It is BEYOND COOL - - - that truck is THE PERFECT GUIDELINE for any of us restoring one of these trucks. Shows how things are supposed to look. Don't know if you read or not, but it still had all the tags on the engine bay. Unbelievable find with 14,000 miles.69rangerf100 wrote:thats pretty cool

Re: YA'LL WON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE - AWESOME FIND
I've been studying the pics
and I don't think there is a bolt on that truck that has ever had a wrench on it, truly amazing find.

Re: YA'LL WON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE - AWESOME FIND
Now THIS IS REALLY GETTING INTERESTING - must be a "chop shop" somewhere around that is putting out these trucks!!
Your co-workers truck is REALLY NICE TOO! And that is an interesting coincidence - both blue too.
