Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Lord help me I just bought this off a FB ad almost 3000 miles away. Never done that before but I got excited and pulled the trigger. 283, 3spd, still 6 lug drum, and lowered with new springs.

I feel ya. I did that too. Bought one from Oregon recently. I have had semi decent luck in the past. Bought a bmw 2002tii and vw panel van. Both sight unseen. I was happy, wife wasn’t.

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Great find!
Is 3-speed on the floor stock? I've never seen / heard of that, but it is very cool. What type of transmission is it (muncie? saginaw?)

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Oh no. 3 on the tree. PO added that floor shifter. I'm sure it's a saginaw. I know where there's a NP440 4 spd OD trans. That would be sweet to slip in there.

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
I saw that on marketplace and thought about going to look at it as it wasn't far from me, seems a good price for whats there.

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
I got him down a little. I figure if it's as solid as he says I did alright. It was originally 515 Vermillion Red so repaint may be hiding body repairs. I'd love to strip that blue off and expose the original red paint! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

So you’re going to fly out and drive it back right?

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Nice find and that SPID rivals my 67 for shortness.
Gotta love Confederate flag on the front bumper. Leftovers from another time right there. I will say this thread is worthless until I see some photos of it in your driveway after a cleanup.

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Yea I kinda like that. No passenger visor or armrest. GM should have put just 1 bucket seat in it.

Still waiting for a shipper to pick up the posted haul. I'm getting antsy.

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Driver just called me from Butte. It will be delivered tomorrow. He said "Hard to find them that clean" so I'm hopeful it's as good as the buyer said.

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Congrats on the purchase, ...I did the same recently (twice), and in both cases, I was very lucky, the trucks were as described.
Keep us posted, I'm sure it'll be fine

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
The kick panels and bottom of the inner passenger door skin are rusted thru which I didn't know about. The floor is awful thin inboard the rockers. It also may have evidence of some rust repair a long long time ago. I saw what looks like a weld bead on the cab supports under the grime. It definitely needs attention as it's been in a barn for years. Sticky or inop windows, cracked windshield, dry rubber, loud exhaust, sloppy steering box, worn out shifter, ...but it's pretty straight and the rust is limited to the bed floor and around the rockers and kick panels. Fenders, bed sides, cab corners, and roof are solid. Appears to have the original body panels, and goes down the road surprisingly well. Seems like alot to pay for an old truck without upgrades and too short front springs but it's a legit V8 67 swb. Overall it's got the look so yea I'm happy. I forgot how terrible those base spring and burlap seats are! Lol

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Looks to be everything it was advertised as! Congrats! My wife banned me from buying sight unseen after I had an 86 vette show up. The pictures must have been from years ago while the car sat under a stand of pine trees for half a decade. Lost my butt on that deal!

Under 2 layers of batting, new carpet, and new door sills. Surprise!

Re: Back in the 67-72 game, 67 C10 SWB
Did the same as you. Bought a truck off Craigslist in Phoenix, AZ and had it delivered to Buffalo, NY. About 2300 miles away. Turned out to be a great experience, great deal and the truck was everything I could've hoped for. Now it's blown apart going through a total custom restoration. It was solid and original sheet metal. Good luck with yours.
