Is it rare you think?

They are all rare - just look at how many you see running down the road. We purchased a complete 72 from auction from the guy in the TV show - rust brothers. It's apart, and I will probably need to replace many metal parts. It's a bigger fish than my fishing rod, but i'm still keen. i don't know the value of old things, but i do know that what i see for around 3000-5000 is pretty much a parts truck and a dream. Old car shells go for that. runners are more. Nice runners are like 10. Drivers are 15. Nicely finished, useful, safe and (probably) non-stockers are 20. Go up from there. You can buy a project and throw much money in it, or just buy a finished truck - but you miss the part of the project. You'll have something cool, rare or not, perfect or not, but it'll be something you did. you can't get that from a new Denali.

I'd submit that buying this truck because of a perception of rarity might be a mistake. Googling and finding "low" production numbers might meet a technical (yet irrelevant) definition of "rare" - but it doesn't mean a given truck is also valuable. Once a truck has been modified (as in a bed swap and lift kit), rarity really doesn't matter anyway, even if it can be undone. And keep in mind, plenty of makes and models were low production because GM knew they wouldn't be "big" sellers - but they also wanted to provide options for all areas of the market, so they didn't make as many. While a 69 K10 long-stepper is a cool truck (and that alone is a good reason to buy it, if that is what you're into) - it's not an LS6 Chevelle (or a swb Cheyenne Super big block).

We can only tell you if we'd buy this truck for ourselves - and that really shouldn't affect your decision one way or the other. I like it, but I like old K10s and K20s... If you prefer a swb GMC (you've mentioned this twice), I'd recommend against buying this truck on a perception of rarity alone. If you like it for what it is, a cool old K10, then by all means, buy it and enjoy it, and don't look back.

If you're considering buying it so you can tell someone you have a rare truck; or worse yet, with the intent to try to resell it as a rare truck, you're probably better off waiting for the swb GMC you mentioned you really want to come along. Because as soon as you buy this one, it will.
