Description

What a find! Original paint, low miles, (just turned 40,000) same owner for over 46 years (1968-2014) It's the one everyone is looking for, Fleetside, swb, big back window. This truck was bought new by a farmer in a small town in Illinois, it hardly ever left the property, that's the reason for the super low miles. The truck is incredibly clean. There are dings, dents and scratches but there isnt that horrible rust-through that everyone hates so much. The engine runs good, a lil cold blooded but runs like a champ once it warms up. The shifter on the column shifts like new, I've never had one that is so smooth and tight as this one. Everything seems to work as it should and everything short of the choke cable looks factory original. All the glass is good and the windows and doors work great. We replaced one small headlight eyebrow molding that got bumped and fixed the bruise behind it, we also polished the entire truck so it would not be obvious it had the small repair. I took several "before" pictures to show how minor the repair was. The very corner of the hood had a few small bubbles that we later found out was a mice nest, it was professionally repaired and the nest was removed. The under carriage is very solid, we found the rear two floor braces had collected mud and started to corrode from the inside out so we replaced them both. All in all its about as much of a survivor as your going to find. We are a 24 year in business, high quality, custom and restoration shop that can build or restore this truck to any degree. Or leave it alone and enjoy it just as you see it. Great truck at a fair price, the days of finding 67-68 shortbeds in this condition for 5k are over so please understand though not cheap, this truck as original as it is, is still a great value, they aren't making any more and they aren't getting cheaper.Any questions, just call Gary at 216-533-3889or email Patinaplantation@gmail.com
