 so is old navy getting rid of their trucks?« »

I'm seeing several of these on ebay...look just like the ones that are all over every old navy, and appear to be in the stores in some pictures.

just too bad they gut the things before they use them.

Part of me is kind of excited about this, but a bigger and more realistic part of me knows that I don't have a garage to store this thing in.

I always wondered just how many of those trucks Old Navy bought to put into their stores. It seems like all the mall stores have them.

my wife works at old navy and they are currently remodeling every store in the nation over a few years. this means that the trucks have to go. i know the store she works at they already got rid of the truck.

There is a thread about this on the HAMB. Some guys have even gotten them for free; all they have to do in disassemble them so they can get the truck through the doorway. Some even have drivetrains, but it seems most have rust.

i think that one went to charity here and another went dirt cheap so if you're looking for a project truck may be a good way to get going. just remember that they pretty much just found the truck and painted it really quick to look good. who know's how good/bad it is underneath.

I'll gladly admit I do, their stuff is downright cheap when they've got sales going on...when I was in korea I'd order jeans from them for less than $5 a pair sometimes.

There's something amazing about that. The jeans were probably made in China or another Asian country... shipped to the United States... then sold back to you in Korea?

That speaks volumes about the efficiency of our production processes, but it also makes me think of this:

Raises hand. I just got 3 fitted polo shirts and 3 thermal henleys for 13 bucks yesterday. Their stuff isn't bad if you don't get the crap that has their logo plastered all over it.

actually the key problem was that most Koreans don't have 34 inch inseams, so finding pants was a nightmare unless they were custom tailored, shoes was another one I had to order...fortunately it was APO, so no extra fees.

As opposed to rotting in a field?

Remember, many of these are quite rusty. I think preserving them in a dry environment is not a bad thing.

yeah reading into the comments at the bottom of the ebay ad, they have a contact number for florida listed at least. My impression is that the one company is selling all old navy trucks, so if you're really interested, contact the seller of that auction and get the contact for your local area.

Every time I go to Old Navy (once a year, if that much) I spend most of my time staring longingly at that truck. I crawled under it once to see what kind of shape it was in, much to my girlfriend's wide-eyed and loud-yelling horror

I miss your B5, as well as mine..

Anyways, just got off the phone with the customer care line. They had no idea. I've now talked to 3 seperate store managers. The most I've gotten is that one company is coming in to remove the trucks. One manager said he thought it was going to a van lines company. I heard rumors on the internets that United Van Lines is buying them, but can't confirm. So much for free candy.

I was just looking through those Ebay listings also and found those phone numbers. It the first few paragraphs, it says that they are the company that is going in and disassembling the trucks and shipping them out to two of their warehouses.

If you can get in touch with them right as they are disassembling them and have it shipped directly to your house, you'd probably make out alright. And so far, looks like some of the trucks are selling for a good price. Such a low price, it wouldn't be too costly for someone to throw an engine and trans in there and rewire the chassis for under $10k, if not less.

I could have sworn that the one in my local Old Navy was a prop, never once had an engine/tranny in it. Plus the thing is SOLID, not a spec of it ever having had rust on it. I drop in old Navy around Christmas time as the GF is looking for pj pants. I can not wear the clothes, the waist is too big but they will be tight in thighs,ankles That and they are garbage.

I still think that they are props. For some reason I seem to remember a sneeker store chain that used orange and white '57 Vettes in all their stores as well. My dad looked underneath and it looked like a big toy car.

there may have been some that were props, but I've seen quite a few of them that are legitimate trucks...I think a few may have fiberglass body panels i.e. hoods and fenders just because the original parts were so badly worn that they couldn't just paint over them
