Yur killin me!!!! Im so jealous!!

There’s another one up just across the border here. Same color, arguably better condition. Not horribly priced.
You’d freak out, out here. This truck might get a couple thumbs up as is, but fairly common to see decent to nice old squares both in daily use and car shows.

Buddys truck. Bought it from his bro in law probably 20 years ago for not much money cause it was old and needed repairs. lol.
It literally sits outside 24/7/365 and still in good shape.

Ya, the condition of vehicles was surprising to me as well, and my theory is (coastal only, different as soon as you hit the mtns and east of that) no road salt because it rarely freezes (in recent years they mag the roads whenever it’s NOT raining in the winter because it’s damp and frosty and people can’t drive… but that gets washed off the next day when it rains). Less UV damage since it’s cloudy 200+ days a year and even when sunny, most areas are heavily treed and shaded. Lastly, 6-8months of wet/rainy weather basically gives every vehicle an undercarriage wash every time it gets up to highway speeds for those wet months.
And ultimately I feel tires and brakes last longer here than other areas. Attributed to the same 6+ months of wet roads = naturally less aggressive acceleration and braking by default.
As to the number of old GM trucks. Idk it must have been Chevy country back in the day. Squares, 67-72 and GMT 400s literally outnumber Fords and Dodges together from the same eras by a bunch. Not as much into the 90s models but 60s -80s for sure.

Interior sneak peak. Son cleaned it up a bit sent me a pic of the “good” side. Lol. Yea that’s the original dash pad. 1 little crack in the speaker area.
Needs carpet and some matching caps with the fancy scroll work for the ends of the pull handles.
Have 3 of 4 pieces. Only 2 are good enough to stay in place.

I think I still have a couple of those pull strap covers. I'll look when I unload the trailer, coming back home from the show this weekend.
