He sold it years ago and said that it went out west.

The same one that Earl in AZ owns now? Super rusty?

Nope. I believe Moe still has it as he occasionally sends me pics of girls with rubber bands around their crotches while sprawled out on top of it.
Got any pics of the rubber bands?
Seriously, whatever happened to the crashed that was in Iowa, then sold on Ebay in 2005? I looked at it then. Wasn't bent too bad. Binz plate was missing.

Just like most everything else thats awesome and badass.. I spoke to a guy a while back and he was going on about how he owned a 23 window bus in spartanburg.. Andrew said the bus sounded alot like Jack's 23 so maybe there was something cool in south carolina...

Im suprised you posted those, I thought the blue one was still on confidential status?

I suppose it is on confidential status, but these pics give nothing away. Its not there anymore.

Long-roofs, the price when we found it was $1500, but it sold for $500 a few years later. I had offered the guy more than that, but he said he would not sell for less than his asking price. At the time I knew little about them, but I knew it was more than "just another double cab". It did have the proper rear seat, and I believe the rear bumper and decklid were in the bed. The binz tag is no longer with the truck. No, I did not steal it, but I know where it is. I don't know the number. The other Binz pictured is #181, I believe.

It's a '58, #76

Have you fitted up the bed slats yet greg? Curious to see how they go. I'm even more curious to see how binz ever put the slats back in with that nasty gas weld in the bed.

Hey Greg, I am pretty sure that is the same guy.
