Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

My '72 K20 was bone stock when I bought it in 1977 and not much has changed. Can't recall exactly but I paid roughly $3200 -- $3300.

Bought it from a guy who took it on trade for some concrete work from the original owner, so that makes me the 3rd owner.

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

I bought my Orange '68 C/10 Stepside in Pasadena, Calif, in June 1973* for $1200. It had a factory 292 L6, SM465 4-speed, 3.73:1 gear ratio, 7.00x17.5 tires, West Coast Jr Mirrors. 516 Orange.
All manual. Most likely a fleet truck. Only 6 entries listed on the SPID.
The odometer read just under 80,000 miles. Now it shows about 406,000.

*Hey! It's our 50th anniversary.

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

Bought my truck spring of '85. $1,500, K10 Custom/10 and had been rode hard and put away wet several times, LOL. Rusty, beat up and wore out but it was a 4x4! Drove it for several years that way then decided time to clean it up if wanted to save it. Changed out the bed, both doors, hood, tailgate, both outer fenders and inner fenders. I did keep the cab, frame and running gear tho, Was a 350 with the SM465 for several years but bad knees and arthritis help the decision to convert to 350Th. Added factory tach, tilt column, am/fm radio, tow hooks, Edelbrock Performer intake, Edelbrock 625 CFM carb, custom seat Line-X bed spray with under bed tank. LOT more than $1,500 in it now,

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

I bought my 72 Blazer in 2007 for $1500. It didn't have an engine and one of the fenders was mismatched. I put a $100 engine in it and drove it that way for six years.

Now it has an L31 Vortec I built for 330 HP/400 Tq, completely rewired, 2 1/2 dual stainless exhaust, and I'm slowly completing the body work.

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

My Dad bought this 1970 GMC C2500 Camper Special new in 1970. I think he paid $3600?



When he died in 1993 it was given to me. I used it as a daily driver until 1999. That year I tore it down to start the restoration. Long story short it wasn't finished until 2018. I lost track of the total cost. So I guess you could say this truck cost me somewhere north of $45,000. Here it is today.







This is a photo before the interior was finish. That steering wheel has been replaced.

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

I didn't technically purchase mine, my wife did. Paid $2000 for it for my 25th wedding anniversary present. That was in 2020. Still mostly stock (283, 3OT) but I have lowered it, rally wheels, relocated fuel tank, and converted to power disc brakes up front.

Delivery day and today.

About a year and a half ago for 12k. 67swb on 72 chassis that had the frame cleaned and painted, engine rebuilt mild performance Sbc , new bed, exhaust, stock suspension gone through w 2/4 drop, good tires. I’ve put about another 6k into it but a lot of that is preference stuff (gear swap, different cam, AC, cosmetic stuff..). My daily driver now

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

Bought first truck in 2001 and paid 8000.00 which I guess was lots back then but loved everything about about and was rust free at the time. I had been through a personal rough patch the 2 years before so was time to do something forc me. Had a newly rebuilt 396 and turbo 400 trans. Sold it 2014 but learned lots about the trucks and used it quite a bit over the years and think I put 8/9000 miles, remember up here can only use the truck for 6 months a year, on it over the 13 years I owned it when I sold it in 2014.

Re: When did you buy your truck and how much?

Bought this one off Ebay out of Oregon in 2012 and all in with shipping and exchange had 6000.00 tied up in it. Was a 307 with TOTT and factory overdrive that worked and it only had 61,000 miles. Rust free CST with factory A/C and a cherry interior but needed the wood box for redone. Shoulda, woulda, coulda kept this one and sold pinky then but when driving it keep getting hung up in second gear which ticked me off big time so sold it for a tidy profit. In retrospect I should found someone to rebuild what it need to stop the hanging up in 2nd gear.
