One of my favorite games here at BangShift, one that I’ve enjoyed for years, is to try to torment the two owners (you know, my bosses) with temptations from the Internet, that have FOR SALE as the opening sentiment. Chad is actually kind of difficult to pin down: I know he’s a die-hard Chevy guy but he can appreciate most anything so long as it isn’t out of my weird catalog. G-bodies, especially wagons, are a gold mine and squarebody trucks were good up until he scored the dually. Brian, however, is easy: old lumbering trucks that are all size and no power, ancient technology, and some of the more off-beat culture references all make up a dream machine. Note that last part, it’s about to become starkly clear.
This Chevrolet C20 falls somewhere between 1977 and 1979 in year, but it’s a squarebody, it’s fine on it’s own accord. It’s fairly unmolested, it’s a longbed with an old-school camper shell on it, and it’s got that funky front-mount spare tire just for good measure. We could stop there and Lohnes would be seriously looking. But just look at the livery…star-spangled, “Dare Devil THRILL SHOW, Wall of Fire, Death Defying Stunts”…If that doesn’t put the voice of the NHRA over himself, I don’t know what will. When his kids were younger, they were taken to school in old, giant trucks. Now that they are older, how about going the “full embarrassment” route and showing up in the Star-Spangled Support Crew truck? You can wear a mullet wig and matching luxurious mustache, if you think it’ll help…
That looks like a Joey Chitwood thrill show truck. Very good deal for that at 2K. I sold far more rusty one for more…
