headlight bezels look nice

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

Plenty of patina for everyone :lol:

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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.

1st picture shows rear axle awkwardly forward???

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

Where's it at ? I'll go look at it , I.see a ton of parts . look past the rust .

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

That'll all buff out. ;)

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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 !

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!

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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

There's enough patina there for six trucks!

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

I wonder if it comes in 55 gallon drums...?:lol:

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

Let me know where it is at... I will go get it without hesitation...

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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.

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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.

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

Look at the other good stuff he has though unfortunately he already sold the k10

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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

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.

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

Called and left message ,how many of you guys decided hey may as well give a call ?

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!

Re: Thoughts on this truck....
 

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:
