September
... 16th, 2010 between the hours of 1PM-3PM from the Haysville, KS area
this 55 Chevy pickup was stolen. The truck is bright red with ivory
bumpers, chrome wheels, oak bed, black & ivory leather interior.
Had a tag (probably removed) that read DADZ55. We are told it is more
than li...kely
being taking out of state so please spread the word to EVERYONE. We
need your help to recover it, it has huge sentimental value to Don the
owner.Here are a few details that would make any car/truck buff
recognize the truck. The hood ornament is actually from a Pontiac
(chrome), if it has not been removed this would be a dead giveaway. The
interior is black & ivory leather, tuck & roll with a custom v
shape right in the center. There is a radio box under the dash and the
dash itself has an open hole in it for a missing knob. Inside the
window wells, if you really look with the window down you can see some
green paint. The truck was originally green and when they painted it,
they did not get this area covered well. There is a crack in the glass…
passenger side in the vent window. There is a scratch on the drivers
side above the rear fender. Spare tire has chrome wheels just like the
ones all the way around. Because the fenders are not original 55 Chevy
fenders there is also an indentation near the parking lights. The truck
bed is oak, the bumpers have the bumper guards which you don’t always
see. It has a 6 cylinder engine… it is pretty much original under the
hood. No carpet in side. The case# is 10s009654 and was filed through
Sedgwick County Sheriff’s department. If you or anyone spot the truck
please call the police AND us immediately!

That really sucks. >:(
My truck isn't even in the same league as that 55, but if it was stolen I would be on the war path.

You and me both, man!

I don't know how it was stolen...hot wired, wrecker pick up or whatever. But I always fear this w/ the older vehicles I drive. I put a kill switch in my old mustangs and chevys so in order to hotwire it, you'd have to know the location of the kill switch in order for the starter solenoid to get voltage. Just something to think about. It's a shame it comes to this, but, you may keep your vehicle from being in someone else's garage, or worse, becoming a victim of a chop shop.
