A good Truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**desertnick69** · 02-11-2012, 03:08 PM

I am looking for a replacement to my 1969 Chevy C-20 (been with us 42 yrs). Any near Phoenix, Az. That i don't have to rebuild from the ground up?[

**too much stuff** · 02-11-2012, 03:21 PM

OUCH!!! That will NOT buff out i am afraid!
Welcome aboard, shouldn't be too hard to find a clean replacement around your area. Try the trucks for sale here or craiglist. Good luck.

I just checked Craigslist for Arizona and there's a couple nice C/20's in your area.

67swb72klb · 02-11-2012, 03:37 PM

thats too bad about the truck hope nobody was hurt

**FirstOwner69** · 02-11-2012, 03:47 PM

Is it beyond repair? Tom Korinek ("t korinek" on this forum) is in Mesa and has many parts for these trucks. He usually has some listed in the parts for sale section, but he has many more. Fenders, hoods, core supports, etc.

I'd hate to see you give up all that family history with your truck.

Judging by the picture if the door won't close I'd say there's some pretty good frame damage.

1972RedNeck · 02-11-2012, 04:19 PM

It looks like there is some good parts on there.

50bomb · 02-11-2012, 04:38 PM

Hopefully that doesnt happen to my 67..But if it does I am getting a 60-61 apache c10 longbed next haha

That's true.

I just bought the front suspension off a 72 C20 Tom is parting out. I think he may still have the frame, and it looked really nice. No axle or front suspension. I guess it all depends on how much work a person wants to do to preserve a a family "heirloom".

I hate to see pics like this. Hope you can get another C-20 up and running.

**Already Gone** · 02-11-2012, 07:21 PM

Are you wanting another C20 or a C10 ? If you are interested I can give you a lead on this real nice original 70 Longhorn that is in Nevada.

**special-K** · 02-12-2012, 09:37 AM

That white '68 Longhorn in Arizona (on CL) looks like a winner!

**Already Gone** · 02-12-2012, 12:58 PM

I sent you aPM this morning with the info for the brown 70 Longhorn. I found the attached one on EBay this morning and it looks pretty good as well.

Anyway Nick found this truck and I suggested he could ask if there were any board members close by that would/could check out the truck in attachment for him. If someone can do this for Nick please PM him for hios email and phone number.

Well I was going to look at one truck i had a line on and found this one in the yard with a "For Sale" sigh. Not a bad find for 800.00. 1969 C-20 A/C cab every thing works, A/C need new comp, no rust issues, and I have most any thing as far as body parts to replace.

eightbanger · 03-04-2012, 10:11 AM

I t's bad enough that the accident happened at all, but after being in the family 42 yrs...that's very upsetting.
Good luck with your search mate, and welcome to the board.

67anthony · 03-04-2012, 10:51 AM

Sorry good luck on the hunt.

**desertnick69** · 03-04-2012, 11:03 AM

The truck in the top photo is my old one i picked up the silver onre yesterday for $800.00 not a bad find just need to knok off the rough edges. I will post my build as i progress. Thank you all for your support.

yuccales · 03-04-2012, 12:46 PM

Congrats on your find. Glad you got another one. Price seems good.
