I have lived in this town forever and had never seen this truck before. I was driving back from the airport and here it was in the Petco parking lot. Looks cool I thought.

:lol: In high school my buddy had a fleetside like that. It had a Ford 302 in it. The fire wall was cut and moved back, along with the chop top. This was when the "no fat chicks" saying was big. He had a sticker on the back that said "no tall chicks".

Big single tail pipe... Wonder if it is some kind of turbocharged engine? 6 lug wheels on the rear axle. I would drive it... :ewink
Parked in a handicapped spot too.

Nice truck, would be even nicer if they lose that bumper and get some decent rims (sorry I HATE those!!).

The guy that got into it was in his 60's and using a cane and had a handicaped placard. It still has 4 wheel drum brakes and you could tell up close this truck was done in the early 80's. I just was wondering after seeing this truck how many others are around town hidden.

It's my dad's actually. I get to drag it, and a '70, to my place in the next couple of days. It's a long story.

I may keep it, but I asked him for a pickup to borrow and he unloads two parts trucks on me. 8O

It could be woth more than you think. It's very rare now days. Check into it. Might be sitting on a small gold mine.

Thanks rondog. It's a PL320, not really worth much. This one is only worth big bucks if it's fully restored, or in parts. The windshield alone fetches close to $400...

My dad does have an NL320 out at his place and the ratsun guys are already all over me to get pics of it. That one's a driver, and complete. Prolly worth about $3500 as it sits. It's a one piece body, and much sexier than the PL. Here's one close by, the owner lowered it, but you get the idea. My dad's is the same color blue as the L320 above...

It would be like that Nash Metropolitan that runs around out here.
I saw this one in person at a car show a couple blocks from my house.

Now that is a sweet car and would be an awesome ride. There is so much torque that it about tips the car over just idling!!!
