Went to look at this 67 CST 327 auto ps pb air big window lwb with my father as he's getting the itch for a c10 again after I bought mine. Described as having "some rust you can fix or drive as is" and being running and driving. Turn out to be a bondo special with nearly every panel needing replacement or patch work including everything from the kick panels down on the cab. The cab supports were basically nonexistent and a few good bumps would knock the cab clear from the frame if you dared to "drive it as is". All for the low asking price of $5500. Unfortunately dad isn't too keen on buying something not in front of him but I think I'm wearing him down on going Roadkill style. |
Growing up in the rust belt (Ohio) myself I certainly can sympathize. Live in the North Carolina now. I've lived here for the last 26 years. When I first moved here in 91 you couldn't drive a block without seeing one or two decent 67-72 trucks sitting around and most could be bought fairly inexpensively. Today they are few and far between but still can find a few. The prices are certainly climbing and the quality is decreasing but never the less they're some left in the wild. I definitely think you're going to have to get out of the North East to find something that not going to require a ton of sheet metal work.
Good luck with your quest.
