Re: "Patina Trucks" in the group
Since we're collecting photos of "Patina Trucks" in this thread, I'll repost a couple that were first posted in the Redding Mini-Meet thread. I bought this '67 several years ago from a former forum member, Don Barnes, of Cool, California. Foley accused me of "poaching" since this was only about 7 miles from where he lives.
It has lots of battle scars including a slice clean through the hood where one of the fan blades apparently came loose and flew off. That would have given someone a headache had he or she been leaning over the radiator when it happened! Nearly every body panel has at least one dent in it. Not much rust though.
Upgrades include the Holley 500, Pertronix ignition, wheels/tires from a 2006 GMC, and 3-point lap/shoulder belts. The bed floor is covered with a smooth aluminum sheet, making it perfect for shoveling out the many tons of sand and gravel I've hauled with it.
