I went to the bank and got the cash, borrowed a trailer and drove 2 hours to South Carolina to look at a 1969 C10 but decided not to buy it, I figured after putting more money into it to make it the way I wanted it, that I would be to far upside down. heres some pictures... what would you have paid for it? he was asking $9900.00 and I could have owned it today for $6900.00

350 engine ran really smooth, 350 auto shifted good, power steering and power brakes (front disc) worked good, all elec, wipers and heater worked fine

lots of new parts but backyard restored over the last 5 years and left outside so paint had wear and defects about a 7 on a scale of 1-10 could prolly buffed out.

The truck seemed solid with very little bondo based on my magnet, underside was driver condtion like the engine bay, interior looked good but carpet was sun faded. tires and rims where in bad shape but it drove straight and tight. what would have been a good price to pay for it?
