I wasn't looking for another truck....
 

I don't know if some of you saw this on E-bay but when I did I just had to have it. I probably paid to much but I am excited none the less. I am going to pick it up this weekend.

Wow that's one pretty truck. it looks all done is it? congrats on the new find

Beautiful, original looking 68. Looks like you just drove it off the showroom (except maybe the sliding rear window). Give us the details or post the ebay addy. Please tell me you're not going to chop/shave/slam this beauty!!!

Looks like a clean truck. Can't wait to see it. Congrats to ya.:D

ya I saw that one very clean and h as a 6 in it!

That is a funny comment on the please don't chop, lower, etc.! The real beauty of this truck is that all that I have to do is fix the interior and I am done.

score! these trucks in that nice of shapoe dont grow on trees ya know, i doubt you overpaid for it

good luck

breeh, thank's for posting the ebay listing. I don't think you paid too much. I've seen 'em in much worse condition than this one for more money. Let us know more after you pick it up.

Breeh to the wife " I don't know honey he just followed me home!" LOL nice truck looks like a pretty good deal:cool: :bowtie: :canada:

Oh yea i forgot - you need to change your signature. hehehe!

I was watching (and drooling over) that auction too but just for the fun of it. Congrats on your purchase. That's a really nice 68. I don't think the price is too far out of line either.

Well, I might as well put my 2 cents in, YA DONE GOOD!!!! Nice find at a decent price. Keep us posted on what you decide to do with it. Oh, and by the way, have someone take a pic of that big grin on your face when you get it! :bowtie:

Cool! Looks great! I've always loved the look of a stock looking 67-72 4x4. I don't think you payed to much either, over here in the Northeast that would be an awsome deal!

Thanks for the reinforcement on my decision to buy the truck. I will show this thread to my wife and maybe she won't be so ticked anymore:mad:

:bowtie: You didn't pay to much for that truck, You stole it :bowtie: Nice Truck :) :) :) :)

:cool: I honestly believe that you got an awsome deal!!!

Going to Portland this weekend...need help bringing it back? I'll be happy to help you drive it back...PLEASE...PLEASE? BTW, could you stop in Salem and pick up a burby tank for me...LOL! You got an awesome deal...don't even think about second guessing yourself on that one!

thats a amazing truck.........looks like a fresh canvas to me

NICE TRUCK -- LOOKS LIKE A BARGAIN PRICE TO ME. IT'S AWFUL EASY TO DUMP (I MEAN INVEST) 8 OR 10 GRAND IN ONE OF THESE TRUCKS, TO MAKE THEM PRESENTABLE & DEPENDABLE NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE.:bowtie:

WOW...A short, step, 4X4 like that...........You Stole it!!!!~!!:D :D :D :D
BTW, you will never loose money on that truck! Its value will only increase.
(edit)
Do yourself a favor, Get it appraised and insure it for its value. This will also protect you incase something awful happens.

I am not a huge fan of stepsides but the short bed 4X4 Step looks sweet to me. I wouldn't change a thing. Not even the tires. You got a good deal there.

I saw this auction and I'm sure I recognize this truck (local to me). Sellers feedback had too many negatives for me (looks like dealer/reseller). I think this truck sat in yard of long time owner with little use for about 10 years. It was driven some and finally disappeared 1-2 years ago. Truck lived in neighborhood of lots of big deciduous trees (watch vents for clogging and buildup of leaves, etc.) I liked it as an original truck hope you get the truck with value as you assume. With these types of things get good email communications is a must. If you decide to loose the 6 cylinder let me know. Anything else I can do drop me a line.

cheyenne10, thanks for the background. I was concerned about the negative feedback also. I decided that I wouldn't pay for it until I get down there and look at it. If it turns out to not be as advertised then I will not complete the auction. I would rather risk the negative feedback then lay out $5 k for something that is not as advertised.

I wouldn't worry "too" much about those neg. feedbacks. The problem with selling older vehicles is everyone expects more out of the car than it really is. You just can't make everyone happy. Besides, 7 neg feedbacks out of almost 500 isn't all that bad. Good luck though, I hope she's as mint as the pic looks! :cool:

breeh, very sweet looking truck. You might be interested in some of the info from the 1968 Chevrolet Data Book.
