shortstack Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nice ride Randy. Thought of you today. Was stopped for road construction waiting on the pilot car to come back to lead me down the road and looked over at a road packer or whatever they call them that was sporting a red dot a/c on the back of the cab. Thought of hopping out and confescating it for you but figgered you wouldn't be interested in a used "unit".

vision386 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Older pickups are also at a premium in virginia,good clean used truck down here sells for top dollar,even have a few small dealers that re-sale nothing but used pickups. Down here,Ford seems to be the big seller,i see a lot of them running around, but i have been offered 17K for my 1970 C-10 Chevy! but prolly never sell it,had it since i was 15,lotta memories in the ol' girl!..............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
