Hers one for you extended cab guys.
« on: September 05, 2011, 12:11:51 am »
A local guy bought it in 74 to haul his fifth wheel camper, and his race car trailer. When he got older sold off the race car, and eventually the camper too. After that he just used it for a pickup / run around town rig. Never saw snow. He passed a couple years ago and now his kids are selling it.
Story goes he picked it up at the dealer, and drove it directly to a local body shop and had them stretch it, two tone it, and install the fifth wheel hitch.

Think its had some rebuilding done as that isn't a 74 grill, the headlight trim, and hood is 79 or 80.

     Your right blazin, the grille looks to be aftermarket and the headlight bezel is 79 - 80 ish.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

I cabbaged it online somewhere. It stands out in my memory because the extended cab part is bigger than most. I wish I could see it in person.

The price is $8500. I thought it was a bit steep. The rear seat is the old front seat.
