Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.


I know it's a bad picture, but here is the story.....

A Lady I know in Surey, ND has contacted me to help her search out her Father's old Single Cab. Her dad died quite a while ago, and after he died, her mom sold it to someone in Canada. This person would have bought it anywhere around 1987-90. Her name was Renee Fields. She lived in Burlington, ND at that time. The Title, if it was even titled, would have said Ron Fields.

My guess is that it went up into Saskatchewan or Manitoba. If there is anyone that could help, it would be greatly appreciated. She is desperate to get it back if it still exists.

Thank you!

Think you meant to write:

"The person who bought it around 1987-90 from Renee Fields."

Otherwise it sounds like Renee Fields bought it, rather than sold it.

Does the lady in Surey have any paperwork? Chassi number would really help. Would be great to hear that the SC is found.
Wish that my Dad's 63 non-sunroof bus was in our possession. Last saw it going into a very small wrecking yard in the late 1970s, and so it almost certainly ended up crushed.

You are correct. The person bought it from Renee fields. No paperwork available. This is the only picture available as well....

She tried. Records said that they don't keep them that long.

Sorry I'm kind of colour blind but is it a sort of pink S/C with dual treasure chest doors? If it is, I know there is one here owned by a fellow I used to work with.

My colour recognition is really poor especially in bad light or poor pictures.

The one I know of is totally redone and probably wouldn't be cheap. I know he spent over $2500 having the bumpers straightened polished and chromed and had a HUGE bill at the body shop to get the body redone. I don't know if he painted it the stock colour. I never saw it finished. If you can PM me a chassis number I can check if it the one she is looking for.

She doesn't know the chassis number unfortunately...I know it's a bit of a wild goose chase....

Pretty sure this is the one my buddy owns here in Saskatoon. I talked to him and the story seems to line up. Came out of ND about that time and originally SWR with dual lockers. The body is redone (not OG paint scheme unfortunately) but needs assembly and mechanical done.

3 days and a lead on a 25+ year old transaction. Amazing.

If this is the same truck it was imported by Robert Achs a Samba member to this day. He brought it to Sk. Its in Paint and pieces right now but it could be bought! It just takes money! I'm sure you found it it's in a garage in Saskatoon in a mechanics garage .His name is Jason Ahmed. He works at a shop called Prairie Autohaus. Call him?

the two people touched base with each other, and they are about 99.9% sure it's her dad's old single cab. the current owner is going to finish the truck and as of right now, she really can't afford it, but at least she now knows where it's at. Thank you everyone on the samba for the help! this is truly a dream come true for her!
