Well I saved one today 72 long bed c10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Harpie · 09-01-2012, 07:48 PM

I was out working today driving down a back road and saw a ol boy dragging a beat up ol c10 across his field with a tractor. So me being me I stopped to talk to him and eyeball this rig. Needless to say he was about to take it to the scrap yard cause his wife wanted it gone. I would say is farm ruff floors are shot rockers gone but it's a 72 long bed with tool box on passenger side with ac cab all glass intact. Has 373 posi with a 350 and auto trans needs a starter and a flywheel he says. So after a lil bs'n I got title in hand for $200. I got a couple pics if I only knew how to post from a iPad ugh but I'll get some up later. But another one saved from the crusher lots of goodies to pull if I don't get it up and running I want the posi for my 71 I'm doing my frame off on.

Better parted than the crusher.

Zoomin · 09-01-2012, 11:08 PM

If you had the time and money there is so much patina on that truck it would be cool to redo the power trian, brakes etc and drive it with the patina.

Harpie · 09-01-2012, 11:19 PM

Thanks guys the ol girl might get fixed up just enough to use it around the farm but the posi is deffenatly goin in my lil shortwide. But I hafta say it does have plenty of character just sure hated to see it get squished.

Dr, great save, she will live again

putnam00 · 09-02-2012, 07:34 PM

That's a buy. I wish I had an a/c cab or even an aftermarket a/c. I found an aftermarket a few weeks ago called the guy and had it all set up to get and the day I was suppose to ge it called and he said he was selling it to someone else because he didn't think I was serious!! Man people these days. Again awesome buy!!!

Nice save! Great score just for the posi at $200!! That is worth atleast $300 at the scrapyard. Let me know if you plan to part it out.

Harpie, nice find. If you decide to part it out I am interested in the toolbox door or if you know where I could find one I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Thank you for the interest I will have it home this week and I will decide what I am going to do with the ol girl and just to go by the rules ill post it in the proper area for parting out when that time comes.

Harpie · 09-06-2012, 10:54 PM

Well got the ol girl home today and as promised some more pics.

Thought it was funny it has way more options listed on the spid as a custom then my Cheyenne does. I forgot to take a pic of the spid but will get one tomorrow.

Nice save. Lots of nice to have parts on it if you choose not to make it a driver.

Any pics of the SPID options list yet?

*Mister-B* · 10-22-2012, 04:02 PM

I love it! Wow, some people really don't know how much something is worth when they go to sell it. I mean, that outer grill alone is in very decent shape, and goes for over $300 new.
