imo that truck just from looking at the pic's is in really good shape as far as value everyone has there spending limit's to start with it has a decent looking grill a new one just the center is $500 to do that grill complete it would cost around a $1,000 to buy new. the cab,door's,rocker's,fender's and box didn't seem to have alot of rust didn't see any hole's other than the inner fender. the frame looked really good to now if it run's and drive's with no major issue's and these thing's sell for $10,000 and more when finished up imo it would be a truck that i would buy just ask what would it be worth in part's i think it would be worth around the asking price i would try to get it cheaper if i could but i feel that it is worth it IMO

For $3k I would pass. In Texas you can find just as nice trucks with more options such as A/C, PB and even a short bed if you want it. IMHO that truck is only worth $1k-$2k ONLY.

it has a/c, it it in his garage. as you can see in the pic it is an under dash unit that is Montgomery Ward brand.

I'll tell you this, I am selling a shortbed 4X4 for $3k, so a long bed 2wd is not anywhere near as valuable as a short fleet 4X4. Tell your buddy about mine if he wants to spend $3k!

70rs/ss · 11-07-2007, 02:37 PM

yeah, fly in and drive home, I sent picts of the truck and a Blazer I have. Or pay me to drive it over and meet me with a trailer?

panhandler62 · 11-07-2007, 06:16 PM

If it really is rust free... oh... maybe 1700. Unless prices have taken a major jump lately I agree that 3000 is too much for that.

grancuda · 11-07-2007, 07:32 PM

My '72 is pretty much all original from what I can tell and it has disc brakes and no power brakes so I don't think I would worry about it not being power, it does have disc up front doesn't it?

**thelonerife** · 11-07-2007, 09:09 PM

I also have a 72 w/o power brakes from the factory. You just have to slow sooner and sometimes STEP on it.

red71cheyenne · 11-07-2007, 10:20 PM

When I say I wouldn't go over $500, I mean because he intends to do all the conversions. If he's going to spend the money to convert, why not spend it on a truck with the options you want already factory installed? I paid $685 for my 71, then plopped other untold 1000's into it making it the way I like. It came with all the bells and whistles needed though. Power steering, A/C, power brakes...

chev74 · 11-08-2007, 01:23 AM

well i think you guys talked my buddy out of buying it. we are headed to arlington tomorrow to take another stab at one.

doesn't look 2 bad 2 me. i would really look over the body since it's in primer, metal likes to rust if it's been in primer too long. check floors, rockers, cab corners, kick panels. check the floor of the box if it's in primer. see what the motors out of, and if there are in receipts for any work done on it. doesn't look too bad though. i would try to get that one for 1500ish. it's worth that if it is in as good as shape as it seems. good luck

1bad chevy · 11-08-2007, 04:31 AM

imo the gmc looked better see the big dent in the box on the gray short bed the gmc didn't look to be all banged up and another thing what has been done to the body already they could be hiding rust with that primer the white gmc in my opinion was worth more than this one looks like the motor is new and that's all it has going for imo please look at that gmc guy's that thing is really straight and it looks to be origianal paint looks alot cleaner than that 67

chev74 · 11-08-2007, 10:49 AM

so he is lenaing more toward a short bed now. I am kinda the middle man in the whole deal since i am more mechanically inclined and i own one too! I do appreciate all the input and feedback guys.

I like the way the 67 looks, but the primer does worry me a bit. might be nothing, though.

Anyone else seen any good deals in the east/north central TX area?

chev74 · 11-08-2007, 02:31 PM
