Nice truck with $28,000 bid now and 1 day left,

I would say the seller will be happy with the result of the sell.

I like it. Makes me feel better about about this black on black original 72 swb 4x4 Cheyenne I’m building back to life. It gets costly
But I can’t wait to drive this summer

That is nice. I can't believe what our trucks are going for these days. Haven't paid attention over the last few years, but it sure looks like they're up in value. Glad I found mine when I did!

Man 28K for a truck with a leaky 205 and rust holes in the outer floor extensions??? It’s insane what these things are bringing. I too am glad I got my K trucks when I did.

I saw that on Facebook, I think - didn't realize it was you! I suspect a lot of board members are over there under different names (just like me).

I really like your truck. If I had lots of extra cash there'd be no need to BAT it...

Thanks for the compliments...sadly marketplace sucks ...brings out all the idiots that have an opinion but no money..sad how people act nowadays.

I have no doubt it will. It appears BAT is the new place for serious buyers and or flippers- re sellers. I do like the extreme multitude of photos on the site, really very necessary for buying site unseen.

You know what I always get when I call someone out for being an ass? "This is Facebook", like that's an excuse. Must be some unwritten law that FB is the place come to be a jerk

I'm sad that my '72 GMC has to be my last one, after always owning at least one K/20 for 42 years. I always knew I wanted to always have one till I die. That's why I bought up N.O.S. so I could always keep them running. There was no aftermarket the first decade or so of owning them

Unfortunately, some of those same people are here too.

Always thought having a K20 would be cool. Doubt I'll get the chance now, these prices are nuts. I'd rather give the K10 some attention, at this point I know exactly what I'm dealing with!

I sold my 1971 K1500 SWB on BaT last November. I still feel like a traitor, but it sold well.

Here’s a dirty little secret… the only real difference between a long bed K10 and a K20 is leaf springs, axles, and wheels/tires. Your K10 shares its frame and everything up from the frame save maybe the power brake booster with a K20, the rest of the important stuff needed to make it a K20 are all fairly easily to find and bolt on.

For some reason I thought the K20 had a beefier frame - thicker metal or boxed or something! That's good to know, thanks for correcting me. Not real worried about the axles for my purposes and I'll be replacing suspension soon anyway.
