A while back my dad was doing a job in the northern part town, and sent me a pic of an older J truck, as I looked at the pic closer, I realized it was a J200. Well a month or so later I had to go help him with the job, and on our way back, we stopped by where the truck was and took a look at it. Its a 1967 J200, all original, only 37k original miles on it. Camper shell/Topper seemed original so did the tool boxes on the side. Only rust it had was around the front turn signals along with a bit of surface rust, but no rot whatsoever. While looking at it I found a sticker from the last oil change that was dated June 14 1986, at 35k miles, 
meaning the truck has only gotten roughly 1500 miles in the last 27 years. So we talked to the guy for a while, he said that his aunt bought the truck brand new, and kept it in the garage, and used it only to go fishing. When she passed away he brought it to his house, and it has sat ever since, with the exception of the guys nephew taking it to get 4 brand new tires few years back. I asked the guy if he would ever consider selling it, and his response was not right now. He mentioned that hes had so many offers from people buying it, and that he was offered as much as $10k for it, and another offer of a newer 1 ton truck, and he gets offers on it every other week, and Im thinking in the back of my head "Im sure......" . BTW he's driving the 1 ton dodge in the background of the first pic, so Im sure he turned down a large sum of money 
. So this truck, like others sadly, will most likely sit and rot away, but for anybody in TX, its near Lake Conroe, I will try to stop by there from time to time, and hope to save it some day, and here are some pics.
