Back yard find - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's my find of the year. It's a short fleet with no rust holes, original paint, a few small dings, straight floor, good tailgate. I guess it was just my day! I finally found one of those back yard deals!

Was it one of those truck beds and frame turned into a trailer?

oh man im sooo jelious..there are no deals like that around here...everything is scooped up

Myride · 01-22-2003, 08:14 PM

nice score

MandarinSixSeven · 01-22-2003, 08:36 PM

ya either scooped up, or some old scrooge hoarding the parts saying "No way im selling that, I'm gonna restore it someday" The restore part is cool, but its the SOMEDAY that pisses me off, you know they arent gonna even give it the time of day and it will continue to rot until its useless, and meanwhile its already been there for 20 years in the elements with trees sprouting from it!
such a shame

wanna sell it?

HuggerCST · 01-23-2003, 10:05 AM

Meathead95- No, I think I'll keep this one for my 4x4, but I have 2 more that I was saving that I will sell now. They are not as straight as this one, but are pretty rust free. PM me if you are interested. I'll probably put them on the parts board when I can get some pics.
