69 C10 with 58,000 mi. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ammocrypta · 08-08-2005, 09:50 AM

Hello. I'm new here and definitely not too savvy about these classics. Just a biology professor in Mississippi who inherited his grandfather's 69 C-10 about 5 years ago. I have kept it garaged and it came from the dry climate of western Oklahoma. It has 57,000 original miles, but currently it won't start (not getting gas to the carb.) and has a driver's side window that is not working. I am planning on fixing these things and was wondering if anyone could give me an idea about what it is worth. I would like to sell it after I get it in good working condition.

Much thanks in advance!
Chris

FIRST, welcome to the board from Central Mississippi. Home of.....well.....nevermind!!!

You have GOT to be kidding me!!! You want to SELL you grandfather's truck??? I have turned down many-an-offer for my grandfather's '69 C-10. It isn't worth all that much, but money couldn't touch it!!!

But if you must sell it, and assuming you are trying to sell it in Mississippi, with everything working, and if the rust isn't out of control, you can get $1500-$3500....just depending on how bad the buyer wants it. Absolutely MINT condition, you might even pull in $5000, but I wouldn't suggest you hold your breath on the $5k.
Remember, around here, they are almost a dime a dozen, and people see it as just another farm truck. I am not trying to step on your toes, but I doubt you will get rich. Don't get me wrong, IT WILL SELL, but you won't retire from MSU from the profits.
Now, up north, if it is nearly rust free, you can do a LOT better than down here.

If you have to sell it, I wish you the best. Post up some pictures! And if you are ever in Jackson, give me a shout. We love meeting members!!!

Thanks for the info. Putter! I'm in Jackson on a regular basis - my girlfriend is there. Let me know if you know of anyone interested in my truck. It is red, minimal rust, and of course, the low mileage!

Welcome from the southern end of Mississippi. My daughter just started up at MSMS, so maybe we'll get to meet up on one of the many trips I will be making up to Columbus over the next two years.
