How much is this 1970 C10 worth? Wanting to buy my first truck

That truck is not t not that bad of a deal. A lot of people on this board spend over 2 grand just for a aftermarket short bed alone, then they go and cut up a long bed frame just to make it the way this truck already is. ( And then it will be a bastard truck for ever on)So its a cheap paint job. Better then a dinged up original paint job truck. If its straight and a real short bed your way ahead of the game. Just make sure its not full of bondo. 350s are a dime a dozen. Short beds arent.

Well I have been around the body repair industry since 1974 and I've never seen a repainted vehicle that didn't have filler of some kind on it.
If you can show me a 45 year old repainted car that is only paint on metal I'll buy you a steak dinner.
Is this truck a good buy?
I cannot answer that from here but if I was making an offer on it I would start about $3500 and maybe adjust from there.
Good luck on your search.

Well my dad talked the guy down to 4400. He was impressed with it when he looked at it. and from what the other people pay for some of them. I think I got a good deal. Not a steal but something i can drive daily and its not a rust bucket
