I was looking at that thing, I would say you're buying a frame and a title. Not a bad deal but definitely a project.

That grille is straighter than it has a right to be and oh look. It has that flow through tail gate on it. 😉

I wouldn't pay $500 for it.....
I just bought a rust free '70 CST C10 for 1K here in Ca. (seller wanted $2500 but was very motivated) It even had a bed side tool box !

robs71 07-21-2016 05:29 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
If the frame is nice,title good and vin plate intact I would buy it.A real short bed not a cut down long bed!![a little humor].If you have the room and spare change you can't go wrong..probably could get it a bit cheaper.

Buy the truck, get a couple of cans of this, and it'll be good as new within 24 hours!

Looking past the rust, I see only lawn :-O

There's enough patina there for six trucks!

I love trucks like that. Don't look beyond the rust or remove it, look at it. It's a beauty. Just get it mechanically working, wash the windows, and drive it as is.

Location plays a big part in it. That truck you got for $1,000 would cost $2,500 to have in the East. It's worth hauling a rust free truck from the west back east but not the opposite. any truck is worth $500 if it is that complete. This one isn't so awfully rusted that I can see, except the tailgate. I've seen those rust out like that on trucks that hardly had other rust. this one shows typical rust, but some heavy surface rust... way beyond patina. Most trucks end up with new hoods, fenders, and doors, with cab rust repaired. This one could be not so bad.

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
I would buy it, there is surely parts that could be sold if it is not able to be restored. You could probably get it for 300. I have seen trucks get parted out on here that should have been left drivers.

GR8-68 07-22-2016 06:30 AM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
Look at the other good stuff he has though unfortunately he already sold the k10

I'll be calling this morning it's not that far away and who knows what else is lying around , look in the back of the pictures . I see an El Camino , maybe a duster or demon . hidden gold in these hills . :smoke: sell everything but the cab for scrap , buy $,2000.00 of sheet metal and next year she's a beauty ! I've got a few l6's everything else is just time .don't be scared it's just metal .

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
Hey grumpy, if you go up will you look at the 71-72 grills for me he has that one listed for 50 and the other for 125

A1971Blazer 07-22-2016 07:13 AM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
I'm going to call about it just to kinda get a feeling for the seller's opinions on it...now days everybody thinks everything(they have) is worth a fortune...


Grumpy is correct, there are a lot of hidden treasures around this part of the country.....ya never know.

One of my neighbors is coming up from Tampa Bay today to pick up a short bed builder , I'll try to get up there today if he still has it and it has a title .I've got a 69-70 grille you need

Grumpy old man 07-22-2016 08:40 AM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
Called and left message ,how many of you guys decided hey may as well give a call ?

In The Ten Ring 07-22-2016 09:31 AM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
I don't have the time, the money, or most of all, the space for any more "problem" vehicles. Calling him would only waste his time.

You guys have at it though.....probably some ultra rare 292 in there worth thousands. :lol:

*I'm sure Permatex could be gotten in drums. You may need it!

I am not restoring any 69-70's I have a 68 project which I have almost everything for now and the newest addition to the corral is the 72 highlander project which I have started collecting parts for now :chevy:

I thought about buying it to cure my wife's constipation.....if I came dragging that truck home....she would sh*t......:lol:

ck5566 07-22-2016 12:10 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
It might have 1 or 2 good parts but my .02 cents I would leave it right where it sits

Grumpy old man 07-22-2016 12:36 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
Well you all are scaredy cats ! 😁 I just bought it , good frame ,radio delete ,flip seat ,AND A CLEAR TITLE with vin tags intact . Good old boy with a bunch of old trucks and cars ,it's titled as a 1968 chevy c-10 and he has the old front-end parts.

Anyone need GMC grille ?

For the guys who haven't done it before this is how you get a short bed frame for free . It will be a complete part out ,I have cabs and engines .

She's a beauty ain't she ?

good job Grumpy old man!!

Grumpy old man 07-22-2016 01:04 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
When you start adding up the parts 6 intake exhaust ,column ,seat,tail lights,grille ,etc,etc, it's worth a LOT more .

I would have jumped all over that here in GA. Glad you did! A good shortbed roller frame is worth a good $600 down here, easy. But, knowing me, I'd get it up and running and sell it. Does it have any visor rust?

500 for a shortbox with title, good deal

GR8-68 07-22-2016 07:54 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
So did you make the drive up yet Grumpy ?

Grumpy old man 07-22-2016 08:19 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
No , I sent a deposit and he sent me a detailed bill of sale guarantee of clear title I'll go pick it up next Sat morning .it's all for sale as parts soon .

Sweet, wish I could ride along with ya.. I would love to check out his parts stashes ;)

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
I would have snapped that up in a second just for the matching frame, intact vins, and title. Have everything to put it together.

midniteblues 07-22-2016 10:42 PM

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 
If ya ask me that's not a bad deal for a real swb. Sure it looks rough but a good frame and title is really all ya need too start and of course a decent cab also.

Around here you might get the frame and a little more for 5 bills but not a complete truck. But it also depends on the seller.

Did the op decide too pass on it?

Vin CE148B

V8 1/2 ton 68 Baltimore something tells me this old truck has stories to tell yet , I can't wait to dig thru it and see what's really going on .if the cab doesn't have major issues I have all the parts to put it back together as a Chevy with a coil spring rear frame using parts from a long bed frame I've been looking to sell . I also have a very nice Gmc short bed frame that needs a rear axle . Can anyone tell how many nubs are on those wheels ? You know sometimes buying these things sight unseen can be an adventure in its self .Like I needed one more project ,I just can't keep from buying somewhat intact $500.00 trucks ! And it's only 70 miles away .

I mean really it's priced at scrap value .
