Any input on this 67' C10 I'm going to look in to? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bow Commander · 01-23-2013, 05:47 PM

Hey there,

I'm going to contact the owner about this truck. Looks like he lowered the price from 6k to 4.5k but forgot to update the body of the message.

Anywho, what do you think? Seems like a nice truck for the money.

If it's as nice as it looks in the pics and everything works right and the body is rust free and straight, I would pay $4500 for that truck all day long. I love the 283 / 4 speed combo too. It might actually get better than 12 mpg...

Duly noted srvivor, thank you.

Pictures can sure be deceiving. I already learned that the hard way on another C10 I found on craigslist.

Sicklajoie · 01-23-2013, 06:51 PM

Not too nuts about the Pep Boys mirrors.
Tough to tell about anything else.

**Stocker** · 01-23-2013, 07:48 PM

The pics look very good, certainly worth a closer inspection in person. Don't put any stock in the 77K miles claim though, no way to tell unless he has complete documentation since new.

Bow Commander · 01-23-2013, 09:54 PM

Thanks for the input. I just noticed the mirrors. I'll keep that in mind about the 77k claim.

Mirrors are an easy fix. You can get both sets of original style arms, screws, gasket, and round mirrors for like $75 total

Just checked... The seller has now dropped his price to $3700. Like I said before, if the truck is as good as the pictures look, this is a REALLY good deal now.

I saw that too! Thanks for your input. I'm going to call him today. I'm really crossing my fingers the Chevy Gods will come through on this one. I would lower it a bit and put on white smoothie wheels with beauty rings. Here's the pics for anyone not wanting to click the link.

Good luck! I'm dying to hear how this works out for you. Don't leave us in suspense!

joesgreen67 · 01-30-2013, 04:22 PM

What's that on the fenders? are they marker lights? Certainly not original......67 = no marker lights

Mr Chevorlet · 01-30-2013, 04:46 PM

I would pay 4500 for that, it is a steal. if its not hidding something under the skin or body

67swb72klb · 01-30-2013, 02:57 PM

thats a steal if it is as good as the pics look
i would get moving on it good luck

Billett · 01-30-2013, 03:07 PM

I agree with these guys. If it's as nice as those pictures make it look you are practically robbing him. Hope it works out!

PanelDeland · 01-30-2013, 09:58 PM

I agree it looks good for the money.Also heed Mr.B's advice .

BTW are you related to Duck?

As in Duck Commander?

No, Sir.

So far I gather from you guys that the mirrors, and the little side markers on the front fenders are not factory. Anything else look non OEM? I know the pictures aren't exactly hi-def.

**70cst** · 01-30-2013, 10:33 PM

WOW... for $3700 ... that is a very fair price. What I see just by the pictures are most stuff are easy fixes. That truck won't last long at that price unless there are issues the pics don't show. Good Luck

quick60 · 01-30-2013, 10:15 PM

That would have a 6k price tag around here and if you waited till sunday at $3700 youd be to late.

*Mister-B* · 01-30-2013, 11:33 PM

One more thing..not sure if you're aware of this, but the '67 has a coolness factor to it. If you wanted a '60's era Mustang, the 64 1/2 convertible is the most desirable for most, right? With the 67-72 Chevy trucks, there are years that tend to have a coolness factor over others. Of course, this is opinion, but I like the 67, 68, and 69 the most. The steering wheel on the 67 and 68 is better looking and less prone to cracks (which is why I just installed one on my '69). The front grill on the 67/68 is different than the other years. Some call it clean, others find it to be a little less desirable than, say the '69 that has a big beautiful metal grille. Also, the mirrors on 67/68/69 are the cool long arms with round heads. I just added some new ones to to back to stock. The '69 like mine had a one year option for dark navy blue interior, with door panels that have the tooling on them and the chevy logo. The '67 has the one year only small back window. The disc brakes on the 71/72 would be nice, but I don't care for the grille or the door panels as much as the older models. '72 also has a stick on window mounted rear view mirror, vs the cool old vintage ceiling mounted mirrors.

Anyway, there's more there, and is opinion, but I think most would agree the '67 definitely has a coolness factor.

Excellent info! I'm soaking it up!

Just from the time I've spent looking through all the picture threads on this forum, I've definitely taken a liking to the slant nose C10 years. 67 and 68? I love the side trim on those years too.... How it is low on the body and follows the wheel wells.

Yes. That's another difference. The 67/68 had a slant nose hood with chevrolet across the hood. The rest had a bull nose hood. 69/70 had the emblem on the front lip of the hood, with chevrolet across the grille like mine below (I've since replaced my emblem with a factory one that has the blue backing piece). The 71/72 has the chevy logo on the grill

Agree with the coolness factor on the '67's. Unique in many ways. Of course, im biased...

Bow Commander · 02-01-2013, 09:49 PM

Well, gentleman. I just got a call from the owner, he sold it today.

Which, I don't blame him. I blame my 8-5 from letting me go look at it sooner. It's friggin' DARK by the time I get off work so I had to schedule the meeting for the weekend.

SO FRUSTRATING.
