Is This a Good Deal? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bassfishman · 02-13-2010, 08:19 PM

I joined this forum to get some advise on a truck I found today. It is a 1972 C10 Cheyenne super Olive green LWB 350 Auto AC 1 owner 80,000. It has aways been in the garage and has had seat covers on the seats since new. The truck has no rust on the origional paint and has not been started in 6 years. I can buy it for $5600.00 Is this a good deal? He is holding it for me and I need to make a decision

bsm78 · 02-13-2010, 08:22 PM

depending on what your intentions are. judging by the pictures you couldnt take 5600 bucks and fix one as nice as that one.
its definately worth that. but if you buy it i would not touch it or try to fix anything.

Nova70 · 02-13-2010, 08:26 PM

Wow.... I would jump on that if I had the money to...

100gold · 02-13-2010, 08:27 PM

Buy and buy now. Nice truck!

jsmithbm · 02-13-2010, 08:35 PM

why have you not posted pics of it in your driveway!!! BUY BUY BUY

**tnblazerk5** · 02-13-2010, 08:41 PM

welcome to the board

and no that truck needs to be here at my house

OhOneWS6 · 02-13-2010, 08:45 PM

Great deal. That is a nice survivor. Hopefully you are looking to keep it original. That is too nice a truck to cut up. If you are wanting to customize one, I would still buy that tuck and re-sale it. Probably a little money to be made on it.

tommys69/454 · 02-13-2010, 08:46 PM

would be a great deal for you. what is with the rear hub caps? (looks like front 4wd hubs) good buy you will not be disappointed.

Those are the original hubcaps for a 72 Cheyenne Super.

bassfishman · 02-13-2010, 09:42 PM

Thanks for the advice. I just told the owner I will buy it. I have no intentions of doing any customizing to the truck. I am going to have a flatbed bring it to the house, change all of the fluids and get it running. The paint just needs a good buffing and I need to repair the rear wheel arch ( you can see it in the picture). The owner backed into a pole and bent up the tailgate pretty bad so I will need to get a new one. I will post some more pictures when I get home and cleaned up.

That is the very rare 4 wheel locking hub option

FRENCHBLUE72 · 02-13-2010, 09:29 PM

72BlckButy · 02-13-2010, 10:06 PM

Be sure to post some pics when you bring it home; definitely worth the money.

**WestButteTruck** · 02-13-2010, 10:37 PM

QKENUF4U · 02-13-2010, 11:01 PM

i HATE long beds but i would have to figure out how to get the money together for that truck. get it running and trade/sell it off for a super nice short bed...

COACHMEASON · 02-14-2010, 12:50 AM

Yeah..if that thing was a short bed you would be stealing it...
