11-07-2013, 07:58 AM

I live in Maine and have a nice aluminum Featherlite trailer and cash if you decide to flip it. I don't need a title to register it in Maine either. Jus' sayin' Good luck with the truck!

65Gregg · 11-07-2013, 10:22 AM

I can hear Dino & Delmo planning a East Coast run for a new project..LOL

My uncle is the original owner of a 1972 Monte Carlo, and it came from the factory with those exact same hubcaps. They are still on the car today.

What's confusing me is that I believe the Monte has 14" wheels, and I'm sure a Corvette (and that truck) have 15" wheels. I'm going over to his house this weekend to work on my truck, so I'll check it out...maybe my memory is just wrong and they are 15" hubcaps.

Nice!

For those of you not to good at my retarded version of pictograms or hi-ro-glyphics: I'm shocked, upset, mad, jealous, happy, sad.....and congratulations.
Whew, that was an emotional rollercoaster!

Improbcat · 11-07-2013, 10:39 PM

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Right now the truck is stored snugly in my garage waiting for some time to dig into it. I did disassemble the driver's door so I could get the slim-jim unstuck from the door and remove the door handle so I can open the door from the outside.
My g/f is going to be away for the weekend, so I suspect I will spend pretty much all of the weekend cleaning the truck and seeing if I can get it running.
