Damn that's really sad! I remember that issue too. I'm willing to bet that there's quite a bit wrong with it. For starters it probably has a salvage title since somebody probably stole it. Whilst on the joy ride they proabably trashed the suspension and frame. It looks like its sitting on the ground too, so you know the yard owners could give two ***** about it.

I hope that's not the case though and somebody picks it up cheap and parts it out. The front clip is probably worth quite a bit provided it's GM stuff.

hey guys!!!!

i was driving back to Dallas from south louisiana going up 287. its just south of Palastine TX.

the truck was still in good shape but the bottom of the driver side bed (under the fuel door) was curved in, something a good body man could fix. all air hoses was cut, air bottles and compressors was taken.
some one left the passanger window down and the driver side window down so the white and gator leather seats was fucked up but the matching steering wheel looked to be in good shape as well as the sheet metal dash.
