Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Going to look at a truck in a few days and want some opinions. Sorry I don't have pics so I know the ranges will need to be wide but I want to be prepared when I'm there. Its not on craiglist or anywhere with a price. More of a best offer type of thing, with a private party and not a general listing.
So, even if the body is junk, what would it be worth, assuming good frame, title, and VIN's are consistent and proper? It has some rust, would need at least cab supports/rockers/corners. Probably a janer since it has a 3spd. I have bought and sold several 4x4's but usually only K20's tempt me, and I haven't run across hardly any SWB 4x4's that aren't conversions or improper vins on newer chassis.

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Matching frame,VIN-plate,glovebox door,and title are worth $1,500 all day long.

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Tough call. There is so much that can be done now a days someone's rust bucket might not be worth the effort that another that you convert might be
Not sure if swapping a 4x4 to disc brakes is any different than a 2wd but that's a huge factor in my opinion. 71-72 would be worth considerably more to me over a earlier model but that's just me |

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
The frame,VIN-spec,glovebox door,and title are all you need to turn a clean rustfree 2wd into a rare bonafide rare SWB K/10. If the donor is a longbed you'll just need a bed which can be bought all new anywhere. That sets the bottom at $1,500. Might find one cheaper,but that's what they're worth.
We're talking correct original stuff here. Anyone that doesn't matter to can go another route,as so many do,such as shorten frame or use '73-up frame. The earlier years are far more rare than the later. Disc brakes and other later upgrades don't matter to an owner creating a rare and valuable authentic truck

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Well said Tim, I was ballparking 1500 myself for frame/title/spid/vinplate then add to the price if more of the truck is usable. I think the production numbers were quite low, only around 1800 or so in 68 but Im not positive.

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Seriously?
I have a horribly rough 67 longbox 4x4, no motor, trans is there, transfer case is there, axles are there, glove box door is there. It would need every body panel including a cab. I would take way less for it than $1500.00 Oh and I would get the title for it...

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
67 cst swb ;
There are not as many SWB 4x4's around and their more desirable than LWB, so they bring more money ! Not everyone loves the SWB, but the ones that do will pay for an original swb 4x4 ! Gary

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Only 1449 SWB fleetside 4x4 were made and of those about 800 with the 6 cyl engine . The v8 307 engine was standard with the 327 engine first availlable as an option that year as mine. No many around ,1500 is fair for condition stated Best of luck

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
I'd think the trouble spots are the TC, which is becoming a problem to get parts for, and the closed knuckle front diff w/ drum brakes.
3-speed trans, as stated leads to a basic I6 or small V8, and low diff gearing. Add the usual rust and while it may be an SWB, a cab resurrection, new diffs or a front diff, trans, TC, probably add a motor and the project just spiraled out of control. Personally, for a 4x4, I'd opt for a 71-72 original disk brake, or 69-70 and plan to swap a square D44 disk front diff in. Comparing a Z28 and a 68 SWB 4x4 well, compare NADA prices I guess. I like both, but everyone wants a 1st gen Camaro; less so with our trucks. ![]() Just an opinion, or 12... |

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
I think an original swb 4x4 is easily worth 1500 just in parts... And I have NO desire to ever own a Camaro.. So no... Not everyone.

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Maybe over there it's $1500 but if it's a project it'll sit for years here at $1500 lol More like $500-1000 if it's a full resto project. Only 2wds get $1500 for dead trucks and even then rust buckets will sit. I really need to start selling trucks to the eastern States lol

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
There are good deals out there. You just have to be patient and keep looking to find one. I bought my running/driving, tagged/insured 71 Super BB for $2800. 98% original. I felt like that was a good price even though it needs to be restored but usuable *as-is*. I'm almost positive I could double my money if I sold it.

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Look frame over well. I bought a 72 sb 4x4 for a grand at an auction and frame was beat, especially after pulling body off. I paid a grand and fixed frame up so I think 1500 is fair if frame is solid

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
No that auction was a joke unless you were into scrapping cars lol. They were all beat and missing parts etc. The one ton dually that "ran" was blowing gas out of the carb and you could fit your fist through the rust inside the cab by the visor lol.

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Well I have always preferred the SWB 4x4's, that's just my preference !
72 being my favorite and working back to 67. I have own 4 of them, 3- 72's and 1- 70. Here in the North East ( Rust Belt ) as referred to by many, it's getting very difficult to find any of these trucks that lived their lives here, especially 4x4's because they got driven in the salt & snow, and the salt just eats them away ! So for my latest project I resorted to buying one out west in Cali and having it shipped out. It needed a total restoration, but it was very solid. Today it would cost $1,500 just to get it shipped, plus the purchase price. So I believe $1,500 for a good solid original swb 4x4 frame, vin tag, glove box door and title is a deal ! This is a picture of my latest project, How could you not love it ?

Re: Minimum value of a 68 K10 SWB
Yes Jud I agree on the 1500 range. I paid 1500 for this truck a year or so ago. It is a 69. The cab is very rusty, but it does have a 292 with power steering and brakes.
