Not mine. Seems like a very good deal though.

trucks age very nicely in that area (very dry climate). i'd be tempted to make a drive if i wasn't in the middle ofa flip. looks like a nice truck.

I believe that's a 3/4 ton.

Looks good though.

I'd be surprised if it's actually 30K original miles but it does look like a very nice clean straight unmolested 3/4T truck. Appears to have 16.5" bias ply tires -- don't see those very often. And factory A/C. Someone needs to check that one out.

Yeah, likely little more than wishful thinking.... but you have to be careful what you wish for!

I'd go look at it regardless of the sellers mileage claim. The pictures show rust free sheet metal and that's all that matters to me. Price is right too.

franken · 06-14-2015, 02:13 AM

Even at 130k, AC, 8-track, spotlight, no rust showing, I'd buy it just to drive a while and get my money out of it. Kidding on the 8-track. My last Jethro Tull tape was eaten...

It has a sandalwood steering wheel in remarkably good condition. Most of them that saw any sunlight at all have almost totally disintegrated. I would guess that cab has been sheltered from the sun for much of it's life, either by a camper, or carport/garage.

*edit* -- on second look that could be a saddle steering wheel. Kind of hard to tell by the picture, but if it matches the glovebox door, I guess it's saddle, not sandalwood as first thought.

I like how it has alot of options, then you see the basic gauge package with warning lights, Very cool.

I saw that on CL yesterday when I was driving through Redding. But, I didn't think it would drive back to Texas.

It would have made it to chico! Than I could have stored it for you. (It might have had a few more miles on it though

)

Just realized that truck is in board member AirSpeed's back yard. Well, not literally, but same town....

I bet it will be on its way to the East Coast very fast (even with 130K)! Has original CA blue- yellow plates ( first year '72 for commercial, '71 for autos). Looks very unaltered, even has the once common sight on pickups: traction tread on rear, highway tread on front.
