I would like to find a set of mirrors like that for mine.

 

To be honest with you the number of unique things on this trucks kinda starting to freak me out a little .

 

I was told by the po that the door key was lost, ( big shocker ! right ! ) . Also he told me it wouldn't start , As a repair he got a new ignition switch, this didnt solve the problem . so he jimmy rigged a horn button to the starter. As i began cleaning the truck out today i found a box under the pass seat , opened it to find the original key & ignition switch ( which work fine ) but the " KEY" works both doors also

 

Also preparing to head to the dmv i gave the title a 2nd going over when i realized that the mileage box has correct miles in it . which means (in Oregon anyway) that this truck has been in this state it's whole life, and the previous po had to sign a form stating the actual miles every 2 years since new , if skip one you cant go back .

Sounds like a well looked after truck.

 

Both my trucks ignition keys work in the doors, don't let it freak you out too much. :D

[denmarkboy]

I always have to 're key them . Guess I am just luck e like that .

couldn't sleep so i spent the last 5 hours searching , and here is what i found . 

 

In 1977 the : Li'l Hustler , Li'l Hustler stretch and the exclusive king cab  all earned their strips to be called "pizzazzy pickups".

 

from what i can find , this was a one year only option. Which came with he following options : dual side mirrors, side , hood , cab strips. also the wheels on these models were also painted black .

 

i am going to do a lot deeper search monday thru the dmv and try and trace this back to a dealer in the northwest .

 

if anyone has other ideas for research please let me know .

 

here is a brochure for the trucks , you can clearly see the similarity

Looks just like the kingcab in the brochure :cool:

Thanks , I can't wait to track the history on Monday . I can't believe how hard it is to find information on these trucks .

 

But what I did figure out it did get sold as is , so factory applied options.?

 

I'm still digging .

Any chance you could scan it and post it up?

Thanks , I agree , if I could find more in this shape it would make it a lot easier to put them back on the road ! I do it for the challenge of the build , but it awesome to find one that hasn't been repainted, or spray painted.

I find a lot of stuff , and just put you on the list for a console . When I come into one I'll let ya know . Any color ?

You bet ! As soon as it gets here I will post a legible copy , wish I could find more info . But I am excited that it is an original truck , and that it has traceability. Sometimes the story / history it the coolest accessory !

pulled the bumper , grill, to do some cleaning , found the one headlight ring that was missing .  It was under the pass. seat . also replacing the bumper with a straight one .

    And original carpet isnt looking to bad after a good cleaning .

 

[denmarkboy]

Well that was a couple of rough days , i lost a really close friend and brother from another mother . and sounds like im going to a weekend long celebration of life ,  when you least expect it life stretches out its handle and slaps you off your feet...take 2 secounds today and tell your friends they are important to you  ! !

 

i did try to bury my thoughts and to do a little reflecting by way of a road trip to get a motor owed me . it was worth it ! also did some bumper swapping and removing . .

Sorry for your loss.

 

That truck is real nice. :cool:

 

[denmarkboy]

thanks dude , we lost one of the good ones ! sucks 

 

i agree on the truck , when i was in prineville oregon yesterday i tried finding the original owner but i think he passed away. the address i tracked him to was an elderly home , but they didnt have anyone there under his name .

 

ignore the 521 cap , i havent tracked down rings and caps yet

Thanks for the lead ,

And I got your pm about the kick panels I will check .
