hey guys im new and i'm looking at 72 truck that ive always wanted and i need some help on price....

it's a 1972 c-10 longbed
2wd
350 and professional rebuilt and tuned carb with 149000 miles... good running
turbo 350 tranny
new windsheild and trim
new panhard bar
new wire harness
new starter
new radiator and hoses
steel floor bed
interior partially re-done
origianal arizona truck
maaco forest green paint change thats a few years old
few minor dents and almost no rust, corners, mounts and floor are fine. the small amount of rust is on rockers but isn't to bad....

it's guy that was gonna do a frame off resto but bought too much other stuff.

he's asking 3200 obo. should i just grab the cash and get over there or bargain with him alittle? i will be using this truck a full project ride with a full shave and a air suspension to the doors.

thanks in advance for what you guys think of the price!

That might be a little on the high side, around here a truck in the shape you describe would probably go for around 2000 to 2500.

I'm sure if you posted some pics somebody could give you a better idea of a fair price.

that's what junk trucks go for around here. I looked at another junker today that was priced at 3500... that seems to be a popular number here.

yea i was just pumped to see a decent body and running truck in my starting price range and about 15 minutes from my house. i'm gonna test drive it tommorow and maybe grab some pics. i might just offer 2500. if he bites that will be awesome if not we can bargain and go from there....

What you give has a lot to do with the area you are in. As mentioned by Big D that would be a little much in the South because rust free long bed trucks are common. In the rust belt finding a clean truck to start with saves lots of time and money.

Post pics and we can give better advice.

Much awaiting the pics, and I say If it is what you want and the metal is pretty straight then go for it

[tds]

yea i'm grabbing my camera as we speak. i'll get some pics of it this afternoon and post them up later tonight. hopefully the test drive and everything go smooth.

as you guys said thou area is everything. most good priced c-10's have no rockers, rusted mounts, and thrashed trailing arms on some i've looked at...

[tds]

Any specific pics you guys would like to see besides the normal side, front, and motor shots?

I'll be interested in seeing the pics. Sound like a nice truck and we all know longbeds are the best

(Okay, I'm a little biased since mine was a longbed)

Depends on the interior and other little details, but I'd say that sounds about right - especially considering where you're located. Probably pretty tough to find a minimal rust truck up there!

Mine was a C20 longbed, 700R4 trans, nice interior, in general "farm use" condition which means kinda dirty, but straight and in good shape with zero rust. I paid $3900. The best part? The 700R4!
