Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
It's been a year and a half, but hopefully the trucks will be picked up today from my brother's in Las Vegas enroute to my place upstate New York.
It started with the orange '69 C20, but then I fell in love with the 67/68 front-end, then came the '68 C20 Utility, and while searching I stumbled on a '68 C10 50th. I'll be passing the '69 to my older brother (here in NY) so I'll have the two '68's. I really wasn't going to focus on the '68 Utility (an original 396 4sp) but I was just out west getting the trucks ready for shipping and the darn thing runs perfect (just have to remember NO syncros into 1st ![]() ![]() ![]() So, yes, I'm a bit excited, ...can't wait to get them home in the garage... Photos of the trucks below, but I am hoping to have a few shots loaded on the carrier later today (fingers crossed ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
You mean to tell me you're having 3 Arizona rust free jewels delivered directly to your house in the rusty northeast? Did Christmas come early up there?!
I'd give my one good eye for the 68 utility. Excited would be an under statement....

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
Us guys in the west have it easy that’s for sure. Nice batch of trucks! When I lived in Virginia I hardly ever saw anything older than an 80’s square body. Out here in the desert I regularly still see stuff from the 40’s still on the road. 67-72s are still quite plentiful.

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
The trucks are there .....for now.
I've had a couple 1st Gen Camaros shipped back east, could always find one here or there, but they have all but disappeared. The ones I knew of are long gone. I still know of a couple 'sitting', but not nearly as many. The trucks though, (at least for the near future) do seem plentiful out there. On this last trip (was there from Oct 17th thru Nov 1st) I drove from Las Vegas, NV.....through Flagstaff, Winslow, Albequerque, Santa Fe, as far east as Las Vegas, NM. Then south Las Lunas, back up to Williams then down through Jerome, Prescott, Lake Havasu, and back up through Kingman. A lot of miles driving around, but I love the southwest. It is so cool seeing these old 'relics' preserved in the desert ![]() So, ...yes 57TaskForce, ...you guys do have it made out there : ) ,. ..and you get to drive them year round ![]() |

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
My first trip out west was this summer. Saw so many cool old rigs on the road. Grew up in the hudson valley, lot of rot boxes with chevy emblems unfortunately.

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
Ive run 67-72 parts back to virginia several times. Im always hunting for stuff for someone back there it seems. My family all still lives there Im the lone wolf to see the light so far. I wouldnt move back to the east coast unless I had to, and Im from there.

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
Kevin, was wondering what it cost to ship your 3 trucks if that question is not too personal?
I shipped a 72 lb from Napa Valley Ca to Kentucky last spring and paid $1800. They said that there was a glut of cars waiting to leave Ca so the price was higher, else you would wait forever finding a transporter to take cheaper price. Thinking maybe you saved some $ due to volume discount ? Love your 3 new kids, by the way.

I was initially looking at quotes to ship TWO trucks (the '68's that both do run) and prices ranged from $2100 upwards of $4000+. I'll have to dig, but I can't even recall where I initially posted the request to ship, but needless to say I was inundated. I ended up speaking with a broker (American Auto Shipping Inc.) and the guy (Mike) I spoke with was very up-front, 'real' and open about everything, so I decided to go with them. Price was locked at $2100, ...$300 deposit once an actual shipper was booked, balance due when vehicles are delivered. About a week ago I got a call from the actual shipper (MOTA Transport, Inc.) when I spoke with the driver. I wasn't planning yet to ship the (NON-running) '69 C20, but when I found he was headed east without a full load, I inquired. So, directly with MOTA, we agreed on $1000 to add the '69 to the load. They had to drive to another location in Vegas to pick it up, but that was all agreed upon. My final opinion on everything will be once the trucks arrive safely to my house in NY, but thus far (barring a few timing issues) they have been fine. I will of course post once they get here, so my fingers are crossed they arrive safe and sound ![]() |

Every time I get back to the mountains of VA I feel very much at home and it is a happy time, until I start to drive anywhere and then I instantly remember how much the traffic sucks and how expensive everything has gotten out there. I love the wide open space and freedom of the west. Appalachia will always be a part of me but I’m quite happy where I’m at as well. Yes sir there’s some decent food not far from there. My shop is about 5 miles from the fairgrounds.

When I was in Gallup NM this august, I was amazing at the amount of native americans I saw. At first I thought they were mexicans. WRONG!

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
Where is the update? Are they safe and tucked in their new home? Do they have garage doors to protect them?

Re: Trucks Heading east, hopefully today :)
A bit of a delayed update here, but the trucks were picked up in Las Vegas on Tuesday November 5th, ..........and arrived in New York on Friday the 8th!
![]() ![]() ![]() With that said, there is a new dent in the left fender of the Utility truck ![]() ![]() The shipper has acknowledged it and said they will cover, but we're still working through the details. It could be worse, but it sucks since the truck literally has no dents (or rust) anywhere else. Kevin |
