WIW 1971 Chevy truck

[67Mach1]

found on side of road out in farm country, owner wants 600 for it.

WOrth it? Supposed to be his grandfathers truck and parked for 4 years. Rebult trans 5 years ago. Had receipt. Engine rebuilt about 7 years back. perhaps 30K miles on it since build but nothing done to it before it was stored.

Rats have eaten all the plug wires and a few others.

Lots of rust I am not sure if anything can be used w/out repair on the body, Fenders, rockers, floors, roof, bed cross memebers behind tires and even cab mounts. I do have enough parts to make this thing live again but would make a gread doner for a SWB frame I have.

Well if the engine and trans are like lhe says, I'd give him 600 for it

not to be picky or anything, but that has a 68 GMC steering wheel, with a 72 highlander seat, and 73-87 rallys. AC is also some sort of add-on/aftermarket thing... now to the actual question at hand, id say its worth $600

True, the seat is from a 72 Posted that photo just to see who would notice and how fast. The GMC wheel was more obvious and the aftermarket A/C was the only thing his grandfater put on as an aftermarket item in the 70's supposed to be working when he last drove it also.

Rims are good by me.

Thinking the saem thing in regard to value. I might use this cab on it as it is easier to fix...

i was wondering about that i love those seats so that was the first thing i noticed.. i had to look a couple times to figure out what was going on with the AC. its defintly worth $600 though, really the only bad i see is the cab, and it needs a tune up thanks the the rats

my 71 k10 had one of those seats in it... they werent available at all till 72?

[Longhorn Man]

that is a super rare horn button, '67 ONLY CST (what, sierra for GMC in 67?) piece.
The rest of the truck... WELL worth it in these parts.

[sleepyboy]

I know this seat came from a 72 only because I was directed to this truck by the guy that sold it to him. The seat came from a 72 Cheyenne my buddy picked up. The seller told us that he had sold it to a guy living down the road that I found this truck on.



At first he didnt want to sell the truck, which I can undertand.

He recently called me and offered it at 600.00. A price I think I can justify.

Update:

Called owner and confirmed my purchase of truck. he said he had a new/replacement grill and some other parts in his shed to give me also. Even had origional radio and steering wheel too.

So that Rare 67 GMC might be going on the blocks.

Thanks

thats wierd about my seat not being original... im preety sure its green plaid

did they ever make highlander buckets?

[screamin_c10]

Hell, if the AC doesn't work I'll give ya $50.00 for the aftermarket comp and brackets alone!! For that price, I'd definately buy it and part it if the body is shot to hell.

[Peter82]

hell man i'd pay $600 for it but what i really like is the cow. i'd give him $600 for it insted. i always wanted a pet bull.

[72armyswbtruck]

Yup, definitely worth the price.

[cst70rocket]

The owners name isn't Kevin is it? Looks just like my cousins grandads truck.

[67Mach1]

The cow is not my pet nor his. When his mom left him alone he came up to me and we hung out together for a few hours while I wrenched on a truck.

Yeah Kevin is the owner, when I talked him the other day he asked that if I ever sell it I'd give him an option to purchase. A fair request I think. He is a very straightforward and good guy. I have another project in my garage and will be taking this to the farm and storing it indoors until I can figure out what do to with it.

There are no plans to completely part it out at this time. Then my plan is to leave it at the farm until I can start to swap out rust for non rusty parts and to throughly compair and evaluate the cab situation. None of my other trucks at the farm are even this close to being complete.

Pretty wild that you recognized the truck. I sent you a PM let me know who you are and I will tell Kevin you recognized it.

Now dont go calling him and talking him into backing out on me .
