How much would you spend
 

Hey guys my names Paul I have a chance to buy a 1970 chevy c10 longhorn 4 speed 350 v8 from a buddy of mine it's been just sitting in the corner of his yard he wants 1500 for it ,he has the window sticker from when then previous owner purchase it in the 70s for $4100 there's no rot on the truck beside the wood floor of the bed it starts if you put gas down the carb but the gas in the tank is old and smells bad.the dash says 86k for miles . It's goin to need to be clean and gone though.My question is 1500 dollars to much for this truck and what would you pay ? I think 1500 isn't to bad for a truck that has 0 rot compare to on craigslist in Connecticut you can't find one under 2k and it has rot

Re: How much would you spend

Re: How much would you spend
 

I think they may be a C/30 or C/20, not a C/10. Buy it!

Re: How much would you spend
 

Thanks guys I'm Defenitly goin to buy it the good think is I know it's not goin any ware all my other buddies are saying it's not worth it I think it is ,I made a parts list just to see a estimate to get her back on the road and I was lookin and about 650 not including wheels or tires

Re: How much would you spend
 

Sell me those hub caps if you getting new wheels lol

Re: How much would you spend
 

There the old style wheel with the ring that locks the bead they look deadly lol

Re: How much would you spend
 

Also 69rumbler I'll let you when I actually own the truck :) I've you want the hubcaps

Re: How much would you spend
 

Awesome .. I have some rims on my truck but for some reason I really like those hubcaps lol . Dose the truck have tool box on the side of the bed

Re: How much would you spend
 

No I don't think it has a tool box built in to the side of it

Re: How much would you spend
 

I wish I had 1500 bucks I want this truck lol hopefully guys you see me on this fourm thanks guys who let me know its worth now to see what I can sell or see if the bank will give me a loan

Re: How much would you spend
 

Agreed big time!

Re: How much would you spend
 

I think I'm gonna go to the bank in the am and try to get a little loan in the am lol

Re: How much would you spend
 

I'd try and wiggle him down to $1300, offer $1000 because its not running and you don't know what all its going to take to get it up and running, but if its no dice and he won't budge i'd still feel ok at $1500.

Re: How much would you spend
 

I agree with swamp rat. you never know what someones real # is and the worst he can say is no. go for it

Re: How much would you spend
 

Those wheels are deadly! You can get some 16" Ford wheels with nubs that will let you use your hub caps.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Yeah i hear those wheels are death traps lol my plan is to go to my buddy house and offer him 1200 but his dad his stubborn and would reather it sit there and rot instead of lowering the price he's also got 1970 429 scj ford Torino and a trans am just rotting away because he wants a outrages amout for them

Re: How much would you spend
 

If that's the case, it's worth the $1,500 and then some, especially in your area. How did it survive so well... and a work truck at that?

Re: How much would you spend
 

i dont know how it survie this long it was a roofers truck who past away and the wife gave it to my buddys father we had it stated but the gas in tank is shot smells so bad the inside is all orginal the seat is ripped but the only thing i dont is the bed floor cause it is loaded with roofing stuff

Re: How much would you spend
 

Sounds like a cheap build, go 4 it and welcome to the Forum

Re: How much would you spend
 

I hope I get it the good thing is I know it's not going anywhere

Re: How much would you spend
 

I am a haggling fool but on that truck I would have given him a deposit until I could have gotten the money together, and had a big smile on my face. No rust and I am all over it.

Re: How much would you spend
 

I would give him a deposit to but it's not for sale to anybody else that cheap cause his dad knows ill actually fix it,drive it , and appreciate it has a classic and not try to flipp it for more

Re: How much would you spend
 

So guys I went to the bank and tried for a 2500.00 personal loan lets see if I get it

Re: How much would you spend
 

Also notice it has manal brakes

Re: How much would you spend
 

That's not a problem. Adding a booster is a reasonable fix and makes a big difference. All the help you need right here on the forum. Good luck.

Re: How much would you spend
 

Also notice the tailgate is alittle beat up and the driver side cab corner is dented in but other then that there's no rot that I have found yet and the truck was last on the road in 2007

Re: How much would you spend
 

buy it..... you wont find one for that money in that shape in tri state

Re: How much would you spend
 

again like others have said....just buy it....well worth the money.

Re: How much would you spend
 

I'd still buy it.

Re: How much would you spend
 

I'm planning on getting it waiting for the banks answer then at least ill have a 1000 bucks to get her goin again

Re: How much would you spend
 

Here's a baseline... I paid $1500 for mine. 60,000 miles and very light surface rust. 67 small window

Re: How much would you spend

Re: How much would you spend
 

Guys it's not looking to good the bank declined me I'm. Trying another way to get the truck

Re: How much would you spend
 

Offer 500. Sure it's probably worth more, but who's the competition?
The rockers are shot whether it's visible or not.

Re: How much would you spend
 

See if he will let you make payments, and write up a contractual bill of sale.

Re: How much would you spend

Re: How much would you spend
 

Well guys I'm back I got the truck for 1200 it has 86k on it he's letting me give him 100 bucks a month but I messed with it today I cleaned the points and drained the bad gas put 5 gallons of fresh gas and changed the filter I. The carb and it fired then I kept spraying carb cleaner it her to keep her running , and after a little bit it idle by itself but I notice the carb base gasket was leaking so I pulled the carb but autozone didn't have the gasket so I still need that I also got new points but it wouldn't fire when I put them in so I put the old one for now back in it but....
There's brakes no pressure in the pedal at all there's fluid tho ?
And all the lights and wipers work but the am radio dosnt work i also washed the front end a little too
