Trinadad, CO g506

Post by wc56daveyboy » Tue Dec 26, 2017 4:59 am

Anyone on this forum from the trinadad Co area?

Wife and I on vacation coming up from New Mexico into Colorado. First town or so into Colorado is trinadad.

We stayed the night and explored a bit. One of the back roads we took in our travels we crossed by a very clean survivor g506. Itcwas sitting right on side of road next to dilapidated building. Truck covered in weeds. Been there a long time.

Anyone know of it? I'll post pics when I get home.
It's a really clean truck

Ha... !

Yea it's a clean one for sure.

All sheet metal clean with no rust.
Windshield and all glass present and unbroken.
All cargo rear troop seats present.
Bed darn near perfect. Straight sides and all.
Running boards perfect.

Engine side panels do not have CHEVROLET embossed so it pre 42?

Bed looks to be like my old 42 g506 with rounded front top rails and 100% welded metal floor

I saw a truck in Raton NM a few years ago. I took some photos through a fence. It was probably around 2013 or so. It might still be there.

I highly doubt it's for sale.

It appears to have been driven there and just parked a very long time ago

Hi Dave,
I've been leaving notes on that truck for ten years with no response. It's on 12 going to Monument and La Veta, a few miles west of Trinidad on the right side of the road.

It's nice, but apparently not for sale.
