Larry,
Let me know if you go pick up that truck with the bucket seats and what it looks like in person.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Hey Jocko,

I was scrolling through all the posts and on page 264, post # 6576, my brother bought that truck shortly after I got mine. He had his girlfriends brother look at it in Chicago and then made a deal. He had it shipped Denver Colorado where he worked on it at his daughters house and then drove it home to Phoenix.

Hello HO455. I see what you mean. This is just my personal preference but if it had been my truck I would have painted it some sort of original color that would have not clashed with the steering wheel. I like the color of the wheel, and GM had some nice blues back then. But to each his own. It is a beautiful truck !!

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Yep, that's a sharp one!

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I agree it is beautiful and the wheel color maybe great in real life. Sometimes colors on different surfaces just don't photograph well.

70 C20 CST big block w/cruise & a/c $4850
Looks like a fairly solid, straight body, relatively intact - great project at a decent price in my pea brain :)

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Must have been a nice one - it’s already gone.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I just put money on this one and will be driving it home when my 401k check arrives.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Ive been looking for an original truck. I haven't been able to get motivated on finishing the Chevelle, but I thought if I could set it up to pull the travel trailer to the annual rod run at the coast this year I would get busy on the bodywork. After building a hitch and pulling the trailer around, I decided, no, I ain't gonna push it. The wife said that she missed having one of our 68-72's that we've had so I thought that we could pull the trailer to shows with a truck and still have something classier than the 2000 Sierra. I like the fact that this truck is all but ready to travel cross country and bone stock with 130k miles. The minor rust areas have been taken care of and paint blended, so yeah. Taking the loan wasn't something I really wanted to do, but hopefully this works out.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Jacko,

99.9% of the time the trucks you post are right up my alley. I love pretty much all 67-72 trucks but my interest has shifted over the years to the C20’s and K’s. I think they are just more practical when it comes to actually using a truck for what it was intended to be used for. I really appreciate all the posts you provide. With that being said, this one doesn’t do it for me. I can’t explain it but when you see one you really like it just feels right. Please keep the posts coming. They help me gauge value and it grows my respect for the well preserved ones still out there. I’ve always meant to ask, what do you used to search for this?

Just looked at this truck. Nice driver that will need cab corners and a driver's door.
He said he would take 6k.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

^ already gone

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

What did it look like?

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

FWIW, I’m not exactly a fan of this one either - satin paint not for me, but body pretty straight and thought someone might like it. When it comes to 67-68, I’ve always preferred 68s for some weird reason. Maybe I feel safer with those new side markers ;) I generally search with CL in specific areas or SearchTempest.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I love that satin Blue color. Is that an original color treatment? (Satin)?

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

No, satin is a bit of a modern repaint fad. I think it looks ok as a clear coat over mild patina - just my personal opinion on it though, some do look nice. I give it three more years on Barrett Jackson and then everyone will be back to shiny.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

The white longhorn above— what’s that steering? Or just a weird angle that’s throwing me off

1970s Oldsmobile Toronado steering wheel. Having one years ago, I recognized it right away.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

It is most likely a receiver for a front hitch. I put one on the front of my C30 Longhorn when I had it so I could launch my boat when my big camper was on it which prevented me from seeing much behind. Worked perfectly.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Thanks for the explanation. I remember a friend having a 68 K10 that looked very similar to this blue in color and patina, but now I am sure it was just old paint that had faded in the Virginia sun and weather.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Jocko I haven't seen a paint sticker like this one in years.

Lucite Centari Imron and Dulux. Old school . And a lot of shops never put them on after a full repaint . We always did.

My yellow truck has factory blue interior. I thought someone has put it in. It surprised me when I bought it. Just picked it up a couple weeks ago.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

I found this sweetheart 72 on Craigslist in Portland a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Post Your Craigslist Finds
 

Can you post a picture of the option sticker on the inside of the glove box? I saw that truck listed, but never could get a response from the seller. It looks like a nice truck
