Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

A lady I work with went back to her hometown to help her parents.
They auctioned off many items including this truck.
Her dad bought it new when she was around 6 years old.

Crane on the back bumper?

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

Yep.
K20
She learned to drive in that truck.
She said it was hard to let it go.

Looks like 1/2 ton rear axle. Nevertheless, cool old truck. Any info of the truck camper in the background in the shed?

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

You're correct. I missed that.
I don't know anything about anything in those pictures. She emailed them to me.

Neat truck and potentially a super sweet deal at that price. I too noticed the garaged slide-in camper unit in the picture. Been looking for one of those in well preserved condition, and they are not easy to find. Please ask your friend if they still have it.

Dang, I was hoping nobody noticed that.... ;) I agree, very hard to find. And that's a Mitchell. Wonder if it's a Little Sioux or a longer, over the tail one. It looks very clean. Good luck. Let me know if you pass :)) (I've been looking for a little sioux for a long time - they're almost all in CO, where Mitchells were mfgr'ed, and I made the horrible mistake of passing on a cherry one. Been lookin ever since, ha).

I wish they would’ve put a big bumper on it

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

I love it!!

tired of all the lowered grocery carts many of these trucks are turning into..

a real live working truck that appears to be well cared for.. thanks for posting!

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

She doesn't quite remember what year it is.
Is there a way to tell if it's a 60 vs 61?

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

The grill and turn signal pods are 1960.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

yes, agree a 60 - a 61 has chev letters in the grille and bow tie (or at least that's how I see them...) turn signals

PTO winch & Tow Bar Brackets!

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

I know we're getting way off track here, but I'm pretty sure with the headache rack and all the other accessories on that truck, and it being a short bed, I seriously doubt that slide in camper was in it. Now I'm wondering what it was in. She didn't by chance send you a copy of the sale bill from the auction did she?

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

I'll ask her about it next week at work.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

Only a couple of photos but truck appears to sit up. Looks like a factory 4 wheel drive especially with the bumper wench. Not enough iformation but could be the deal of the day. Great color also.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

I asked. She said it also sold at the Estate auction. She said she thinks the camper went for about $2000-3000.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

Thank you for asking.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

Here is an old pic of her dad.
And an old pic of the truck.
I love stuff like this.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

cool foto(s) and someone made out on a deal on the truck also

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

Me too. Great stuff!

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

The daughter told me this week the guy who bought it needs to sell it for financial reasons.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

How much ?

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

I'll ask her tomorrow.

Re: Sold at Colorado Auction for $8000
 

She said $12,000. She said he's done some work on it.
It's located in Walden, CO.

I don't want this thread to become a WTB thread.
Let's keep it more like the "Craigslist Finds" thread. I'll see if I can get her to get him to advertise it on CL, and then I can post the link to his truck in our 'CL Finds' thread.
