Well, he wanted $1500, so I went ahead and offered the rancher $800 for his 1969 Chevrolet 1/2 ton and he took it. I told him I didn't have the money with me and he said "I'd rather you owe me than me owe you". With that said he signed over the title and said come out and get it this afternoon. And by the way, he told me he wouldn't be home but just take it and we'll get together sometime.

We came out later that day and it fired right up with a lot of pumping because the choke is gone. I mean really gone, removed, missing! Here are a few pictures of it when we picked it up and when we got it home. We drove it 65 miles per hour all the way and it ran like a top. The rancher told me after we cut the deal that he had a installed a new exhaust, Goodyear Wrangler tires, battery and a new front drive shaft assembly recently.

In my other post I forgot to mention it's a four wheel drive. This is an honest ranch truck complete with ammo in the seat cover and fence staples on the floor. The best part is my kid had been talking about finding a 1969 Chevrolet truck. The very best part is the day we picked it up was his 10th birthday and I gave it to him as a present. Hopefully this will keep him busy and off the streets!

There is a bit of rust which I guess is expected. Cab corners, rockers and a couple other spots. All in all it should be a fun truck to mess around with.
