Free C10 1966 straight six swb fleetside - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mrp82391 · 04-22-2014, 02:13 PM

Was told I could have this truck for free with title and keys. One owner. All of the parts seem to be there except the passenger side mirror is different. straight 6 3spd on the tree. Not sure if it's worth fixing up, the floor pans and sill are pretty rusty. I'm not to familiar with chevy trucks. I was told it ran when he parked it ten years ago. The only dent is on the roof and its not creased. Looks like the most basic model one could purchase for the time. Driver side window regulator is locked up. Small crack on the windshield. Thanks for any help!

For free? Hell, why aren't you already there? It would scrap for a few hundred! Looks like a pretty complete original truck.

BTW, welcome to the forum.

Great find!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I have been seeking parts for this truck, other than LMC truck what are some other good part distributors. Also, what kind of value does this truck hold(ball park estimate), I don't think it is very rare.

Free is always worth fixing up!

It doesn't look like it would take much to get it going again. Just a little bit of TLC and some patience. I hope to see more of your freebie in future posts!

Welcome to the forum!

this truck value is going up by the year so anything above free is gold right

66Submarine · 04-22-2014, 03:21 PM

I just noticed it's a SWB fleet! Those are the most desirable ones. I don't really deal with SWB trucks, but I'd guess that would probably be an $800 or so truck around here.
