60,000 Mile '89 4X4 Long Bed, Red Deer, Alberta

[gogmorgo]

Red Deer is about 400 miles north of Great Falls, MT, about halfway between Calgary and Edmonton.

Truck isn't minty and it looks like it's got a small amount of rust, but otherwise it seems to be in pretty decent shape. "One" owner, from estate sale. The guy selling it doesn't really seem to know much about it... it's listed as a "Commando". $2000

It says right in the ad "wooden box liner", I've seen weirder stuff.

 

oooh it has a cargo lamp... that can't even be used because of the topper...

Yeah, plywood bed liners aren't all that rare from the period. As a pump jockey in a small rural community, I saw it a lot, particularly among the older generations. Guessing cause it's cheap and anyone with a screwdriver and some patience can something together that looks half-decent. Spray in bed liners weren't particularly common back then, and quite expensive, not to mention unheard of in recent communities until quite recently.
