I just saw the 1973 truck my G-pa, dad and brother owned. It is for sale.....1 grand! The dude only paid $500 for it! Still looks like its in the same condition. Oh well, maybe some other time.

Call the CA DMV's 800 number and ask them to run the VIN.

If it comes back as still extant, then a friend in law enforcement will be a big help.

Or...if you happen to know someone that works at DMV...you won't need a cop (don't ask me how I know this).

Ask yourself this, Brady...do you really want it back? How long has it been gone, what condition is it in now?

i dont have to worry bout this. i met the guy one day after following him after seeing the old 82. I talked with him for a while. he lives in the same city as me. I drive by the truck almost everyday at his work. weird. im thinking bout buying it back for my girlfriend. She loved the heck out of that truck.
