The guy across the street from us had a light blue (looked like flat Petty Blue) white C stripes (Dude) he drove it everyday to the ship yard her worked at. He had it when we bought the home 1992. After 15 years or so it blew the motor or trans. He asked me if I wanted it for free before it was called off.
Only reason I did not get it was it was converted to NG and had 100 gallon tank or better in the bed.
I figured it would be to much work and money even for free.

Nope, they could be had in any standard sweptline color. I know of one in Desert Turquoise, one in Cream, and another in Dark Green.


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

I saw one about 20 years ago in a small town south of me. The guy was still driving it but it was pretty rough way back then. Probably ended up in a boneyard... wave

That truck and the other truck in the driveway were on ebay very recently.

Years ago I wanted to buy this one, but it was way up in Canada a couple hundred miles north of Edmonton. I wonder what happened to it?

I saw that very truck 25 years ago at a music festival near Slave Lake in northern Alberta. Beautiful truck with a younger owner, I talked to him for a bit. There was another Plum Crazy Dude in central Alberta near Rimbey that I wanted but wasn’t for sale, project truck but factory 383.
