I can`t believe that deal!!!

QKENUF4U · 08-04-2009, 08:01 AM

and of course i have no money...

mclairmo · 08-04-2009, 11:42 AM

It's from Saltville. That name just makes me cringe with thoughts of body rot and cancer. Looks solid though and a good deal.

bigsnookmaster · 08-04-2009, 11:59 AM

Nice truck, but the fenders say it's a 71-72?

Ol'Rover · 08-04-2009, 12:01 PM

im on that ****. ill even go get it. thats one helluva deal

19673ontree · 08-04-2009, 03:38 PM

I know nothing about the truck but just to be clear saltville VA. is one of the better part's of VA. to get a vehicle , it is clean up there and they don't have coal truck's so if the truck is original to that area I bet it is solid ,

Ol'Rover · 08-04-2009, 04:26 PM

would be a good truck to drop a TBI 350 in and a 700R4 dontcha think?

70k52wd · 08-04-2009, 04:51 PM

Hard to find em that clean around here. I wish!

I agree on looking like a nice truck. The fenders were the same from 69-72.

55Nomad · 08-04-2009, 07:08 PM

Is that really considered a great deal?Am I just undervaluing these trucks?
I paid 2500.00 for this one in November and thought I did ok,but not a steal.

C-10 was on the fenders on 69-70, and I believe the custom10 was 71-72. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Sinister · 08-04-2009, 07:34 PM

We just had a thread about this. IIRC Base level '69-'70 got C-10, and Custom was a trim package below CST. '71-'72 base level got Custom badges.

55, I guess location and being a short bed c-10. For East coast truck, it's pretty decent. Is it worth that? I personally think it should be a bit less. But just to find a fairly rust free truck, it's hard to do.

What makes you say that?
EDIT: you guys addressed it already.
My '69 says "Custom/10".

19673ontree · 08-04-2009, 10:20 PM

if he would post some pic's of under the cab / and it is as solid and original as I think it should be then THAT IS NOT A DEAL ! IT's A STEAL !

above poster , long bed's are part of it , c20's are part of it , they are great truck's and not to be ignored but a shortbed / fleetside / c10 is in a different class and is valued different ,

Thats not a short bed

72BlckButy · 08-04-2009, 11:08 PM

I have seen that truck on Ebay once before. I think the price is good for a DD/shop truck, but I would be a tad bit concerned with the rust issues on the cab. The pics just have me worried.

I would actually pay a little more for a more solid truck, but that's me. If it were close by I would look at it first hand and then go from there. Pictures only show what it can capture....

well then I guess it's a good thing I needed a long bed and 4WD to carry my 19 foot 10 inch hangglider....I'd hate to be the one stuck paying an extra 1300.00.
And I guess we out west are a little spoiled with expecting,and finding, little to no rust out here.

70k52wd · 08-04-2009, 11:16 PM

I like the color. How bout you Nate?

72BlckButy · 08-04-2009, 11:26 PM

Oh I don't know it's not to bad I guess....

Actually there's another '69 (or is it a '70) on Ebay right now for $6k that looks to be a little more rust free than this truck. $6k is a little much for the condition, but it doesn't appear to have the rust issues this one might have.

I wouldn't throw either one out of my garage.

I wasnt trying to offend you just saying that short beds generally are more rare so they cost more

BAGNDRAGIT · 08-05-2009, 02:44 AM

does anyone believe the 28,811 miles on it? i mean its clean. but i dont know bout those miles. notice the no odometer pic...

no offence taken...
I understand rare,after all I have a 55 Nomad.
I'm just glad my need was for a less expensive truck.
I had never paid attention to 2WD drive prices or shorty's while I was hunting for one.I was surprised to see a short beds premium more than 4X4.4X4's had enough of a premium up her in the hills,no matter what bed,even missing bed, to scare me almost all the way to a 73-or newer Chevy to replace my Toad-ota.
Now... BEWARE!..Rice burner alert,Avert your eyes lest ye be blinded!
Here's the Toad!

70k52wd · 08-05-2009, 08:16 AM

Hey 55, your lwb 4x4 wouldn't last 10 seconds around here for 2500 dollars. We like those on the east cost as well.
