Looked at this truck today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I went and looked at this truck this afternoon. It isn't advertised anywhere. It has the usual Iowa rust and has been sitting for quite a few years. It is only 7 miles from me. They want $1500 for it. It isn't in the best shape but I would say it is saveable. It was originally a 3 speed manual but someone installed a floor shifter in it.

This Suburban is in the same building.

Put some air in those tires and hit the highway, Doc.

**AussieinNC** · 05-07-2020, 08:04 PM

If I were closer I would grab it....

They are getting harder to get every day...especially ones that are essentially unmolested...

**jocko** · 05-07-2020, 08:16 PM

nice truck nice price, hope you grab it Leon

**EdwardSams** · 05-07-2020, 08:56 PM

Wish I could find something like that in NY!

**too much stuff** · 05-07-2020, 10:33 PM

Its funny how close some deals are sometimes. Doesn't look too bad...

**68bowtie** · 05-07-2020, 10:34 PM

Nice!!

**Boog** · 05-07-2020, 10:39 PM

YBNORML · 05-07-2020, 10:42 PM

I spotted another one right here in town the other day that I had never seen before. (1700 people) I am going to see if I can find the owner tomorrow if it isn't raining.

I agree with you. Its the same in most of Western PA. If that truck was in our area, they would be asking 5K. It all depends on location.

67C10Step · 05-08-2020, 08:12 AM

I'd be scooping that thing up at that price! Especially since that is my exact project and a second one is always better, right?

tim_mc · 05-08-2020, 08:23 AM

Short bed step-side, all one color original paint? Oh yeah, grab it Doc! For that I'd be tempted to make a road trip from STL.

Richard2112 · 05-08-2020, 09:41 AM

That actually looks in good shape. Paid 1500 for my C30 and towed it from another state. 7 miles away is close. Get a friend to help you push it home

**bigmac73** · 05-08-2020, 09:59 AM

your lucky i am not in Iowa or i would come and grab it quick, as I am wanting a short stepside for my next project

do not pass this up for that price. trust me you could flip it easy

68Gold/white · 05-08-2020, 10:42 AM

Nice "Work'n man's" pickup!!!

Markuli · 05-08-2020, 10:43 AM

Yep that would be a $7500 truck in my area... If barn finds in my area ever existed, that is. I wish I had the networking skills to find these off-the-web deals!

Mykids69 · 05-08-2020, 10:44 AM

Is that a blue and white Suburban in the background???????? Do you know the story on it?

BLAZERMAN · 05-08-2020, 10:47 AM

Those 1 year only stepside fenders are not being reproduced and are highly sought after. The Suburban looks really solid, maybe make a package deal on the pair? If you have the room to store them I cant see how you could go wrong.

Thanks for the input guys. I don't need to be in a hurry on this so I am thinking on it. I have a few things working against me right at the moment...

Hey Rob,

I have plenty of room to store them. The suburban has rust around the bottom. Problem is I can't get down far enough to take lower pictures or slide underneath because of my recent back surgery.

**dagnabbitt** · 05-08-2020, 10:58 AM

I couldn't put a price on that truck because you would never, ever, not in a million years find one like that up here.

If that bed is in good shape I'd say its worth the asking price. I have a super nice set of 68-72 fenders for my 67 project but I'd really like to find some 67 step fenders and not modify the ones I have.

If I were closer and Loc didn't want it I'm with many in that I'd be all over it.
