I couldn't help myself.. I have a soft spot.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-28-2018, 01:13 AM

It's not my fault really. You put a short bed 4X4 in front of me to buy... Well this was the result..

Greg58 · 03-28-2018, 02:26 AM

What shortbed? I just see an empty trailer!

Jealous. 4x4 anything is love for me. Not sure those straps are regulating much fore and aft movement, but that's me.

**special-K** · 03-28-2018, 05:39 AM

Look what happens when you let something sit out long enough in coastal Washington.

Nice find. I see a lot of potential through that camo job.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-28-2018, 11:01 AM

The first picture shows only how I got it out of where it was to finnish securing it. Before I drug it 50 miles home, I had straps on both ends 2 pulling the truck forward and 2 pulling the truck back. More than enough to do the job, but sufficient to pass a state patrol inspection. I drove truck for over 20 years and 15 of those were pulling a flatbed. Thanks for the advice but I had it handled.. LOL.

Nice find! When you said soft spot, first place I was thinking was your head but now that I see what you did, I completely understand! I think we all have that soft spot on our heads!

Looking forward to see this once its done! Nice Play CH!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-28-2018, 12:28 PM

Thanks Artofdeath. No soft spots in the head... Although my wife might argue that point..

special-K, Believe it or not, this is an original Arizona truck. Probably why it has original A/C. However it has spent many years up here and it had to be drug out of the bushes that grew up around it..

Greg58, I know right!! If it weren't for being able to see the grill in my mirror I would have been pulling over a bunch of time to make sure it was still there..

I ordered some parts from Classic Heartbeat a few weeks ago. Rear shock brackets and u-bolts to mount them. Very pleased with the service I received. I highly recommend them.

p.s. Nice truck(s)!

**jeffahart** · 03-28-2018, 05:41 PM

Fun! Hey, you should give me that grill. I will give you one to match the paint on your new truck. You're welcome!

I washed it today.. I don't know if it looks better or worse..

Ptjsk · 03-29-2018, 12:39 AM

Beautiful find!

And it looks to be an original dark green besides?

Damn, I'm envious!!

yuccales · 03-29-2018, 07:17 AM

That's a great old camping rig! I'd run it as is.

**zicc1835** · 03-29-2018, 08:10 AM

Definitely a stand alone one of a kind signature type calling card .......

54blackhornet · 03-29-2018, 04:23 PM

Looks like it sat next to a painting shop ? Used it to clean out the paint guns each day !.......only in the North West

**Dieselwrencher** · 03-29-2018, 05:09 PM

What a nice find. A 69 it looks like? Those are getting scarce!
