Since January, I've been noticing that this 1969 Chevy Truck is for sale. The owner, here in Alexandria, is asking $3,500 OBO. There is a note in the truck window about the specs - it's a four-speed, and he's done quite a bit of work on the engine to get this into condition and keep it running. It's a good looking truck.
We kind of need one for errands and such at the cabin, and I don't think I'll find a bargain like my neighbor Terry did (see post from last year "Terry's New Truck"). Probably will ask my Uncle Tim - the Rat Rod builder, what he thinks.
There is also a vintage 1972 GMC truck for sale in the neighborhood. That one has original paint and is in great condition, body-wise, but the asking is $14,000. I don't think I'd be hauling my recycling in that one.
Reader's opinions are welcomed. Your remarks may help me talk Mary into it.

With that combination of engine and differential ratio, I would guess that you're in the 7 - 10 mpg range. If you're lucky. Sometimes it's not about practicality though; I'm looking at Harley-Davidson motorcycles and I just bought a Jeep. Go Figure. The Rat Rod builder would have a lot to say about that engine I suspect.
Good luck and how's Gracie?
