67-72 Trucks are Everywhere

[derotoreut]

Not that many in my area. I guess the Buffalo, NY winters ate them up pretty good. The ones that are around for sale are outrageously priced. Can't find anything around here less than $5K. Even at that price it's usually junk. You guys are lucky.

i have seen one in my area the past several years, and its a rattle canned 68 that has about 6 inches of coils left front and back. looks good from about 100+ feet away but thats about it lol

We actually see quite a few up here in the Fairbanks area. And they come up on craigslist for about a grand to 5k depending on what's on them and their condition. I've seen a few drivers too and its always nice to see them when i'm out in mine because of that common interest.

Sometimes I think about selling my truck and there seems to be a decent market for it, unless they want a 4wd. I do get compliments on mine but the thing I question when I start to think about selling is if there would be a lot of interest. After all, just because a lot of people like the truck doesn't necessarily means they will buy it.

I see them all of the time on the road here, some still working and some that look real nice. Just on my street alone their is 4 and I know of at least 3 more within a mile of my house.

So does this mean we should be picking up the 73-80 trucks when we can find them then? I saw a 1973 GMC 3/4 ton on Craigslist for like 1500 obo. I wouldn't mind having a first year version of that newer body style.

Not many of these trucks still on the road south Ga. There's a few still around but few and far between.

I would say, yes! Just look through some of the pic pages here on this forum. I went through all of the 71-87 half ton short bed pics and I'd say 90% of them were 81 and newer.

I'm with slikside. Whenever I'm in SD I see alot of these trucks.

And I think the one that commented on the 73 body style is on track. If you see a good one, you better grab it.
