Actually the guy gave 20 bucks back so they cost me 280. The buddies are very nice, complete, rust free, and even the foam is in good shape.
He was a real cool guy with many nice completed rides and plenty of projects. When I initially called him he wasn't sure if the seats were factory. He said he had trucks with buckets and consoles before and thought they must be rare because he had only seen these seats once on a TV show. I let him know they are called buddy buckets which looked to be from a 68 and they were optional in 67-68 for the higher trim level trucks.

Honestly, I figured after our initial conversation on Wednesday the deal would have fallen through since I wasn't able to pick them up until Saturday. I thought he would have googled buddy buckets and then either not answered my calls or would have made up a story about selling them (money talks).

When I picked them up it seemed that he wasn't interested in them as he has plenty of projects such as the beautiful square body 4 door 4x4 he was finishing. We traded car stories, I got the grand tour, and he told me about the loss of his best friend. If I lived closer I'm sure we would hang out. I let him know that I would be using them in my 68 SWB 4x4 305 V6 4spd, he commented that he always wanted a GMC v6 because of the way they rumbled at idle from their odd firing order. He said he had a 72 c10 as a DD for 15+ years and the stories went on for a good 45 minutes.

Anyway the Frankenstein 2wd GMC the buddies were in was stripped and the cab was either a 71 or 72 because of the door jamb vents.

That looks like a good candidate for a CLR bath, very unusual set-up.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I picked them up 100 for a pair of relatively rust free fenders was too good. the drivers where the battery dripped was the only rust.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds

My old stomping grounds! I grew up a few miles north of there. Plan on making a trip this summer to pick up a 68 from my dad.

Is there something I am not seeing on this truck?

I could handle having this in the garage.

Definitely a cool truck originally but the price is just ABSURD!!! $26,500!! Some people are just :crazy:

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Really wish some of these were closer to me.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I don't know if a 4x4 can be a Highlander. A custom deluxe with white door panels, tilt steering, AC, and houndstooth seat cover ( which seems like a common replacement for the correct plaid) makes me think this could be a hidden Highlander! It is a beautiful truck

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

why cant any of these show up on the east coast?!?!?!? ive seen about 5 pop up this year alone and every one was in Washington or California

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

i tried that end of last year and unfortunately it did not work out :/

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I don't believe there were any factory K highlanders Mike, was only a C10-30 option if I'm not mistaken. If there is one out there though, I'd love to see the SPID, that would be very cool.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I agree that is high, however, it's worth pointing out how rare this bird is: Sierra Grande, Custom Camper, K20, factory buckets and tach (and aux batt, and and and). They don't come along every day. The tires and lift don't work for me... (but that can be changed back to stock). This would be a jewel restored, however, by then you'd have $50k in it with this starting price. Was originally a solid med olive truck.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

They're out there. Looked at a solid hugger orange K20 with promo package "C" about 13 years ago.

This is taken from a post in the "Do you have a 1972 plaid truck", by SSTim.

But the fact is any Fleetside with Custom Deluxe trim C10-30 and K10-20 could be ordered with the Highlander trim upgrade. Most of the 4X4s are Blazers and you might want check out that thread too.

Curiously 4X4 Suburbans were not offered with the Highlander option.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

theft recovery replacement vin
'some' of the stolen unique option parts 'replacements' included
original paint, body, wood bed in modest condition
show parked in 'barn' for effect

there is a '71 k20 in my future, but I wouldn't even waste my time trying to offer a realistic price for this one..

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Wouldn't touch it with that chopped up SPID and modded sheriff's plate.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Yup..... Someone is not telling the whole story there....

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

That VIN tag is issued by CA DMV. If the thieves messed with the original plate. It would be issued a new VIN.
