I couldn't get any pics tonight, too dark. I may be able to get some on my way in tomorrow, if not I will get them Thursday. |
Re: Reality Check
I agree with findin' the best body possible. The rest set you a budget and stick with it. For example say you want to spend $200 for a seat and find one for $100, saved a $100 for something else. I've list every buy and know within a $100 of what I spent. Build within your budget and you'll be fine!! Good luck

Re: Reality Check
If it comes to it, where do I get ahold of a rebuild manual for the tranny.

Re: Reality Check
just speaking for myself i always noticed that i would tell my self that i couldnt afford a project truck until one day i realized that i had already accepted defeat. i would have never owned one of these truck had it not been me buying one and fixing it a little at a time. iw ould have never gotten one. the second thing ive noticed is you dont have to throw your money at doing a total restoration on these trucks to enjow them. if you start watching these forums to much youll let stuff get in your head. its nice and everything having a totally rebuilt truck, but its not cost effective and 90% of the time youll barely get the money invested in a total restoration back but to each his own. my recomendation is that if you want one of these trucks you better get while the getting is good because im starting to see more and more of these trucks on the road evreyday. i say get it fix it and drive it for a while and fix things as you go cause if you dont then if you cant afford one now bu the time you get your next raise the value will have went up on these trucks some more and youll be on here again wishing you could afford one. the ultimate reality is that if you buy one and it sits for a while you can always sell it if you have to. just my 2 cents

And some more. As you can see it will need rockers, the cab corner I am not sure about. The hole is half as thick as my pinky. Don't kill me on the pics, my wife killed the digital, so they are camera phone.

Re: Reality Check
One more question. How heavy of a trailer can I tow with the c20. The SPID is all but gone. I did see something about springs on it though.

Re: Reality Check
I looked at the door tag last night and it says 7500# GVW. So assuming the truck weighs 4500#, that means I can tow 300# right?

Re: Reality Check
I thought you should be able to tow more than that given that you see 3/4 tons towing fifth wheel campers all the time and I know they aint light.

Re: Reality Check
Well, so much for that truck. The owner wants 2000 for it and the tranny definitely needs to be rebuilt. I don't think it is worth that much, at least not to me. So the search continues!

Re: Reality Check
Im new here but can agree on waiting for the right time, my wife has wanted a 67-72 c10 swb fleet since she was alittle girl, and we have come across some trucks but they just were not the right ones then we came across one that was a decent driver with minimal rust for 1,300.00 now for cali thats a hell of a deal, but its about waiting until the time is right, im more then positive that you will come across a great deal, it may not look like what you want at first but remember that a true car/truck guy can see what it will look like,not what it looks like.
