Nice trucks, and nice pics. Could you post some of the selling prices (if you remember)?

Any ideas of prices.?

**DeadheadNM** · 04-12-2015, 01:23 PM

Thanks for sharing. The screen above the 72 K10 Super lists $35k - any idea if that is the sold price?

Yeah that one sold for $35k plus the buyer has to pay an 8% buyers premium plus tt&l.

I'll see if I can go back and find out the prices on the others. I know the light blue GMC short box had a high bid of $11k but the seller had a higher reserve. It was kinda rough too.

mooseknuckles · 04-12-2015, 04:09 PM

wow! those are all very nice.

1972BlueC20 · 04-12-2015, 04:16 PM

Here are a few more trucks I saw at a local car show and my truck is the last pic

I though about going to the mecum action too.

1972BlueC20 · 04-12-2015, 08:42 PM

Dude you should totally come with us next year!!

**special-K** · 04-13-2015, 07:37 AM

Nice assortment of trucks. I like that '70 C/20. Pretty nice job on a 3/4t. I like them all, but my favorite was that light blue GMC. The short K/10 was super nice for sure. Your Cheyenne/20 looks right at home with the others.

Possmguts · 04-13-2015, 09:01 AM

That black one with the side dump cut into the bed is how I plan on doing mine. Looks good and will sound even better.

EARNHARDT#3 · 04-13-2015, 09:06 AM

I love orange and white on these trucks! I always chuckle to myself at the name "Mecum". I mean they're nice rides but geez!

I know as soon as I walked through the door and smelled the pure american muscle in the air, mecum......a little....

engineer_gregh · 04-13-2015, 10:28 AM

I plan on going to the Indy show in May. I've went a couple of years ago and I had a great time. Thanks for sharing your pictures, and I hope you enjoyed the event.

rharp · 04-13-2015, 10:36 AM

I was in Houston for a conference at MD Anderson and saw a group of Mecum auctioneers at my hotel. I wanted to jump in with them instead of going to the conference!

**IronCanine** · 04-13-2015, 12:57 PM

Here are the links to a few of those trucks. They listed the Super as a 71. Passenger side door is a 72, couldn't make out the rear view mirror, and of course they've got 72 door panels. May or may not be a 71 or a Super, regardless, got '72 stuff on it. Still brought $34K:

The C-20 with dual quads (some things I just don't understand):

The orange Blazer that brought 39K big ones...rough around the edges stomper...take home message here...if they're on stage, the top's got to come off if you want to get paid:
