Great Find

Had the truck out for a little spin tonight, and ended up driving down a couple of rural roads not from from my place, passed a fenced compound and spied a handful of 73-79 grills and trucks. At least 6 that I spotted as I drove by. Came back later and took a closer look, not only are there 73-79 trucks, there were 80s in there too. Got closer and the 73-79 are CREW CABS, that's right, there were 4-5 73-79 CREW CABS!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I'm going to head back and see what kind of shape they're in, and if they're for sale!!!!!!!

Whoa that is a great find like a pot of gold especially since the crew cabs are probably quite rare

I suggest the owner will be easy to spot.

He will be the one with Huge $$$$$$$ in his eyes.

Yeah, I hear you with the $$$$ in the eyes. I think I saw at least one regular cab, I'm going to try and spring early from work and see if there is anyone there during the day, compound was all locked last night.

preppy, you never know lol.
Bouts21, a note usually works. Sometimes the reply takes awhile, one time when I did that it was months later that I did get a phone call reply.

I never found the leaving a note worked very well for me. I missed out on some great deals back in the day because of it too.
