Don't see this everyday. https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/5737972011.html

**Mr_Rich** · 08-18-2016, 03:18 PM

This is my recent find; purchased from the orig. owner almost a month ago. It's got all the HD parts and it's going to take a lot of work. I get enjoyment from working like this so I think in the end it will be worth it. The truck came from an area that experiences 100+ degree temps so a lot of parts show sun damage. It's basically a very solid truck although it's dirty as heck and that's a project in itself.

I went and looked at this one. The owner doesn't state in the ad that this is a frame swap truck, but it is. 71 C10 body on a 73-80 K20 frame. Just in case anyone else is looking at it.

I called about that truck the first day it was listed, the first thing he told me was it was on a 73-87 chassis. He must have stopped telling people that because it kills the deal lol

I would like to get educated about this sort of situation. I looked up the CL ad, and of course it is difficult to tell anything in detail about the truck. Can you tell us what lead you to believe it was a POS when you saw it? And now when you look back on the ad are there things to look for in advertisements that are easy to miss? I have only bought one truck on CL and I got lucky. (Truck was in CA and I am in NY). Thanks for your help with this.

tonkatrux2 · 08-23-2016, 10:42 AM

The whole roof from pillar to pilar rusted out on inside, rockers are just pop riveted in place, kick panels rusted out, back cab dented, the motor had oil all over bottom side missed and had funny sound in it. Tires are shot, you could tell they just blew paint over crap. That's how I could tell POS.

tonkatrux2 · 08-23-2016, 10:48 AM

THe truck looked good till got about 50 feet away could tell I had got took. I have bought several trucks on Craigslist never been lied to like this. You put no rust, new motor, new paint call talk to guy about it sounded like good truck. Was told his best friend had truck for 10 years he wanted it bought it. From the pics I had no reason to think different I asked about the rust and motor when talked to him. I don't know what this world comes to when you can't give your word and mean it. I was always taught your word is all you have.

WOW! Thanks for writing back. I guess what it comes down to is whether or not you can trust someone. And that is not easy to do (as you found out). I am in NY and found a truck on CL in CA and had many phone calls with the owner. He was willing to send me additional photos. He even told me about an oil leak that I should get fixed if I planned to drive the truck any distance. In general he was FORTHCOMING, meaning he came forward to help me out. I did not have to pry information out of him. I guess we could start a whole thread on the issues related to buying trucks on CL. And as you found out even going to see the item in person does not mean you are safe. I appreciate the warning you put up about this guy. Is there any way to notify CL or put up an alternative ad on the CL tri-city site warning folks? I hope you can find some peace in the midst of all this. Thanks, george

I already posted warning on cl in same place as listed

I think I've posted that truck at least twice!

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure.

If I was looking for a truck and that ad was legit, I would buy that one. I love stepsides, manual trannies, and long wheel bases. All that thing needs is a spare tire on the side.

Not a bad looking 4x4 stepside.
