man, rusty as all get-out if you ask me

knsmodels · 03-13-2006, 12:09 PM

Wonder if that barn even had a roof......

farside847 · 03-13-2006, 12:22 PM

Washer bottle on the wrong side and non-stock carb and air cleaner, but those are easy to swap. The price is right! (for now anyway)

ChevLoRay · 03-13-2006, 12:48 PM

I do not trust the mileage statements on auctions, like this one has said. If it only had 14K miles, even if it had been used for a minimal amount of time, it seems to me that the rockers would not be rusty.

If this mileage is right, my truck only has 11K!

67chevemall · 03-13-2006, 03:08 PM

ya I would say 114 000 miles for sure if not 214 000

Oh well good deal......

67ChevyRedneck · 03-13-2006, 03:27 PM

They had better put this one back in the barn until there are no more usable trucks left, then maybe it would be worth something

I serioulsy doubt "the county" only put 14K on a truck and sold it. Some people actually don't realize that older vehicle didn't have that extra "1" to denote over 100K. AND it was a plow truck. Probably washed 3 times a year and covered with salt spray everywhere.

In all seriousness, if the price stays where it is, it would be a nice buy for someone who wants a 4x4 conversion.

**special-K** · 03-13-2006, 05:38 PM

If it was just used on the grounds of say a Community College,the mileage could be low.And,if it mostly just plowed snow,sat,and not hiway driven,I can see it rusting like that.
BUT,I think it`s at least 100,000 more.What happened to the pedal pads?

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-13-2006, 05:48 PM

Good bargain, at the moment

JAKES 68GMC · 03-13-2006, 05:50 PM

Tsk tsk tsk. Peterbuilt floormats. You would think he'd get Mack ones instead.

For 250 bucks, it doesn't look TOO bad. Good parts truck anyway......

*gn4u2c* · 03-13-2006, 05:55 PM

I'm calling that one out. why in the heck would a set of headers and a holley be put on by the county ???? why would the pedals be so worn my truck has 100k and they are in better shape. maybe its just been sitting so long the figure it was 14 as you can see the numbers dont line up well . thats a sign of a 100k flip

72armyswbtruck · 03-13-2006, 07:00 PM

Wow, only 14,000 original miles, I wonder about it?

jostrans68 · 03-14-2006, 02:22 AM

it also show c20 emblems on a 4x4 Hmmm

409biscayne · 03-14-2006, 02:39 AM

I bought a county 68 c20 with 44k on it , it was in 50 times better shape than this one , i sold it on ebay for decent money. This one looks good for parts though

**Canadian694x4** · 03-14-2006, 02:51 AM

Hard to believe it's just 14,000 miles...decent enough deal tho...for someone looking for one year only 4x4 front drum brake parts I guess...

A K-model 3/4t truck would either be a C/20,Custom/20,CustomCamper/20,or CST/20.

I don`t see a whole lot wrong with the truck,just the seller.It`s a straight,solid,and unmolested truck to me.Alot of trucks with shiney paint and custom wheels for many thousand dollars are no better.

1969 GMC · 03-14-2006, 10:22 AM

If the seller was right and was indeed a county plow truck, I would say pass. I've seen what happens to fleet vehicles that wear snow plows, it isn't pretty.

Huskerboy2 · 03-14-2006, 11:50 AM

The seat looks like it could be 14,000, but that's about it. The tailgate lettering has been painted over what appears to be quite a while ago, so it's probably been repainted. A true 14,000 mile truck, especially a work truck owned by the county, should be wearing it's original paint.

**special-K** · 03-14-2006, 09:29 PM

That seat is in fantastic shape.For that fabric,especially.
