What is this 1969 short bed CST worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sam devlin · 05-10-2015, 12:09 AM

I'm thinking about selling my truck and just wanted to get an idea on what the people on this forum thought it might be worth. It's a 1969 short bed CST. I'm the second owner I know the whole history on the truck since my dad bought it new. Originally a 250 six with a powerglide but now a fresh 350 with a 2004R overdrive tranny. The truck is rust free with just one paint job 24 years ago. I hate to sell it but I'm going to be moving out of state and not sure I can take it with me. It's like one of the family so if I can't get a good price I will just keep it but I would like to hear from the people that I know would appreciate the truck as to what you think it might sell for.

If you enjoy the truck at all don't sell it. You can't replace a truck with the family history that your truck has.

I understand what you say but you have to understand my situation. I also have a 1968 Camaro RS that my grandfather bought new. I have totally restored the camaro so if it comes down to one or the other I think I will keep the Camaro. This whole thing is very hard for me to deal with but I'm going from a four car garage to a two car garage so something has to go. It's killing me.

71swb4x4 · 05-10-2015, 12:26 AM

That is a tough situation. I will come and get the truck and store it at my house. When you find room again give me a call.

The truck looks pretty clean and original, maybe $10,000 to $15,000? Is it rust free? Have any more pictures?

sam devlin · 05-10-2015, 12:30 AM

It is rust free. The rockers were replaced 24 years ago when it was repainted. I do have more pictures but for some reason the site would only let me post one picture with the original post.

71swb4x4 · 05-10-2015, 12:32 AM

If you are haing trouble posting pictures try making them smaller. I have had problems before when my pictures were too large.

From an iPhone you can only do one at a time. You can attach a picture with each additional post though. You have to write some text in each post also. I was thinking around $10k if it's as clean as it looks. Maybe more. Hard to tell without more pictures

sam devlin · 05-10-2015, 12:39 AM

To attach another photo it's asking for a URL? How do you have a URL from a photo on your phone?

I'm new to this site but I have never had problems posting picture like this before.

Nice truck!

engineer_gregh · 05-10-2015, 09:09 AM

If you can post a picture of the SPID that would be great. Nice looking truck.

drillrod · 05-10-2015, 09:12 AM

Wow! That truck is awesome. I sure hope you find A way to keep it being your dad bought it new!

sam devlin · 05-10-2015, 09:26 AM

If the SPID is the sticker on the inside of the glove box door it was removed and painted over back when the truck was repainted. I don't think my father understood the importance of it.

**70shortfleet** · 05-10-2015, 09:30 AM

Welcome to the board! I think it is worth about $7500-$10000 range. Nice truck, keep it and sell the Camaro

I have restored 3 -68 Camaros, sold them all and kept my trucks

**MikeB** · 05-12-2015, 07:11 PM

I'd say around $12K-$15K. 67-72 SWBs are very hot now, and it's hard to find one that hasn't been slammed, loaded with billet, painted some new car color, or had a console and 20" wheels installed.
