Finally got some pics $450 72 c10 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Biff · 02-05-2007, 12:39 PM

Here goes guys. I finally got some pics. I froze getting them but tell me what you think. It started right up this morning (it was -6 degrees out). I was impressed! Now to get it rolling down the road under its own power!

stllookn · 02-05-2007, 12:42 PM

It sure makes it easy to spot where the water might leaking out of all those rust holes...LOL! Great looking project...you got a great deal! It looks to be pretty decent shape except the typical rusted out door bottoms, rockers and corners.

timcos · 02-05-2007, 12:43 PM

I would buy it.

If you have 450...it is a no brainer.

Looks like it could be a daily driver with issues. The issues will drop up as you drive it...so save your pennies.

As long as the drive line is good and the heater works...you are good to go.

FRENZEL · 02-05-2007, 01:00 PM

I'll give you $100 for the grille an $350 for the bed. Look you made your money back.

Texasdeere · 02-05-2007, 01:02 PM

Nice! Looks like a great starting point. I would buy it too!

Richard Dobson · 02-05-2007, 01:09 PM

I heard that truck with camper covers have the best beds. Looks like there isn't any rust in the bedside panels like there is in the doors so I guess that's a good deal for you. Congrats

bad_turbo · 02-05-2007, 01:14 PM

looks like a great investment! Those pics made me cold, though

**ScottH** · 02-05-2007, 01:16 PM

Looks like a great deal, congrats!

Best of luck with your new project.

724x4a/cchevy · 02-05-2007, 05:10 PM

looks like a dang good start to me!

bobthecop · 02-05-2007, 05:29 PM

That is a sweet deal, better only if it was free.

arkracing · 02-05-2007, 05:38 PM

yep worth the $$. It started right up in -6 degree wether - even better. Just get the tranny fixed, check out all the brakes/brake lines and give it a tune up and you should have a decent driver with little work.

you gota better deal than I did on mine - that's for sure.

If you plan on getting rid of the wheels - i'll buy the hub caps
(what size tires are on that????)

Biff · 02-05-2007, 05:44 PM

The tires are 235/85/16. Look to be pretty new too!

and it's a 1/2ton - 6 lug??? with the 16" wheels???!!!!!!!!! Nice - I'll take the wheels & hubcabs

67ChevyRedneck · 02-05-2007, 05:51 PM

Is that original paint???? If so, some new door bottoms and paint and you've got a real nice hauler. How's it look under the cab and bed?

Great buy!

72k20+afew · 02-05-2007, 06:01 PM

Well worth the money i'd say you were nuts going out in this kinda weather to get it but i've been out gathering parts all week in this crap

Biff · 02-05-2007, 06:03 PM

The truck was repainted and the wood bed was replace in 1998. Lots of bondo in the doors as you can tell but the topper has been on since the new wood. It looks like new.

msgross · 02-05-2007, 06:13 PM

sweet! nice deal... did you buy it then? If not pass the deal on to a board member...

**tkeduk8r** · 02-05-2007, 06:17 PM

very nice... should be an easy one to do to.. I like the hubcaps.. look like my 68 nova dishes with the center of two removed for the front hubs....

s95930 · 02-05-2007, 06:24 PM

i'd take it!

sjarrett71 · 02-05-2007, 06:25 PM

That looks like a tough truck! I wouldn't change the looks a bit.

*rage'nrat638* · 02-05-2007, 06:49 PM

nice truck there brother

skchevota · 02-05-2007, 08:15 PM

Thats almost the same color as mine

Rokcrln · 02-05-2007, 08:24 PM

Great Deal! Now go put it in the pole barn and draw your wife a nice waarm bath while you are getting dinner ready for her

Looks like a good deal to me!

RACINJASON22 · 02-06-2007, 12:31 AM

Looks like a gr8 truck. You can't go wrong with that deal. Hope the snow didn't damage the wiperarm too much. I figured someone would have mentioned that. Keep us posted.
