72 C20 Cheyenne "Project" on CL in PA - not mine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I don't know if I'm posting this more for someone who may be seriously interested or so you guys in the South and West see what we have to work with here in the salt belt - this is why I pay extra to ship trucks I've never seen back here:

Anyway, it's a start..

Wow, that barn must of been missing walls and a roof. Door panel insert looks perfect, possible a decent parts truck

ouch! what would it look like if it wasnt in that barn .

**bigmac73** · 11-19-2013, 08:47 PM

salt on the roads up there is murder on the body

**MidLifer** · 11-19-2013, 09:50 PM

Might be a good parts truck but parts trucks cost $400, not $1500. And since the seller has another C10 in his driveway, he must know that. But can't fault a guy for tryin'.

I don't think I'd touch that one. Cab is too far gone for me.

I've learned the hard way, it's better to pay more for quality than to have to rebuild anything.

That looks about average condition for around here. Crazy on the price though.

**davischevy** · 11-19-2013, 11:16 PM

Somebody sure had trouble getting comfortable with which mirrors they wanted to use.

cleanfreak · 11-20-2013, 12:28 AM

looks better than most up here!

**special-K** · 11-20-2013, 08:15 AM

You're looking at an original paint low mile Cheyenne/20 for $1,500 that looks like it needs the same rust repair you see members doing to trucks from all over the country. Where's all the patina lovers??

It has some bad surface rust behind the door and on sides. I guess "barn find" can mean next to or near,not only in?

Andy4639 · 11-20-2013, 10:44 AM

This is why I love looking at these adds.

Everyone will say this that on a truck for sale.

If they were selling it it, it would be a classic!

I said that??

I do remember saying,"Patina ain't nothin' but paint all scrambled up with an extra "a" added."

That's just slightly over what that truck would bring around here, believe it or not the one I am building right now started out a lot worse than this one. Mine is a factory swb so in my opinion it was worth saving. It's hard to tell but that bed floor doesn't look too bad. Usually the cab floor and the cab supports tell the real story.
