While driving around this past weekend I spotted what appeared to be a early 70s PW. It was the swb,fleetside,redish orange PW style that looked so good with big tires back then. It was complete, but a little ragged being almost 30 yrs old,missing the front drive shaft and rear bumper was all that wasn't original. I had always wanted one back then but no credit or co-signer kept it a dream. This truck was for sale I found out but, I was only able to get in touch with the guy today and it had already been sold. What hurts the most is, it was a 1 owner truck with 440 and 3/4 ton axles w/ 8lug rims. How rare was a SWB with a 440 and 3/4 ton axles? The guy wants the 440 to build a street rod. I left my # and told the man when the guy comes to get the truck to have him call me, he only paid $600 for it!
I'll give him $800 and get him a 440 if he'll leave the original eng. in and sell me the truck. I will always love my WM300 but, this was a youthful dream truck I'd like to restore if I could get it. WOW! a SWB,440 PW
with 3/4 ton axles! I bet it was one badass truck new, they sure looked great anyway.
