those are the only pics i have so far...id be willing to bet its only a little worse if not the same elsewhere

GREASEMONKEY72 · 03-02-2007, 03:53 AM

the price sounds fair to me, looks like a solid truck as far as i can tell, nice color to

dave2953 · 03-02-2007, 10:11 AM

I would see if you can haggle on the price. It looks like it's been put together somewhat haphazardly, but that's purely my opinion. I also like the color sans racing stripes.

Primer69er · 03-02-2007, 10:23 AM

thats one ugly grille!

jkaylor68gmc · 03-02-2007, 10:26 AM

The grille? How about the wheels. Looks nice for that, You could really do alot and stay under about 10 grand. Figure on wheels and what you would do to finish it, wouldn't be bad at all.

it looks like a heck of a deal. it be cheap to reverse the molesting the previous hack did to it. throw a bench seat in there. replace the grill. and place stock rims or rallys you'd proably have a 5k truck in ca. that pass mirror sucks

IvelDesigns · 03-02-2007, 11:15 AM

if it truely is an rustfree as these pics show, i'd say it's well worth $1700

**special-K** · 03-02-2007, 11:41 AM

What year is it s`posed to be.Look it over real good.It`s not alot of money,but could be a cobbled mess.

supposed to be a 1970, and to whoever said throw a bench seat in there....the first mod i would do to a truck is switch to buckets lol. i dont like bench seats at all

regal8r · 03-06-2007, 11:14 PM

just got back from test driving this beast. i gave the seller a down payment for it. this is one SOLID truck. the truck was running pretty rich so when i get it home im gonna try and do some tuning and hopefully i can get it above 11mpg on the highway (thats what seller told me he gets)

edit: this truck is a factory power steering/brakes and factory air truck

regal8r · 03-07-2007, 03:49 AM

cmon guys

also, does anyone think i could get some money for the factory air stuff. i think its got everything besides compressor, likes, condensor, evaporator and drier/accumulator...hell i even got the vents

cfoust3 · 03-07-2007, 05:37 AM

Looks to me if you can put a thousand into it, it could be a great truck.

garold99 · 03-07-2007, 10:52 AM

I think you got a very nice deal. whats the bed floor look like?

Ole Blue 68 · 03-07-2007, 11:05 AM

Heck, that custom console must be worth close to $1000 all by itself...

PO mods aside, that looks like a very solid truck and a good deal for $1750.

its the VERY rare factory option....oriental strandboard

does anyone have experience with tuning the qjets at all?

bobthecop · 03-07-2007, 11:12 AM

Not bad for the asking price

68Mike · 03-07-2007, 11:39 AM

Price sounds good...get rid of the xtra speakers for starters...haha

1LoC10 · 03-07-2007, 12:22 PM

I think its worth the price... first thing I would do is get a new grill, and scrap the center council... but it looks solid

i would like to convert the front end to 67-68, and yea...im gonan do somethin about that console lol

RACINJASON22 · 03-07-2007, 08:07 PM

Looks like a good deal to me. I like the wheels too, not my first choice but ok. I would suggest another wheel-nut on the left rear and a good going over before too long of a trip.

wibilly · 03-07-2007, 08:10 PM

take the console out and use it to park the truck in. looks like a pretty solid truck less some of those custom touches

msgross · 03-07-2007, 08:26 PM

that's not a console... it's a casket for the guys dog... or his coffee table from college... I would drop it off first chance you get....
