Almost bought an Ebay 67'
Hi all -
I'm new to the forum but I have had C10 fever for awhile and am searching pretty heavily for a 67-72 SWB. This morning I nearly won an ebay auction on a 67, I wasn't upset about missing it and frankly I was surprised at how low it went for. The low bid almost scared me away more than anything else. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...NA:MOTORS:1123 Despite being chopped from LB to SB and having 68 fenders as well as primered rear I thought it went low. I also was sketched about the lack of detailed pics of the rockers and corners along with the sellers mention of rust in the fenders, still, I think I missed something here. Were the above mentioned issues enough to keep the winning bid at 4150? Any other sage advice from the forum on other things I should worry about when looking online? |

With a cut down longbed, you would almost have to actually see the kind of work done. I'm not scared of cutdowns, provided they are done well.

Re: Almost bought an Ebay 67'
Welcome to the boards. I have a brother in eagle river...
As far as the truck goes, doesn't seem that cheap to me. You don't know the quality of the work, claims it as a 67 (sure looks like a 68 to me) Says it has a little rust, needs paint, No A/C which would be a selling point down south, missing bumper bolts. etc... I think it went for plenty. (my opinion) Eric

Re: Almost bought an Ebay 67'
Nice catch on the missing bumper bolts Eric. Those details are exactly why I posted this, another thing for me to watch for. Did every 67 cab have a small window and is that a definitive indication of a non-67? Any ideas on why/how this guy apparently had the year wrong? 67 frame w/68 cab and fender replacement? Doesn't seem like he gains much with a deception between 67/68.
The lack of AC for me is great, helps lower the cost and it isn't needed in AK. The heater is another story though. Any other comments are mucho appreciated. |
