How much would you spend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Lalla666 · 03-07-2014, 10:57 AM

Hey guys my names Paul I have a chance to buy a 1970 chevy c10 longhorn 4 speed 350 v8 from a buddy of mine it's been just sitting in the corner of his yard he wants 1500 for it ,he has the window sticker from when then previous owner purchase it in the 70s for $4100 there's no rot on the truck beside the wood floor of the bed it starts if you put gas down the carb but the gas in the tank is old and smells bad.the dash says 86k for miles . It's goin to need to be clean and gone though.My question is 1500 dollars to much for this truck and what would you pay ? I think 1500 isn't to bad for a truck that has 0 rot compare to on craigslist in Connecticut you can't find one under 2k and it has rot

Those wheels are deadly! You can get some 16" Ford wheels with nubs that will let you use your hub caps.

Lalla666 · 03-07-2014, 11:15 AM

Also 69rumbler I'll let you when I actually own the truck

I've you want the hubcaps

69Rumbler · 03-07-2014, 11:17 AM

Awesome .. I have some rims on my truck but for some reason I really like those hubcaps lol . Dose the truck have tool box on the side of the bed

Lalla666 · 03-07-2014, 11:18 AM

No I don't think it has a tool box built in to the side of it

Lalla666 · 03-07-2014, 08:16 PM

I wish I had 1500 bucks I want this truck lol hopefully guys you see me on this fourm thanks guys who let me know its worth now to see what I can sell or see if the bank will give me a loan

Lalla666 · 03-07-2014, 08:21 PM

I think I'm gonna go to the bank in the am and try to get a little loan in the am lol

swamp rat · 03-07-2014, 11:34 PM

I'd try and wiggle him down to $1300, offer $1000 because its not running and you don't know what all its going to take to get it up and running, but if its no dice and he won't budge i'd still feel ok at $1500.

FRANKENSTEINC10 · 03-08-2014, 08:26 AM

I agree with swamp rat. you never know what someones real # is and the worst he can say is no. go for it

Lalla666 · 03-08-2014, 11:38 AM

Yeah i hear those wheels are death traps lol my plan is to go to my buddy house and offer him 1200 but his dad his stubborn and would reather it sit there and rot instead of lowering the price he's also got 1970 429 scj ford Torino and a trans am just rotting away because he wants a outrages amout for them

67ChevyRedneck · 03-08-2014, 11:41 AM

If that's the case, it's worth the $1,500 and then some, especially in your area. How did it survive so well... and a work truck at that?

Lalla666 · 03-08-2014, 11:48 AM

i dont know how it survie this long it was a roofers truck who past away and the wife gave it to my buddys father we had it stated but the gas in tank is shot smells so bad the inside is all orginal the seat is ripped but the only thing i dont is the bed floor cause it is loaded with roofing stuff

chaff · 03-08-2014, 10:12 PM

I am a haggling fool but on that truck I would have given him a deposit until I could have gotten the money together, and had a big smile on my face. No rust and I am all over it.
