Is this truck rare

[70CST204x4]

I have a 1970 CST 20 4x4 350 2bl Olive green no power options no gauges dummy lights 4 speed factory bucket seat (not installed) with console has a headliner door panels are viynl one is coming apart got a cargo light and bottom trim also has three gas tanks but missing the driver side under bed the original selector for them still works pretty straight for what it is some rust and dents no pics at the moment

Yours is probably the ONLY one like it. There were a bunch of them at one time, but I'll bet there ain't another one "just like yours", now

Seriously, I find that there were 6,124 of the KS20934 body style, that is an 8-ft long, 127-inch wheelbase, 4WD built. The CST option was found on 10% of the total production, but may be a lot less than that for a truck like yours.

So, in the big picture, I would say yours is a rare truck. Forgive my humor, please. I'm old.

[70CST204x4]

what would be the value on one

[69halfton]

sounds more or less like a barebones no options truck.

except maybe for the buckets...but even then.

...it also depends on the market your in.

if it was in PERFECT condition, id prolly give you maybe ...1500 bucks.

and i mean IMMACULATE.

www.nada.com has a section that lets people look up vehicle values. For older vehicles, there's a lot of variables. Used to be a magazine called "Old Cars" that put out quarterly editions that were value guides. They had a rating system that started out with a 5 on the low end of the scale, up to a 1 on the high end. 5's were just about good for parts only. 1's were top-notch vehicles....like new. Most of what you describe would be a 4, on their grading scale. 4's ran, and were essentially complete, but needed some work to be average, like a 3 would be. 2's were very good, not the best, but generally just needed some cosmetics or minor mechanical attention to be a 1.

i didnt know nada done that for older trucks like that my luck it would not show anything for mine but i'll check it out thanks alot ChevLoRay

Always remember that famous saying "Rare doesn't always mean desirable". Sounds like a nice truck with the CST package which is trim, and it had or has buckets...3/4 ton lwb trucks are not as desirable as 1/2 ton trucks. 4 speed for some is not as desirable as automatics. But it's a 4x4 which to many is a plus. The key is...if you like it then that is what is important. Like I said...it sounds like a nice truck.

[70CST204x4]

thanks 70cst your right on that saying i ve just never seen or heard of one

[WorkinLonghorn]

If it is in fact a 2 brl then I think it would be a non-stock carb because they were all 4brl.

[70CST204x4]

Workin i did not know that the original motor was a 2bl
truck had been sitting for long time everything looked right before i messed with it thanks for the info

I BELIEVE there may have been some 2 bbl trucks built from factory. I know there is a 396 2 bbl truck on the boards, so it's possible. As for a price, without pics, I would say 1000-1200 range without seeing it. hope this helps

[PanelDeland]

Someone on the board has a quote for this type question.
"Rare does not always mean desirable.For instance it's rare that I crap my pants but not usually desirable."

70CST204x4 What part of bama you from? Sounds like a nice truck.

Well if it is a 2bbl from the factory I guess that would be a perfect example of the "rare doesn't equal valuable" statement. "Super rare, low horsepower 2 Bbl option!"

[special-K]

Yes,a CST K/20 is a rare truck.There weren`t many CST K/20 made.There were 2bbl carbs on 350s.Alot of guys are prefering the 4spd over an automatic in 4wds these days.It`s especially desirable being coupled with bucket seats.That makes you truck rare right there.I`ve seen loaded trucks and Suburbans with idiot lights.
It would be tiugh to put a value,but no less than $3,000 if it`s about solid.

[Longhorn Man]

Values will fluctuate greatly depeinding on local markets.
While yes, that truck is fairly rare, it would be a little less desirable to most people. Either way, it sounds like a real neat rig.

and un-molested.

[special-K]

When someone asks if something is rare,why do so many answer on the value and not the rarity?Not every "is it rare" question is to get a dollar value.Something can be rare and have nothing to do with money.What`s worth the most money is rare "and" popular.In some cases,the rarer things aren`t worth as much money because so few are aware of them so there`s no market.

cst/20 4x4 I would consider "rare"(I don't like the word!) or hard to find, factory bucket seats I would also consider htf, 4 speed not so much, and the headliner, etc all came with the cst package. Overall, I would say this pickup is unusual and uncommon(hard to find) because of the options thrown together on it. I have NEVER seen a 4 speed bucket seat pickup, but have heard of them, so that along with the cst package(most probably ordered automatics with the fanciest package you could get), and the fact it's just overall unusual as heck, that's what makes it hard to find. if you post some pics, I think everyone could give a better opinion on price, because condition matters a LOT!!

[streetstar]

4 speed is a good tranny on a 4-by if you actually want to use it -- i can't see that as a detriment on a 3/4 ton 4-by

This truck has another rarity in that not only is it a bucket seat truck but it is a four speed bucket seat truck that is also 4x4. The 4x4 trucks supposedly used some type of spacer at the rear of the console which is a hen's tooth. I my opinion if true would make this truck pretty rare overall, as far as price- 4x4 is bringing more money currently but it depends on the shape of the truck and its originality.
