Re: 1969 C19 CST with Camper Restorations - Value

I'm not interested in flipping it for $5,000 at this point. I've learned a lot from this post and will not paint it. I'm not going to lower it either. But I still haven't learned whether replacing trim, door handles, worn looking items will devalue the truck.

And, can someone suggest what I should do with the wheels? I realize "leave it like it is" is one option. But I only have three "original" hub caps and the original tires are bad. I've ordered Coker 3 1/4 white wall radial tires. Should I paint the original wheels and add new hubcaps? Or leave them worn looking and buy new hubcaps? Chrome wheels?

Thanks

Repainting the wheels white with new tires won't hurt a thing. Post a wanted ad on the board for some nice hub caps

As for trim, I think I would just leave it, unless you used GM NOS trim on it.

Just beware of some of the crap repo parts.

Polish that thing up, fresh white wheels, white wall tires, a nice set of hub caps, and that will get way more attention than a restored truck

This says it all👍



You have, a very original truck
And
Quite desirable, as you are finding out

I'm glad you found your way to this site


I'll give you a matching hub cap (for free)
If you keep it original

Re: 1969 C19 CST with Camper Restorations - Value

don't waste your time and money painting or replacing anything.it will not be worth it on such an original truck. now if you plan to keep it do whatever you want. I am not too far down the road from you so if you do need some used original parts let me know . good luck and have fun with it.
