Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
The wife has given me the OK on buying a daily driver that will help me finish up my 67-68 project. So I am on the lookout for a really nice 67-68 C10 with...Big back window, SWB, and would love factory air. prefer fleetside but not a deal breaker. The body needs to be in perfect shape, all rust repair done and a great running gear. Im not too worried about suspension bc mine is pretty much complete.
Any help would be GREAT!!! I really need to hurry while she is being so generous. ![]()

Methinks finding a SWB with a perfect body and a great drivetain is going to tough to find for $6000, but good luck bro!

Even if its a Fo-67 (71 with 67 front clip) I am fine with it.

Re: Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
I'm just saying SWB truck with perfect sheetmetal in great mechanical shape usually goes for more than $6000, no matter what year it is from 67 - 72.

Re: Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
I am def. not picky about the parts... it doesnt have to be all OE parts and it doesnt even have to be painted. A good running gear and all the rust repair done will work.

Re: Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
It doesn't matter if your picky or not. To clarify what he is saying, a SWB BBW 67-72 that is rust free, with a reliable motor, A/C and good paint is going to run more than 6k.

I'm siding with the previous poster's that as far as $6K for a Daily Driver without rust is gonna be impossible to find, unless you steal it! and that's just my 02 cents. ![]()

Re: Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
I've had quotes between 600-1000 to ship from AZ or CA to VA....so if you can find one around 5K...it would be worth looking at and maybe having a member here check it out if there is someone close to it...
you might find one for around 6K locally (deals do happen)...but it won't be painted and it'll be gone withing about 2hrs of being posted on craigslist ![]()

Also I would search up to $8500-$9000 advertised cost. Mine was bought for $6500 when the po advertised as $8500 in CL. I was just very nice and honest and told him I LOVED his truck but only had $6500 in the bank. Just tell them the truth that your wife gave you a budget and hope they are married and understanding, and need to get rid of it. Then be prepared to walk if they won't sell it for the budget you have. Posted via Mobile Device

Love it, but I would lower it a Tad More in the Rear and call it "Dream Cicle or Cream Cicle", just like the Orange Ice Cream Bar. See ...every vehicle I've owned has had a Name/Theme to it. ![]()

Re: Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
I just read your build thread....with the frame being almost done...I'd look for possibly just the parts (doghouse-front clip), a nice cab, and a nice bed...then add your engine...
If you buy another project you might find bondo again.... Or....look for a project that someone is abandoning...

Re: Wife approved spending $6000 on daily driver!! WOOOHHOO
Don't be afraid to look for 3/4-ton longbed trucks.
That's where the deals are now. Easily converted to 1/2-ton suspension,... and some are loaded big block trucks.
