I'm beginning to think the ad was created by a Graphic Design student for a college project. When I was in the program(Graphic Arts) at Long Beach State, I used a pic of my Dad's '73 Bronco for an assigned project, made to look like a vintage ad. I have been looking high and low for this ad with no success. I hope it's real and you or somebody finds a copy soon! I'll keep searching.

That`s a good one.

I got directions to this shop that supposedly had a copy of the ad. I got there and went inside but all the proprietor did was stand there staring in to space.

**special-K** · 07-14-2007, 10:11 AM

I know of this ad you seek.It is hidden in the land of the giant blue cyclops.Bring me back his eye and I will tell you where it is hidden.For,I too,am a collector of rare treasures.

**FleetsidePaul** · 07-17-2007, 11:59 AM

I checked all the ad vendors at the Pomona Swap Meet this last Sunday

And guess what I found (drum roll )

Nothing....

I can't believe what a tough one this is.

**special-K** · 07-17-2007, 12:54 PM

I had one layin`around here somewhere...now,where did I leave it

One of my buds thought his girlfriend had a copy of this ad. However I am beginning to doubt he has a girlfriend.

I may have the ad your looking for. My mother in law is a packrat and has saved everything since 1966! My wife brought home a big (like 200) pile of these old magazines. So far I have paged through about 20 of them and have found 5-6 67-72 truck ads. I believe one of them was the ad you pictured. I will check this week and let you know. If it is the right ad I will send you the whole magazine so I don't f@#k it up trying to get it out. The process won't be simple. First I will have to sort out just the 1972 magazines then visit every page in each of them. Dave

I saw an ad with a two tone dark green and white Short Fleet K/10 once.

This has been a great thread... But in case Dave does not come through, I think I found the solution, you just have to look real hard:

I recently went on a safari to search for this ad.

I knew we were close with all of the keep out signs. They only put these up when there is something good that they're trying to hide!

dave3156 · 08-05-2007, 07:59 AM

I still am looking through magazines. I have gone through about 50 now. I have found a 71 ad and an ad with a 69 in it. Still 150 to go! Also some awesome car ads. These magazines go all the way back to 1960! Neat stuff. It will take some time to look through them. They are Look, Life, Redbook. Also some Popular Mechanics from 1977. Alot of truck ads in the Popular Mechanics if anybody needs something from 1977. Just post here what you need and I can let your know if I see them, since I'm looking through them all! I'll keep you posted.

**special-K** · 08-19-2007, 11:08 PM

Man,with artistic talent like that,I`m surprised you haven`t made your own.Let`s see what you can do.
Did you capture that wild thing while on safari?Nice trophy there

Hmmm, It's got wheels and it's old but it's still not my truck!

**special-K** · 08-25-2007, 09:59 PM

Asa,I`m torn two ways here.I`d love to see you find this ad and I hope after all this that it`s a perfect example,truly.But,I`m buckin`for the 5th page to roll around and I`m really enjoying this thread.So,if you do find it anytime soon could you keep it to yourself and keep posting at least a few more until this hits page 5?That would be really great and you may find more if you do.Thanks from a loyal member of your ad search task force.Our motto,"We don`t search,we find!"Hoowah!!!
