Just picked this up a month ago and thought I would share. Ignore the plates they are from the previous owner. She now resides in Mass. This is a great site and glad to now be apart of it. Right now I'm in the middle of a complete go through and underbody refinish.

Wow! Nice truck! How many miles on it? If you don't mind my asking what were you able to pick it up for? Rusted out 300,000 miles junkers here still seem to fetch 5-7,500...

ps...any chance I could get a larger hi-res shot? Your 60 would make an awesome desktop wallpaper for my computer! :p

It has 134k miles on it and I got it for 8500 cash. I think I got a great deal. There is that much in add ons and upgrades. I appreciate you feeling it is wallpaper worthy!!! But all I have right now are these pics from my cell phone. But if you go on Ih8mud.com and do a search for Ingrid you will find some beautiful pics from Colorado and Moab from the previous owner. Ingrid is the 60's name.

Thanks,
Rich
