WHAT IS IT?
Again, here we have a rare surviving example of a work vehicle typically used hard and put away wet. Regular-cab short-bed Chevy pickups with a base inline six-cylinder engine of this vintage usually have hundreds of thousands of miles, were modified into something different, or were long ago relegated to a scrap yard.
WHY THIS ONE HAS BEST ONE ON THE PLANET CHOPS
This is reportedly a survivor from a dry climate with only about 16,000 miles from new in original and unmodified condition. This would have been a base 2WD work truck in its day with a vinyl bench seat, no air conditioning, and not even any overly flashy faux wood interior trim. It was equipped by the selling dealer with extra tie-down hooks, larger outside mirrors, and a heavy rear bumper. Yet, its stylish red-over-red color with cool white steel rims with original hubcaps gives it a lot of street cred and appeal for truck lovers. Located in Southern Indiana but with a long history in California, this truck looks incredibly clean up top and underneath. The asking price would buy a pretty nice new vehicle so the value is in the eye of the beholder here, but it’s still one of the best we’ve seen in a very long time.
