how rare is my truck?
 

hey guys i picked up my truck a couple months ago and i was wondaring if its a rare model or atleast not as commom. Its a 1976 c10 shortbed its a silverado edition and also a trailering special. i have seen very little trucks with the trailering special. Also i have not seen many of these in a half ton. It has oem hitch and towing package. It also comes complete with oem moldings which i have also seen very little short bed trucks with. what do you guys think? i paid 1700 for it it has a 350 that runs but tranny is slipping.

I dont know what its actually worth but I think you got a great deal .And I also dont know how rare it is but I would enjoy it ,nice looking truck.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

Can't help on the rarity, but that truck looks pretty good and I think you got a very good deal on it!

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

I might be wrong but I really do not think the truck is really rare. But good buy and just enjoy your new ride.

thanks guys...it also has actual badges on the side of the window that say "trailering special" it has some rust on the typical areas but thats all repairable...going to do a 5/7 drop on it and drop an ls 5.3 or 6.0 into it. i couldnt pass up the truck for the price.

Nice truck, but i think you may need some new tires. Lol

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

lol yeaa they are literally falling apart

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

Cool truck.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

Have fun with your new toy. Looks like you have a good start. I agree, those tires have to go.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

Its a great truck to start with. Not very common option. Do you have the option sticker still in the glovebox. It will have all options listed. I was wondering if it originally had the VR4 weight dist. hitch listed as an option.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

my goal is to do a oem two tone scheme similar to these colors

i love to work on it and jst to be able to do my own work im currently a college student so i have little time to work on it but i do the most i can when i get the chance. really wanting to do it right from the ground up or as best as i can

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

Great truck! Factory black with red interior is my FAVORITE! Just sold one that was a little too rusty.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

i think it does have the sticker i will check tomarrow for that! and thanks man it sure is a great start

"There are no rare squares" - as the saying goes.

You did, however, get a good deal.

Have fun!

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

Great deal. Man I love those slots. All time favorite wheel. I'd love to find some 6 lugs for mine.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

ok maybe not rare but how about not as common? jaja i was jst courious about that. also got some oem sport mirrors for it at a junk yard and the cheyenne smaller tailgate band for 35 for all

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

With no or very few small dents then that is a good buy.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

no dents whatsoever

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

I have never seen that emblem on anything but the suburban and k5's, kinda cool though it was definitly a special optioned truck per owner though, not a "lot" truck. So ya I would say "RARE". BTW great looking truck, love the Saratoga silver with red/crimson interior.

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

well i do not have the option sticker sadly but i did decode the vin and this is a 1/2 ton heavy duty truck

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

cool to hear that man! and thanks love the interior myself

Re: how rare is my truck?
 

My 76 Blazer and 77 Crew Cab both came with the trailering secal option and emblems. True that you dont often see those emblems on pickups.
