Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I don't know if the seller of the white longbed stepside is a member, but I asked to see the SPID and if he has verified the date code on the engine, two days ago, and no reply. In the ad it says "ask any questions". Starting to doubt the "originality" on this one. Too bad, if it was an original K10 long step it would be a nice buy. BTW the BIN price has been lowered to $10,400. Still too high if it was a conversion and the motor was swapped tho. I also see a fair bit of overspray on the underhood photo, and no chalk marks on the firewall to check the original model #.

Oh it’s not mine, but good catch! I’m sure you’re probably right!

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Don't feel bad, the other day I asked for a SPID and the reply was "isn't that asking a little too much for a 40 year old truck?" My reply was "if it is, then so is asking $10,000 for one". He never wrote back...

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I never feel bad about not getting fleeced.

I guess the "4 Wheel Drive" emblem below the side marker light is some kind of reassurance that the truck may have originally been 4WD, but it's just odd that the guy is obviously paying attention to the listing (he's changing the BIN price daily) but won't answer a question or post a SPID.

I guess the universe is telling me that I don't need another truck right now....

I'm WITH ya, when it comes to buying trucks:

70 C10 swb big block (has a 454 in it, but comes with the removed original big block) $21.5K
Holy COW I'd loved to have seen this gem new.. 70 big block swb, white with GOLD interior. Really like it, but I probably couldn't resist the urge to take it back to completely original.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Didn’t 70 big block spids say 396 ?

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

both - I assume dependent on how far along it was thru the model year -or- perhaps a plant-specific thing? but most 70's I've seen said 400 like the 71-72s. here's one of each for ya

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I think you will find more 400 SPIDs than 396, at least based on the SPIDs posted here and elsewhere--not sure why.

That's the way mine reads in my '71

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

This seems like a great deal if it is rust free.

Old Blue...What am I missing? this seems like a smokin hot deal. Body looks solid, nice interior. K20...clean under hood.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Mike, I'm pretty sure all big block SPIDs would read as 400 by 71. 70 is the oddball year where the engine crossed over from 396 to 402 and both the 396 and 400 seen on SPIDs.

So here's a thought, I wonder if there is any correlation to what's actually in the truck or if it's just at some point the factory cut over to the new nomenclature. In other words, did a 70 with a 396 get 396 on its SPID and a 70 with a 402 got 400 on its SPID? Or did all the big block trucks at a given plant have 396 listed up until a certain point in time where the plant just started printing 400 instead, regardless of which big block it had. In early 70, could a 396 have been installed and ever labeled a 400 on the SPID...? (or vice versa, a plant change over to the new nomenclature on the SPID while still installing the last few 396s?) Hmm. You'd never really know unless you had an original scenario to dig into. And you might not know even based on a build sheet because the SPID likely matches its nomenclature as 396 or 400; it could have just been a naming convention changeover date at some point. Dunno... Prospective new truck buyers didn't "run the numbers" on the engine block back then, they would just assume the truck had what the SPID said.

Now paging Keith, Paging Keith Seymore? :)

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Many of the PICs are from 15 years ago during the restoration process, and obviously not restored to factory SPECs.
16k is right where it needs to be if he actually wants to sell it which it appears he does.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I texted the seller requesting a picture of the SPID with no luck. He's unwilling to share the SPID/VIN. In person only inspection he says. Good luck with that unless he finds someone local.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

You might suggest he block out all or some of the VIN depicted on the SPID if he's uncomfortable - you're only interested in the RPOs and the first 6 of the VIN really. Some people are like that, and it makes it hard to make a sale happen.

Cool Suburban for those who have a place to park such a beast.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Regarding post 6533 Old Blue K20. I spoke with the owner, I asked him what the first three letters of the vin were? He said it’s a 72 K20 and I’m not giving out the vin number. He then said that he bought the truck in CA or AZ can’t remember, and he bought it without seeing the vin. He wanted to know why I wanted to know the first three letters, saying that’s not going to tell me anything. Saying I’m in Ca and all the scammer on C/L “ come in person and look at it “ then he basically hung up on me. Good luck with that sale, or maybe not.

Since were on the subjects of big blocks. Looks like he dropped his price.
Looks like a good price if someone is looking to restore a big block car or truck.

3/4 ton goodness....I would start by ridding it of that tired Targetmaster 350 and find me a 5.3...then dip the entire body in a vat and get rid of that pool paint the PO used on it :dohh:

IMO that doesn’t look like a factory AC setup on that 72 K20 in Saginaw.

Here's a nice GMC for someone - love that color combo: https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d...915765925.html

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Looks almost identical to my Gmc when I had ralleys.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Looks very clean. Nice truck, someone needs this

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I like this truck a lot. I haven't seen one of those rear bumpers in a long time. Cool but noisy. I wonder what the round stand in the engine compartment and the chrome do dad under the drivers wing window were/are for?

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I'll bet the GMC hauled a slide-in camper for much of its existence. I suspect that thingy under the vent window is a level.

71 C20 base 58k mi survivor $11.5K
Very original, nice condition - note it still retains the 71-only grille perimeter black ring. Personally, I love when these old C20s have the snow tires on the back, looks just like they always did back in snow country when they were new.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Looks like a nice survivor.

Its too bad CL is now charging for vehicle ads. I've seen the amount of postings around here dropping.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Before I asked that kind of money, I would have put a seat cover and carpet in it.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Before I tried lying about the mileage I would have found a slightly worn original seat cover....2 worn out seat covers with only 68k??? 268k is more likely.
