For Serious Buyers: I will take the truck to a shop of YOUR CHOOSING (within 25 miles of San Antonio, Texas) to allow them to evaluate this truck's condition prior to your purchase. Potential buyer will be responsible for the cost of this inspection.

This is a very solid truck that has been cared for with pride.

It has never been involved in an accident while I've owned it, and the body & paint still look GREAT!

Will also include: 5 Sets of tire chains (still in bags), original night stand/cooler compartment, original swivel seats, and various spare parts that I carry with me.

Additional information & photos available upon request. Clear title (no lienholders). Sorry, no Owner Financing.

Asking Price: $14,000

I'll contribute a few:

(1) A nice, comfortable bed for her to catch a nap in while you're towing a trailer with both yours & hers Vettes (and just about anything else you want to take to a car show with you!)

(2) It costs less to buy than a 1-ton dually, and will pull anything you want (like that huge 5th wheel camper she wants you to buy!). Imagine being able to pull mountains at 65- 70+ MPH in top gear!

(3) If you ever had a childhood dream of driving a truck, buying it would give you a chance to "play truck driver", but as a form of recreation!

(4) Another "Play Toy" for you (Big Rig Shows, like car shows, are a lot of fun these days!).

I don't know what their website address is, but the National Association of Show Trucks has shows nationwide, and many of the trucks are every bit as sharp as a lot of clean Vettes and other cars seen at other shows.
