15k for this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2428354726
Seems a bit steep for something like this. I like what hes done with the tailgate but i know i wouldn't pay that much.... must be why he has no bids! ![]() Aaron ![]()

It's very nice, but I don't think i could shell out that kind of cash for that truck.

Poor guy is probably like me...I have $16K in mine, and it's not worth that much...all parts. The only labor is the exhaust and seat.

The way I look at it, if you go to the local Chevy dealer and want to buy a New truck, you will pay twice that amount for a truck that will last about 100k miles and be worth maybe $5k in 10 years. Then you look at this beauty and say, hmmmm $15k. Yes, a bit pricey but, it will always be worth it as long as you dont let your wife or kid drive it. Just my 4.7 cents worth..
Beautiful truck! ![]() |

I gotta agree with Phillip on his take on this one, and it appears as though its well taken care of.
Heres one for 12,500 http://www.gmcpauls.com/69_chevy_stepside.htm and another at $12,500 http://www.gmcpauls.com/72_stepside.htm one for $15,000 appraised at $22,500 http://www.gmcpauls.com/67%20Chevy.htm another at $21,500 http://www.gmcpauls.com/72CheyenneSuper.htm We see them sell regulary at $10,000-$20,000 when restored or rodstoration complete.

I also forgot to point out that anyone that does a full frame off is going to have at least $15,000-$25,000 tied up in one and most likely numerous years if they only do a good job, an all out balls to the wall eat off the frame rodsteration can easily run well over $25,000.00-$35,000.00 invested. So these trucks are on the money on price. You can find the same occasionally for $7000-$10,000 but they are becoming alot rarer to find.

If he did a frame off resto. He ran out of money. Look at the engine. For 15K, engine should look better than it does. Also forgot to hook hose up to radiator overflow. No AC.
Still its a nice truck, but not 15K. Looks better than my truck.

I expect the truck to look a little better than what it does for 15K.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by bigfredtn
....For 15K, engine should look better than it does. Also forgot to hook hose up to radiator overflow. No AC...... This is correct. It's funny how a paint job and new seats is called a "body off" restoration. This is a nice truck, but not worth 15k and not a complete restoration either. The motor looks like crap. What you guys are saying is true. If a shop does a true frame up restoration, even with a clean low mileage truck it will "cost" 15-20k in parts and labor. ![]() ![]() Go get a OEM quality paint job priced out. I don't mean Maaco either. I am talking about a paint job where everything is taken off the truck, all the glass and rubber is removed, and every part is painted inside and out like the factory did it. Any idea what it will cost ???? Hang on to your hats boys. You will spend 6-8k on a PAINT JOB! Keep in mind that if quality materials are used, about 30% of that is material costs. Good paint ain't cheap. If you want a color in the red family, it will cost a bit more. Now start pricing new rubber, and glass, and chrome and trim, and...well you know the rest. All that adds up quick, and unless this 30-33 year old truck has been kept in bubble, it will need all of this.....

bigfredtn is right, the engine looks like crap. Those trucks that GMCPaul posted look like they're worth every penny of the asking price. I really like that first one!

For 15k, I would expect:
*A NICE carbbed engine, or a well-done swapped-in fuel-injection *Overdrive *Coated headers *Air *A better seat *At the least some better tires *Better stain on the wood bed (needs a nice deep one) *More custom than those lame dress-up bits - those look like the chrome dressup parts from Autozone or JC Whitney, as do the tailgate and the bedrails *At the least a nicer looking seat I would say $10k, maybe.
