This is a roller, no engine/trans/driveshaft. Ratchet floor shifter, aluminum fuel cell in bed, braided fuel line, 12 bolt posi rear, 3.73 gears. Hidden battery shut off switch. Texas truck brought to MN-never seen winter. Body very solid. Some light surface rust in bed but not bad. Undercarriage very nice. I do have 3 inch exhaust that could go with it-different than whats in the pic. The tires/wheels that are on it won't go with it, but I'll have another set put on so it will roll. I need to keep the msd unit under the hood. Heres a quick look and I can email more pics if you'd like. I have it on CL for $1,000 but I'll list it here at $750/bo for accounts older than one month. I really hate to part with this as I've had it for almost 20 years and had lots of fun in it, but I'm looking at another vehicle for the family. Located just outside St. Paul,MN. Have clear title.

bah.. awesome! I want it, but it would cost me over half your asking price in fuel just to haul it home.

Im with everyone else here.........who forgot to order the rust? Or has it sat in the garage non-running since new?

Good looker, going all the way out there wouldn't be cost effective, but it should go quickly

Wow, my dad had a '77 1/2 ton 2WD in the same color. His didn't have much of a body left when he traded it in in twenty years ago!

OT: There's one locally called a Bonanza. It's butterscotch and off white, a GMC. Never seen one.

I want this truck, but much like the '61 Corvair, I'll Charlie Brown too long and miss it.

Thanks for the nice words about her.

I bought it in 1994 from a local guy who had just driven it up from the Dallas area near Carswell AFB. It still had the Texas plates on it when I bought it. Yes I have kept it garaged every year since then except one but I've never driven it in the winters.

Someone buy this before I change my mind lol.

Is that really a Bonanza? I'm in the middle of restoring a Bonanza 20. Man, your're far away, but I'd really like to have that truck. I'm thinking...

Yes its a Bonanza. Has tilt wheel. It did have a/c but I ripped that out as well as the heater to shed weight when I put my old 406 in it.

Tough to tell by the pics, is it a short bed or a long bed?
