Couldn't have gone to a more deserving original paint guru. Awesome original and the lowest mile truck I know of at the moment.

[Joesjunk]

Thanks guys! This truck is trully amazing, and needs to been seen in person. I love low mile survivor trucks, and I'm a hug fan of original paint. I never thought I would own something like this! And its my favorite color too :-)

Right on! Glad it went to a good home!

[mcbassin]

Congratulations Joe! You got a good price I think. I know how much it costs to build a high quality truck. This one has lower mileage than just about everybody's. I hope you put together a thread with lots of pictures.

I'm glad we talked before the bidding war....

So which one in your collection, are you selling now?
Any of the C30 trucks?

[Sicklajoie]

That's great news. Congrats!

[special-K]

Congratulations Joe. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. When ya opening a museum?

Joe? Sell a truck?? Now that really is rare!

[72ironmike]

Joe, How many 67-72's have you owned ? Did you tell me that this is your first shortbed ? LOL, After all these years of trucks, you just now got your shortbed cherry popped ? That is a "GORGEOUS TRUCK" & incredibly collectible. You are the perfect owner for such a collectible. Do you want me to email you the next truck I see on ebay that suits your collector needs ?

Call me when you are hauling thru my area of I-35 next weekend & nice knowing the Truck Museum is only 40 minutes away ! Can't wait to see this truck at some shows. Mike.

GREAT news Joe!!!!!!!! Congrats, if you need to sell something I may be interested in your duramax

[72cheyenneman]

Good deal, Joe, and congratulations! I watched this go off last night and like I said, if I had room, you and me would have been in a bid war because I hate to lose

I hope you post plenty of pictures up with lots of detail, as I'm really interested about tag information and markings. Maybe one day I could come up and take a look at the truck when I'm going through Kansas to visit family (I'm a Topeka boy).

By the way, I'd like to know when you plan to open your museum, too! Congratulations, Casey

Joesjunk knows survivor trucks as well as anyone on this board and he plans to look at it Saturday. I'll bet Joe owns it next week.

I knew Joe would be the next owner!!! See my prediction above!!! I'm stoked for you Joe!!!

My guess is the 3rd vehicle up from the bottom in his sig, and of course the last one that says for sale. I think he'll hang on to the good stuff.

Congrats also, us purists are also relieved that this excellent example of a '71 base model will remain unaltered and history will be preserved. This is one of those "Freeze Frame" vehicles. You can't just buy a new Chevy pickup with painted white bumpers and hubcaps anymore ( Chevy stopped this tradition over 30 years ago). During the 70's the base model trucks seemed to dissappear while loaded down gingerbread trucks became the majority. A complete reversal of the way Chevy used to sell them. The condition on this one trumphs options.Many people fall into the logic: if it doesn't have options it is not valuable.Every truck has value on its strong points. Glad to see history will be preserved with this one.

^ Actually, W/T series trucks came out around 1990 bringing back the economic no chrome base truck with painted bumpers and no frills. I hear what you're saying,but had to set that straight . History never stops. It just gets newer.(I remember when these were new trucks)

[72BlckButy]

Congrats Joe! Can't wait to see it the next time we're in your area.

[ckexswb]

Good Goin.... can't wait to read more.

[19seventeeCustom]

congrats on a excellent purchase!!!!!

[fine69]

Joe has some cool stuff for sure. Packed ever so tightly in his garages.

Now he needs to sell his place and get a larger garage.

Glad the new truck is going to a good home.

[Joesjunk]

Yes, Mike, this is my first short bed. I hope to be able to pick it up this saturday, if the weather is good. The truck will remain 100% stock. I might even add some reproduction bias tires and an AC delco battery. Anyone thats ever in the area is always welcome to stop by and visit. I do have things packed pretty tight in my garages though, so some things can be tough to get a good look at!
