Stolen 79 crewcab in Whittier, Ca

This isn't mine but I feel for this guy. You guys on the West coast keep an eye out.

Copied from another forum:

Some of the West Cost guys on here might have already heard, but figured it wouldn't hurt to post anyways....on Saturday morning when Joel got up to go meet everyone for the Cleghorn Run he realized that his truck has been stolen from infront of his house in Whittier....truck is a 1979 Short bed crew cab, 40" BFG KM2's on 20x12 Weld Racing wheels, Dana 60 up front, 14-bolt in the rear, 460 with 5-speed manual, King shocks...please keep an eye out for it or anyparts that might end up for sale

unreal, i can only imagine that it was carried away. just looking at the underside, there seems to have been no expense spared. exhaust i'm sure wasn't on the quiet side, only... could it have fit in a closed trailer...? Not only do i wish i could afford to have mine done up this way, i wish i knew of someone to trust that they could deliver me this quality... and or the fact i knew to ask for all they had! Best of Luck with this search...

Thieves SUCK!!! And KARMA is a B*TCH!!! That being said i would not leave that truck parked outside in southern california or anywhere for that matter. I dont live their anymore but when i did hearing this stuff was an everyday occurance. I feel bad for this guy and hope he gets his truck back period. If he does it belongs in a locked shop with other theft deterants. Fing joke people are these days.

Good thing is, the truck stands out but the bad thing is, the truck may get parted out because anyone who steals a truck like that and thinks they can drive around with it and not get caught is an idiot. I feel bad for the guy and bad for the truck. I do have to wonder also, why a truck like that would be parked outside.

Prolly some lowlife from south of the border. When of if they find it it will probably be pastel colors.
Thieves should have their hands removed.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with bucks on this one.

I would never leave a truck with that much money into it left outside.

I'd also have a massive security system on it so that if anyone DID try to steal the truck, it would be VERY VERY hard for them to do so without getting caught.

I feel for the owner. That's one nice truck, and it really sucks when a beautiful fully-done project like that gets taken.

Stupid theaves need to give their heads a shake.

the truck is usually parked on the side of his house behind a gate. he was heading out to lytle creek early sunday morning to go offroading so with the truck being pretty loud he parked it infront so it doesnt echo between his house and the neighbors house.

Sadly, this is a lot easier said than done, considering how vast just SoCal is.

SOP for stolen vehicles like this: It takes about 3 hours to drive to Mexico from Whittier, or it's been stripped to nothing by now.

Copied from another forum:

Some of the West Coast guys on here might have already heard, but figured it wouldn't hurt to post anyways.
I've never seen or heard of this rig before...and I live 75' from the Whittier city limits.

That sucks. I know Joel and that truck! I also can bet it was Ed that made that post as he was going to be on the Cleghorn run with Joel that day.

Alls that aside - Bill is right. I bet that truck was gone in the middle of the night and in Mexico by morning... Sad but true unfortunately.

I'll be down there in a few weeks for the Baja 500 though so I'll keep an eye out for it
