Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

Not a problem.

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

The guys name is John, and I talked to him yesterday he said that he would do a test drive anyhow

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

Well Just talked to the guy and he said that the doors have bondo, and it only has one speaker in the dash. Also he said that the Vin plate was taken off to be polished WTF???

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

time to move on to another truck no matter what the vin issue is....if there's bondo in the doors there's bondo elsewhere and it's a matter of time until there are issues everywhere....

look up project "Jezebel" for my reasoning ;)

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

These trucks only came with one speaker in the dash.

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

I think this question was if the doors had speaker holes cut in them or not. The answer was that it only had the one in the dash.

I just wanted to clear that.

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

That truck is not t not that bad of a deal. A lot of people on this board spend over 2 grand just for a aftermarket short bed alone, then they go and cut up a long bed frame just to make it the way this truck already is. ( And then it will be a bastard truck for ever on)So its a cheap paint job. Better then a dinged up original paint job truck. If its straight and a real short bed your way ahead of the game. Just make sure its not full of bondo. 350s are a dime a dozen. Short beds arent.

Well I have been around the body repair industry since 1974 and I've never seen a repainted vehicle that didn't have filler of some kind on it.
If you can show me a 45 year old repainted car that is only paint on metal I'll buy you a steak dinner.
Is this truck a good buy?
I cannot answer that from here but if I was making an offer on it I would start about $3500 and maybe adjust from there.
Good luck on your search.

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

I didnt really mean some bondo I really meant excessive bondo. I have nothing against bondo per sa. My point is I dont think this st an unreasonable price. If I knew how to post a link I would do it for a truck i just saw on Craigslist. The guy wants $7600. the listing is http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/3808112391.html. and I added a picture of it.
As far as the truck in question is concerned, I cant remember seeing a truck like this one for what others say as a typical $2000 truck? What planet are they from. If someone gave me a long bed for free and said make it into this truck. I couldnt do it for $2000 bucks. It can be done by chopping the bed and frame but whats your time worth?

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

Oh I dint realize the listing automatically creates it own link thats nice.! So anyways theres the link.

What the heck is flood damage on old truck mean? It doesnt have BCMs ECMs,TCMs, digital dashes,fancy sound systems, fancy interior, and airbags and all the other stuff people worry about with late model flood vehicles. Pull out the carpet and let the thing dry out. What else?

SorryI wasn't doggin you.
just giving the OP some real world advice on restored/repainted cars.
I agree this might be a fair price but I would have to see it myself.
Thanks

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

Yeah, I hear ya, I like mentioned above, I dont ever think ill find a truck of this age with no bondo. My dad is going to talk to him. He said hes going to start at 3500 like stated above and go from there. I dont think its that bad from the pictures. Thanks for all the advice and your guy's past experiences. Great forum with a ton good people

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

Curiousas to how this worked out. FYI You can compare the vin # on the tag to the numbersstamped on the top of the frame near the steering box. As me tioned above, all old vehicles will have some bondo. You just need to be on the lookout for an excessive amount. If i was ever in the market for finished trucks i owd invest i. One of those gizmos ive seen that tells how thick the filler is. I forget the name...

Ill let you guys know how it goes. Ill have them bring a magnet. Ive also came across a nice 1972 Chevy Cheyenne Super, But I think its a little over priced. What do you guys think.

Re: How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck
 

Looks like a nice truck, although it doesnt appear to be a "super", for example no woodgrain or emblem on glovebox door, and no stainless cover on tailgate handle and most obviously no super fender emblems. Still looks like a pretty nice truck.

It comes down to whether you want a lwb vs swb and stripper vs bling. 3 ott trans either way, but easy enough to change.

Kinda odd to see 3ott in a cheyenne but stranger things have happened. I have personally come across two cheyenne supers and one cheyenne with 6 cyl and 3ott. Most peoe think that the cheyenne or cheyenne super package got you a v8, but it was actually an appearance package only.

Well my dad talked the guy down to 4400. He was impressed with it when he looked at it. and from what the other people pay for some of them. I think I got a good deal. Not a steal but something i can drive daily and its not a rust bucket
