Had a ‘76 Crew cab dully camper special, 454, same burnt Orange body but with a kind of a butterscotch roof and side accent panels. It was 2 years old when we bought it and had 46000 miles on the counter. Drive it it for 10 years and traded it off for something.a little more economic on the gas.I paid the fellow who I bought it from almost double what he originally bought it for and when I sold it after 300,000 miles I got more then what I paid for it. It is as a great truck, loved every mile of it.

Watching your catalog of videos (as I may be doing in binge fashion) is so nice.
