Re: Lied and defrauded on 1971 c10 short bed

I talked to a guy this year that had an original (so he thought) 68 swb truck at a car show.
This thing was (in my opinion), a perfect old survivor truck that someone had restored.
He had the entire story from the previous owner on how it made it into his possession.

Long story short,... I asked if I could look at the SPID on the glove box.
This '68 swb truck had 127" wheelbase listed on the SPID.
He was totally floored when I told him what that meant.
It did have an original swb frame,... but the cab and/or glovebox had been swapped.
Either the truck was genuine with a swapped VIN tag and glovebox door,... or someone had built a swb truck out of a lwb truck.
He had no idea.
