Facebook market place , and Craig's List, postings, have rapidly become the norm, rather than the exception. There is one thread for craigslist postings and one for Facebook listings. That thread is not for people to post their own vehicle for sale, but is there for you to share what you see out there for sale on other sites. The 67-72 and 73-87 sections have their own version of these threads. We do not have any current plans to get rid of these threads.

Posts of this type are either closed, or deleted in very short order, but continue to hang around long after they are relevant. The posts that get closed are not deleted so that the original poster can find and read the post. It also serves as somewhat of an audit trail to keep us as mods accountable.

I became a member of this forum when I purchased a 1964 C10, and needed help with the restoration. We appreciate each and every one of y'all that come to the site and make it a viable resource for many, many people.

Many, many, of my questions were answered with the help of other members

I understand some members, myself included, are interested in seeing the value of our trucks, but there already is a subforum for posting vehicles for sale. We do not put the Facebook or Craigslist threads in the trucks for sale section because the trucks for sale section is only for trucks being sold by Premium or above members.
Please let me know if you have any other questions

Thanks,
Christian
