Seraph · 10-13-2009, 01:24 AM

hey guys,
so i have been searching for a nice c 10 for a reasonable price that i can have for a project truck. My dad gave me the fever to get a project truck since i see him working on his suburban and blazer all the time, i figured it was my turn to have a cool truck

This is what i bought this weekend for $1000 bucks, let me know what you think.

i'll have more pics up tomorrow

red71c10 · 10-13-2009, 01:49 AM

Is that a Highlander? Looks like a real good start to me!

Longhorn Man · 10-13-2009, 01:57 AM

pretty nice lookin 350 powered 72 cheyenne super! The seat is highlander, can't quite tell if the truck is though

**special-K** · 10-13-2009, 07:44 AM

That`s alot of truck for $1,000...as in,you got a whole truck for a grand!! And,it looks real decent.The seat`s in great shape.Does it have the SPID on the inside of the glovebox door still?Who knows,but I think it could be a Highlander w/Cheyenne Super dash parts.Is that floor rubber or carpet?

68C15 · 10-13-2009, 07:45 AM

I see a couple of major problems from those pics.
1: the bed floor is solid and not dented beyond recognition
2: rockers are intact
3: the grille shell is not banged up
4: side trim is all there
5: it is all one color

in all fairness to a new member I will help you out. haul that wreck up here and I will trade even up for mine. that way you have things to work on and gain experience.

big_al_71 · 10-13-2009, 07:56 AM

First of all Welcome to the forum!!!!

I can see how proud you are of your nice truck, Congrats and keep the picts coming..

72BlckButy · 10-13-2009, 08:26 AM

to the board from Mid-MO!!

You sir, stole that truck! Definitely $1k well spent. Can't wait to see what you are able to do to the new project, so be sure to visit the project builds portion of the board.

Sinister · 10-13-2009, 08:55 AM

Nice score! Welcome to the Board.

68GenIII · 10-13-2009, 09:01 AM

Im jealous!!! That was a great buy!!

**70cst** · 10-13-2009, 09:07 AM

from Ohio Seraph ... I trust on the "memo" part of the check your wrote "Thank You" cause you got a lot of truck for $1000. I am also interested if the SPID label if it is still on the glove box door? That will tell us a lot about your truck. Seraph ... you have proven that if one is patient then one can find a good deal on these trucks. To many of us rush into buying ... you showed us that if you wait the truck will find you.

Seraph · 10-13-2009, 03:23 PM

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I am looking forward to being a part of this board, i have been lurking around this board for a long time and have found it has help me and my dad out a ton. but anyways here are some more pictures.
i have a question about the engine and the way it sits in the bay. There seems to be a big gap between the firewall and engine, it has been forever since my dad has owned a chevy truck and can't remember if they all sit like that. There are some more holes like the engine could slide back some more. That is the best i can explain it here are some pics of the engine and the mounts, hopefully they can explain it better

lol thanks in advanced.

It just seemed like there was a bigger gap by the fire wall then in any of our other trucks

just a few more of the truck

Yes the SPID label is on the glove box, but me being the newbie i am, i don't really know what to be looking for i can post a pic of the label if that is ok?

nicolas72gmc · 10-13-2009, 03:50 PM

Welcome fellow Texan! This is an awesome group of guys and gals on this forum. Don't be bashful if you have any questions. I agree with everyone, you got a smoking deal on that baby. Great looking truck. Looks like you're about an hour north of me, there are quite a few members right around our area. Good luck and enjoy your new toy.

Zumo · 10-13-2009, 09:44 AM

Looks like a great start. Build it up and drive the poop out of it.

kyull67 · 10-13-2009, 03:46 PM

Looks great! The extra holes are for the six cylinder mounts. Your engine looks to be in the correct position.

ratrod67 · 10-13-2009, 04:40 PM

Good looking project. I'm diggin that seat. I want one like that for mine but orange.

Jbham88 · 10-13-2009, 03:55 PM

Congrats on the Find

Longhorn Man · 10-13-2009, 04:36 PM

im not very familiar with the different packages these trucks came in, but i thought the cheyenne was above the custom delux?
can someone enlighten me please.

Longhorn Man · 10-13-2009, 05:07 PM

cheyenne super is the top of the pile option package. Custom delux is the one step over nothing.

Seraph · 10-13-2009, 05:13 PM

Thats what i thought! =) i still love my truck, the rain sucks!

lol

TonyJohnson · 10-13-2009, 07:13 PM

Welcome! That looks like a great start. Get her running and the games begin...

68C15 · 10-13-2009, 07:52 PM

from what I remember that is the correct place for a 2wd small block. a 4x4 would be back.
