Heck yeah...leaky windows and door seals etc. or parked down by the beach. I've seen some bad rust (some of it was in my driveway)

I paid $1300 for my shortbed, and $2500 for my GMC.

Shortbed made it home under it's own 292 steam. but I wouldn't call it running.

GMC runs good and is pretty solid 350/350TH but needs rockers.

No pic's of it yet, I dropped my digital camera on the tile floor and that's all she wrote.

well, it wasnt so much the rust, but in my area there are 0 trucks with a 4spd in them, unless you wanted to go get a farm truck from the central valley

truknut · 11-27-2005, 08:31 PM

I bought my 1972 for $700.00 and drove it home. About a 2 hour drive. Factory air, 350 V8, auto., ps., pb., 101,800 original miles, old LWB farm truck. I'm really enjoying working on it.

**hevy_chevy67** · 11-27-2005, 08:35 PM

$250 Canadian

Couldn't drive her home, but she was in good condition.

chevybill · 11-27-2005, 08:35 PM

inheirited from my grandfather, so zero initial purchase cost.

HeavyD · 11-27-2005, 08:41 PM

I paid $700 for my 70 GMC LWB, am trying to turn it into a 68 chev swb, and have $4000 into so far. It barely runs and needs another 15K or so. I enjoy fixing stuff on it but if I would have known about this board I would have learned enough from you guys to buy a southern truck and not fix junk.

matthufham · 11-27-2005, 08:39 PM

2800, but it was 3500 until he spun a rod before i could come and get it.

68haywagon · 11-27-2005, 08:42 PM

$600 for my rust bucket...but I drove it home

Mike

I bought my 69 CST LWB 396/400 ,buckets/console & AC for $350

**Palf70Step** · 11-27-2005, 09:06 PM

I paid $1,000 for the 70 Step (250/3 spd) and $2,500 for the 69 Fleet (350/T350).

Jayss109 · 11-27-2005, 09:16 PM

$1800 on ebay for my 72LWB, blown motor "(needs a starter)"! and over $1k in DMV fees since the @#!@&*! never gave me a title. Damn hard to get one for an out of state truck that used to be registered here but got registered in OK, sold on ebay twice blah blah blah, got a new Pink slip yesterday!! only took 4 years! ITS MINE, ALL MINE hahahaha evil laugh =)

purple gas · 11-27-2005, 09:31 PM

I paid $ 250 cdn. It was a truck that sat for 12 yrs and a few people had " borrowed" a few parts. There wasn't much there. but I did find a receipt for $300 for the new windsheild that was in it. had it 2 yrs, put about 20 miles on it and dumped I don't know how many hours and dollars into it so far. But , you gotta have a hobbi, and I don't knitt.

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 11-27-2005, 09:53 PM

Got mine free. Dad bought Grandpaw a 1983 Silverado for 500 bucks and traded him for it, but NOW the truck's mine and I didn't pay anything for it. I've put a lot of work and money into my truck and it ain't ever gonna be sold.

Next on the list is about 400 dollars for some new rear tires........

weasel29gm · 11-27-2005, 11:27 PM

3K in '86. Best investment I ever made. Offered 4k bringin' it home by a guy on the interstate. Somebody always wants to buy,so I price so high they walk away.

powell72 · 11-27-2005, 11:33 PM

I traded for a set of wheels......but I had $2400 in them- my wifes logic.
The wheels had been paid for long enough the truck was free- my logic.
Which way do I vote?

72MARIO · 11-27-2005, 11:52 PM

Paid $350 it was droped off at my house. Sold $400 woth of parts and spent over $25000 and 5 years getting it to what it is now.

midyearvet@aol. · 11-28-2005, 12:48 AM

$3400.00 Out the door, Brand new in 1970 & still have it.

OhioDan · 11-28-2005, 06:10 AM

Paid $500.00 initially. Had a 400 small block, someone had put together with weather strip aheasive on every gasket in it. (yes, "EVERY" gasket) Had a rod knockin, so I towed it from one side of Houston to the other back to the house, and put a 283 in it and drove it till I wore out the 283. Put a 350 in it until I wore that out. Decided 11 years ago to fix it. Budget, kids, other projects, have put it on hold through the years, but still pluncking away at it. Might get it done before I die?
