Looking for my old truck.

Recommended Posts

I had a 521.  I gave it to a neighbor south of Tacoma WA in 2000, and around 2002 they said some kid came and begged them to sell it to him, because he was going to fix it up.

 

It was a '71.  it was rattlecan orange.  I'd had some electrical issues, and I had reflective tape around the bed.  I found a '69 (I think) on the roadside once and stole the all-metal dash out of it and put it in my truck.  The mechanics I brought it to said the front spindles were out of a 620.  He had a sunroof.

 

His name was Gort.  He came in pieces.  I'm just hoping he's out there, doing well.

Scomber, welcome to Ratsun. Nice story about your truck, I had a '71 for 8 years back in the 70s. Where are they today? Maybe resting in a wrecking yard in the sky???  Neil Young wrote a some about his first car called 'Long May You Run"
