***EDIT, THIS TRUCK IS SOLD******
Hi All,

I am posting this for a friend, you can ask me questions, but it might take a while to get back to you as the guy selling is 71 years old and just asked me to circulate for him. I sold him the truck originally when I was in University I can tell you the truck was in really good shape with really low miles when I had it and he spent a lot of money on it to tediously restore it to probably better then new. Anyway his comments are below, and I have attached most of the pictures he has sent me. Enjoy and hopefully this truck gets a good home.

Hi DTSkyCop,

The bumpers were custom built buy a heavy set guy that actually did the restoration on this truck, they are aluminum if I remember correctly. I don't think you can get them built anymore, as I think last I talked to Gerry he said he had past away unfortunately. He did have an eye for detail old big gord.

"The bumpers were custom built buy a heavy set guy...passed away unfortunately" The best bumpers are made by heavy set guys, with no name...who are dead.

I think his name was Big Gord if I remember right, which I did post in my original post you quoted You got to remember I am not the seller, just trying to help Gerry out to sell the rig, as he isn't a big Forum guy. If you have specific questions and are serious about buying the truck, feel free to send an email or give Gerry a call. Since this is now page two, here is the contact info again: Gerry Bolduc , gb.oforc@hotmail.com , 250-962-8059
