Crossing my fingers
 

What do you guys think? Might come home with me. One owner truck from CA. Don't want to jinx it, but I had to post about it. Won't be able to sleep tonight.

Nice truck! Wish I had it!

Love it. That chalky oxidation will come right off, and the original paint will shine like you wouldn't believe, with a good paint cleaner like Maguires cleaner wax or Zymol paint cleaner wax.

By the way, is there any chance this is maybe a '69 with a 71/72 grille and mirrors? Not that it matters. Just interesting.

Here are a few clues that I see

1. Light blue paint (at least the shade I'm thinking of) wasn't made after '69. Now, I might be seeing a different shade, due to screen and camera variances
2. Door panels don't look like 71/72
3. I don't see the screw hole in the upper door like on 71/72
4. Rear view mirror isn't window stick on

Edit. I might be thinking too much of the 72's. Hard to say

Heck I'd get it, The Gauge cluster looks different..Mister B my Mirror is Bolted to the Cab's roof?, I guess some can be Stick on...but this truck is very nice, looks like one hell of a project..Good luck, hope you get it bud

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Yeah, it might just be 72 that had the stick on mirror.

You ARE thinking '72.
That's a '71.

71 for sure no vent window screws and mirror is on cab roof. Gas pedal also is on the fire wall mount. Nice find.;):chevy:

Why does it have the 3 Gauge ?

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Probably just ordered that way as a bare bones type truck.

None the less that truck is a pretty clean one!!!!

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Mine was like that until I converted it. Bone stock C-10.

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

I think it was all blue at one time. A pillars and window frames would be white with a white roof.

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Most trucks ordered this way back then!;):chevy:

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Cool truck. Hope the deal goes through for you...

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Sweet 1971 truck you've found, GOOD LUCK, hope you get it!!!

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Did you get it ? A little bit of elbow grease and that will look real nice.

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

I won't find out until tonight.

I just noticed the brake pedal doesn't look right? Was it a stick originally?

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Joe, I wonder if its a 3 speed, column looks like a manual column

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

brake pedal looks like 1973 to 87

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

I have the long bed brother of it! Mine isn't 100 percent original but pretty close. I repainted the wheels and caps and I forgot that the centers were black I see. Looks like a great truck I hope you get it.

Re: Crossing my fingers
 

Very nice...hope you get it!
