where was your truck originally sold? - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

65-72 chevytoys · 04-29-2007, 10:31 PM

My truck was sold to
Charles Brarns by Royal Chevrolet in Huntsville, AL on March 20, 1972

I have the original dealer's paperwork envelove, protecto-plate, and service manual with the previous owners wrote the date and mileage of every oil, filter, plugs, and points change all the way up to 110,545 miles on May 18, 1985. On the inside cover of the envelope was 1997 engine rebuild 220,000 miles. Since the odometer is at 46,600 I am assuming my truck has 246,600 miles on it. The PO that I bout it from is either the 3 or 4th owner and I bought it in Orlando, FL. He also had a 1969 Camaro that he listing on the service manual when he had it service too.

I don't have any paperwork on the 2wd Jimmey but, I bought it in Orlando as well from from board member DownLoHoe. I wish I had more documentation on it like I do on the truck.

my 1967 chevy one ton tow truck was made in baltimore maryland and i am
not sure what the dealership is

70 shorty · 04-30-2007, 08:38 PM

The only info I have on mine is by word of mouth from my uncle who I got the truck from. He says I'm the 4th owner and that it spent most of it's life doing hard labor on a peanut farm in Suffolk, Va, the peanut capital of the world.

BB72CHEVKT · 04-30-2007, 09:13 PM

My 72 was purchased at Mohr Chevrolet in my hometown of Dallas, TX. The original owner lived in Mesquite, TX which at the time was farm land and this a farm truck. Mesquite is now a suburb. I have protecto-plate and owners manual. I purchased from second owner around 94 or 95. They need a truck show called if this cab could talk.

redrum · 04-30-2007, 09:19 PM

Mine is a'69, and was sold by

Ray Shellabarger Chevrolet in Casper Wyo.
I bought it from the first owners son.

68c-10 · 05-01-2007, 08:55 AM

I also have the protecto plate, warenty book that was never used, and the
orginal paper work for my 68 though it has been a while sense I have looked at it.

The orignal owners name was Lister Rose and it sat on the lot for a long time If I remeber right it was sold in 69 and had some mileage on it. ( I figured that the dealership used it as a display or a service truck) The warenty book was never used.
It was built in St Louis and shipped to Colorado I will try to remeber to look and post the dealers name.

Mine was sold from Mustang Chevrolet in San Angelo Texas. Has emblem on fender. Called dealers in San Angelo and found Mustang has sold.

69Chevy3/4ton · 05-01-2007, 11:45 PM

I was told by the previous owner that my truck was purchased at Everett Chevrolet in hickory, nc (http://www.everettchevy.com/ ). This place aslo just happens to be my current place of employment. On a side note there is a guy that has been selling cars long enough that he may have been the salesman of my truck. But who knows..

So you're saying that part in Joe Dirt where the guy from the dealership is able to give him the name of everyone in Louisiana who bought the same model car as his parents in the early 70's ISN'T TRUE????

O'l Buck · 05-02-2007, 08:53 AM

My 72 sold new from the Chevy dealer in Broken Bow, NE. My 67 was sold by the Chevy dealer right here in Alma, NE. They didn't get very far from home!

Look at page 1. That is where my truck came from also. It still has emblem on fender as well.

Biff · 05-02-2007, 11:40 AM

Found the original bill of sale in the glove box with plate. Was sold by:
Voice Motor Sales
Kalkaska, MI
June 22, 1972

I checked on the net and Voice is still there as a Chevy dealership. Cool!

Slammed67 · 05-02-2007, 12:11 PM

My grandfather purchased my '67 GMC new at Westfall GMC in Kansas City, MO. According to their webiste, they've been in business since 1951.

TruckinDaddy · 05-02-2007, 01:23 PM

Mine was bought new by my grandfather in Rockdale, Texas.

There is still a Chevy dealership there, but I don't think it is the same family name anymore.

dave2953 · 05-02-2007, 02:20 PM

Mine was purchased new for $2910.21 from:

Murphy Chevrolet, Inc.
16 Main St.
Canton, NC 28716

I have the original bill of sale and the paperwork for when it was sold to the second owner in 1971. I've also got some workorders for warranty repairs, the owners manual and protect-o-plate book.

Draggn66 · 05-02-2007, 03:35 PM

Well I don't have anything on Paper that backs this up, but the dealer emblem I removed from my tailgate sez "ALEXANDER CHEVROLET Woodbury, TN" And I'm pretty sure it has been on there forever!

Spanky_Pete · 05-02-2007, 06:18 PM

My '67 came from Campbell Chevrolet in Centralia, WA. Sadly, the original owner's widow had thrown out all the paperwork on the truck when I bought it. It still has the dealer sticker below the tailgate.

My father's 71 CustomCamper/20 was bought brand new by my grandfather in 1972 as a dealer leftover. He still has all the documentation for it right down to the window sticker.

It was from a dealer in East Olympia, I don't recall the name.

SacramentoJoe · 05-02-2007, 06:37 PM

My dad bought it in December 1968 from Holiday Oldmobile-Buick-GMC in Roseville, CA. They are not there anymore. My mom says they paid almost $2,800.
