BUGEYE Registry

Greg,

Stop messin' around and get some pix and the VIN up here! Maybe we can help.

I promise I'm not "messin' around".. lol.. the pics are in post#3 sans the few things I've done to it (delco alt conv to name one). I want to know as bad as the rest of the registry about it's history... I'm sure Daurie will keep me motivated, as nice as his truck is...

As per Daurie's request in his 'new tire' thread.. I'm the new owner of the '69 he mentioned in post #3. While I'm not really new to LR, I am new to the Series trucks. And while I've not been here long, I must admit that the knowledge gained here already makes me that much more excited about my recent purchase.

When I gain more info about the history of my Bugeye, I'll be sure post it here. Thanks RN!! and it's patron's, for a great resource for this rookie!

Thanks for the hit!

Ive got one. 24435684F

Ive spent my entire life living on the west coast (WA, OR, CA) so I don't have the 'rust' experience that alot of you deal with, but my bugeye is by far the rustiest truck I have ever seen. As a result, I named it 'The Salt Lick' I thought about 'Brokeback', but that other implications. It came out of New Hampshire but it still has a faded 'West Stockbridge Compactor' sticker in the window, so it spent some time in Mass as well. It has been relegated to a parts support role. It some point it may be give a new lease and turn back into an actual truck, but at this point its 3rd in line behind my 109 pickup, and my 100 hybrid.

Thanks to everyone for posting, and keep them coming!

I know there are more out there. We have communicated through email and now your making me look like an idiot since you haven't posted yet!

Man, if nothin' else, don't you want me to stop whining, and hounding you?

[Rineheitzgabot]

Excellent! If youv'e looked at mine, you probably noticed how similar Jason's (now yours) is to mine.

Don't forget some pics!

[Cristina]

Yes its the one on Rovers. Jason gave up and sold it to me.

[Rineheitzgabot]

Thanks Cristina. Is this the same one as "RoversClub"?

Don't forget; Pix, Pix, Pix!!

So you finally get around to posting on here..

I have a 1970 Marine Blue 88 VIN 24436131F which I purchased on Jan 3 1970 brand new. Built my own frame when the origonal rotted out in1980.
Use it everyday on the highway and in the bush cutting firewood and making maple syrup.

I think I love you.

Seriously, Thanks for your offering!! Love to hear information like that, and what a fabricator you must be to blacksmith your own replacement frame like that!

Post pix, Post pix, Post pix!!!

[Daurie]

It's mine... unfortunately when I got it the vin plate was long gone and the guy I bought it from knew next to nothing about it. I've looked on the horn and it's pitted (northern truck). If there is a VIN there it's completely illegible. Everything but the paint and wiring is original, although it's gone through a pretty extensive firewall and frame repair.

So it's kind of a mystery. I've threatened to sell it since it's kind of a stalled project right now.

So you finally get around to posting on here..
