Very nicely bought. I love ochre trucks. The invoice reminds me of a fellow I worked for as a young man. He had a bare bones 1969 six/3 ott , long bed and in late august of 72, all the dealers were slashing prices on leftover 72s, he decided to buy. I went with him to Jack Wilson's in Paducah and they had a left over Ochre 307/auto. It was a custom deluxe with air. I wanted him to buy it so I could have air when we were in the tobacco patch. He haggled them down to $3000 even . I thought the deal was sealed and then he bought a 73 six/ 3 ott for $2999. That truck was crap. Reason, it was the last time he said that he could buy a new truck off the showroom floor for less than 3K. Boy was he ever right.
