1969 CST10 4x4 shortbed good deal?
Looking at this CST10 4x4
AZ truck but obviously well used. Guy is at $8k firm. It runs and drives. Smokes a little on startup. Driver front wheel bearing loose aka lots of play. Needs windshield and lots of TLC Frame has been welded by steering box Rear leaf spring shackles have been welded to frame due to previous cracking Currently has 350 engine and 350 auto trans Was originally a 4 speed truck and guy says he has a 4 speed manual he will give with truck. Guy also give a short bed frame if I want to clean it up and move everything to other frame. As you can see in pics it’s rough but only rust through is the rockers, edge of cab floor and underneath cab supports. This caused cab to dent into bed a little bit. I know these go for a lot but I still think 8k is kinda big and I’d be happier at 6.5k but he won’t budge. What do you all think?  https://photos.app.goo.gl/PtARaonbmxBKdH4J6 How do I add pics?

Looks rough for Eight Grand.
Do they use Salt on the roads in Coconino County? I'm jaded on current pricing. I bought a '68 C/10 in 1973 for $1200. Took me two and a half years to pay off. I paid $2300 for a '67 K/10 Suburban in 1993. I paid $3750 for a K/1500 Jimmy in 1995. And I just bought a 2003 C/1500 Tahoe for $2700.

They use salt but this truck was mostly down south in AZ.
The frame is all surface rust but no rust through. Just seems like a lot of work for what he wants. Seems like all of these start around 5k for very rough examples and supposedly shortbeds are worth more. Not sure how much 4x4 adds to price. What’s a fair price $6k? |

With all the frame damage that truck has obviously had a hard life. If I were to buy it I would plan on swapping frames. Too many previous repairs to the one under the truck.
Personally I would politely explain that the truck was only worth $5500 to me then hand him my card and wish him luck with the sale but it he cannot find a buyer to call me in a month or two.

Apache and Navajo Counties use scoria, which is a crushed volcanic pumace -- locally reddish/brown. Aside from being extremly gritty, it washes off easy and is non-corrosive. All ''Arizona'' trucks are from Southern AZ, just like all used trucks have a ''Corvette Engine.''

Best of both in NAZ. They gravel the city streets and salt interstate so you get rock chips then salt in the wound.

I thought you couldn’t cut down a 4x4 frame

Might be worth looking for a Long bed and cut it down if you Really have to have the Short Bed

Re: 1969 CST10 4x4 shortbed good deal?
Turns out my dad loves it and doesn’t mind the 8k price.
I’ll continue the search for a better condition one that isn’t 15-20k price. Marketplace and Craigslist vices continue… |
