original base price - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tphsmith · 01-20-2009, 11:35 PM

has anyone kept or found the window sticker on thses truck?, I'm curious what base price was, and to what a loaded option truck price was off the dealer lot

**Ron 586** · 01-21-2009, 12:08 AM

My 72 plain jane c/10 was $2254 in 1972. It came standard with a 307 V-8 and 3 on the tree transmission. It has no options.

Note the lighter and radio deletes are still in place.

MT1972cheyenne · 01-21-2009, 12:23 AM

Jeez, it didn't even come with a heater fan lever!

sorry.

tphsmith · 01-21-2009, 12:28 AM

is that the same truck you drove last year, for the Nationals had in Maggie Valley?

Indyuke · 01-21-2009, 12:30 AM

And not even a cig lighter! I like it. Simple and functional.

Yeah, I got lazy when it started sticking I should have lubed it but didn't. I broke it about 2 weeks before that picture was taken.

Yep that's it. Old Big Orange. Got it back up and running and still drive it when I can.

thirdstreettito · 01-21-2009, 12:38 AM

NADA usually has it, but not on trucks...

Yeah it's plain and simple. I bought a power steering box to put on it but won't until I can't steer it anymore.

*ksjh1316* · 01-21-2009, 12:43 AM

That had to be rough for the original owner everyone smoked and needed a cig lighter in the 70's

Nope! Both the original owner and his son both chewed tobacco and the momma dipped snuff.

OARNGESI · 01-21-2009, 04:26 AM

The origional price for your truck should be printed on your title

Enough said...

**special-K** · 01-21-2009, 06:48 AM

I can give base prices from a `71 dealer book on any Chevy model through 30 series.

tcb-1 · 01-21-2009, 07:36 AM

what the....!

I have never seen a heater control without the fan switch!

Can anyone elaborate on that setup? Are they rare? Is that a heater delete truck too?

Sport/Truck · 01-21-2009, 07:53 AM

Not a plain jane but heres what I've got with my truck.
It says $3,241. I also have the sheet he used to order it listing everything on it.

ChevLoRay · 01-21-2009, 11:32 AM

I have a copy of the Truck Data Book for '69. It has base prices, dealer markup, shipping, and specifications for C/K series 10-30, including every option that was available from the factory. It's dated April 1. 1969. No, it's not an April Fool joke.

**special-K** · 01-21-2009, 02:35 PM

Not quite what you asked,but an example while we`re talking prices.Stepside/Fleetside prices are the same:

`71 6cyl.shortbed C/10.............`71 6cyl.shortbed K/10
list $2,600..............................list $3,165
sug.retail $2,806.....................sug.retail $3,414
factory d&h $206.....................factory d&h $249

`71 8cyl.shortbed C/10.............`71 8cyl.shortbed K/10
list $2,715...............................list $3,280
sug.retail $2,930.......................sug.retail $3,537
factory d&h $215.......................factory d&h $257

tphsmith · 01-21-2009, 04:18 PM

Special K this is realy what I wanted to see , because this could go on for awhile, lots of these trucks were built, I was just well ok 12 at the time but its cool to see what everyone has

My 69 K20 and 70 K5 are both that way. The middle leaver controls the fan speed.

tcb-1 · 01-21-2009, 06:08 PM

^^^

I'm a dork. mines that way as well. why was I thinking that the fan was controlled by a separate vertical switch to the left. guess I was picturing an a/c setup.

now back to the discussion.......

**special-K** · 01-21-2009, 09:09 PM

The two knob heater controls are a custom job.
