1970 Chevy Pick up. Short Bed. This car is a classic! It has all original interiors, gas caps, hub caps, body style. No damage or wrecks only second owner. In very good condition. Pictures do not give this car justice! The motor was replaced in the summer. Runs well! I am willing to negotiate.
Arizona car. no rust all original (extra parts available)

Ok...call me sick in a sort of way but...I enjoy analyzing trucks that are for sale that are posted as original. I can tell the obvious but many of you are for more knowledgeable than I about what is factory and what isn't. So lets...and lests keep this friendly and fun...find what is not original about this truck. Let the fun begin.
I'll start...It is stated as having hub caps and it doesn't plus Rallies were not an option. Ooops #1. Next?

*ksjh1316* · 01-16-2009, 10:31 AM

No damage but that grill looks tweeked

**special-K** · 01-16-2009, 10:35 AM

Nice car

"Engine was replaced last summer."With what?Was it any better that the other one?

jorgensensc · 01-16-2009, 10:40 AM

Non original steering wheel, map pocket screwed onto door panels, where are the mirrors?, clear/white front turn signals, although the grill insert looks nice and original with the painted lines, oh and deluxe sidemarker lights.

The five lug truck rallys caught my eye.

jorgensensc · 01-16-2009, 10:49 AM

of course! Good eye!

jorgensensc · 01-16-2009, 10:52 AM

Oh yeah, The three point seat belts. It is definately not original, but is in decent condition and the mods that were done are tasteful and necessary improvements. Looks like a good deal at the 2500 its at right now.

Front bumper looks way to new compared to the rest of the truck...original white tailgate too....sweet

50MOTORHEAD · 01-16-2009, 12:07 PM

You mean other than the fact that it is a POS. I would not give the guy more than $800 for that truck. I am not trying to be a dick ,but it's not something that I would buy unless it was going REAL cheap. I would look at it as a parts truck,,just me.-KB

I wouldnt go that far... i mean the pics are small, but what I can see its far from junk, peeling paint looks to be the worst from the pics... would def have to see in person

WOW!! Don't hold back! I respectfully disagree with you. A solid rust free rolling chassis truck (if it is truly rust free), is easily worth 1000.00 A good short fleet bed in solid rust free condition gets anywhere from 500.00 to 800.00. The interior isn't that bad, and if it is a running truck that can be driven, I say it is worth at least 2500.00. If it does truly have a newer engine than it might even be worth a little more if it runs Really well. Add to that that it has obviously been converted to disc brakes in front. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Even here in a non rust belt area we still have a little rust, and that truck still seems like a good deal. If that is what you consider a parts truck, then I'll take your parts truck any day! Have you had to buy any parts for these trucks lately? THey are getting harder to find in good original condition and the aftermarket products aren't quite up to snuff yet. Again, I think it isn't too bad of a deal so far. JMHO.

Remember the keys words...Friendly and Fun. Remember some trucks are diamonds in the rough. I am not saying this truck is a potential diamond but...

big_al_71 · 01-16-2009, 12:45 PM

It is an awesome deal!!!!

Glovebox door bowtie. Guage under guage panel. I'd name more, but I'm not sure on some of it.

Even RARER than the corvette optioned trucks was a little known option that hunters just fell in love with, it was called the "White tail edition" and was a dealer add on, NOT factory!

1LoC10 · 01-16-2009, 01:47 PM

Nice, I have heard some stories about some white tail corvette edition trucks that were made too... now those are rare

**68350** · 01-16-2009, 01:53 PM

Looks like it is lowered and the woodgrain(or is it painted) dash bezel.

NO WAY! They must be as rare as an albino deer!

heavy71chevy · 01-16-2009, 02:57 PM

Also noticed the chrome headlight covers

Old Yeller 1970 · 01-16-2009, 03:09 PM

That clear coat paint peeling off the rear of the bed sure isn't original. Our trucks were all shot with a single stage paint.

ChevLoRay · 01-16-2009, 03:18 PM

I drove by one yesterday, advertised in out statewide paper that was priced at $2300 OBO. I don't have an OBO. If that truck is worth $2300, this one should be twice the price!

Seriously, an offer of $2500 for this truck would make sense. Okay, maybe $3000. It needs everything.....but an engine if the copy is true. So it's an AZ truck. That's kinda like saying, "It's a DRY heat".....true, but it's still HOT!

Paint, interior, Y3.....how much does it take to re-do a truck? Personnally, I'm still waiting on the final tally.

Start with the best you can find/afford. This truck should be rust-free, at least.
