After selling out, I've been keeping my eye peeled for a 71 or 72 Chevy PU truck worth the money.

Along the way, I've been able to parlay a few dollars into a few more dollars by flipping a few items like guns, trailers, cars and car parts.

I recently bought this to flip ...

Had it a couple weeks and you know ... I really do like this thing.

Still looking for the right Chevy truck, but in the meantime ... I'm giving serious thought to selling my deisel truck and keeping this. If it were an extended cab, it would be a no brainer.

Buying a deisel was the biggest fiscal mistake I've ever made.

Its ridiculously expensive to operate and maintain.

Looks like a '94, new style grill with the old style mirrors, most likely a TBI 350, though could be a TBI 305 or TBI 4.3L.

Correct.

L05(?) motor? Feels like 308 gearing and the diffs do lock up.

But most important is the AC blows ice cold ... brrrrr!

Agreed with Kevin. That's a nice ride. The camo wrap is a little weird, but not a deal breaker. And yes, cold A/C is a reason to keep it at least until next January, when it gets cold here. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
