I agree with you on the auto and a/c being very desirable (aka marketable) upgrades to any truck including original survivors.

I'll say this though (and this is a general comment on today's market, not anything negative about this truck) - I think sellers today are misguided when they think that a fake Cheyenne Super K10 swb, for example, is more valuable than an actual Cheyenne K10 swb (they must, or why would they take the time and extra expense to fake one?). At a minimum, the "upgrade" shrinks the potential buyer pool by at least 1... But I'd be willing to bet I'm not alone. It can also potentially shrink the price - i.e. it's a false assumption by sellers that they can get original Super money by slapping Super emblems on a truck (unless, of course, they're taking it to Barrett-Jackson). I'd submit that this seller would make more actual profit had he not lifted it, not added Super emblems, not added aftermarket wheels, etc and just sold it as it was, a Cheyenne K10 swb, a rare bird in its own right that buyers will pay top dollar for.

Again, don't get me wrong, this is clearly a very nice truck and my comment is meant to be more general in nature because we see all kinds of trim levels advertised as Supers these days, and there's nothing wrong with that (this seller clearly readily provided a SPID when asked) - but, in some cases, I think sellers are actually shrinking their buyer pool and hurting their profit margin by upgrading to a fake trim level. My 2 cents.

I agree with you Jocko.

Not on craigslist or Facebook but I looked at this one today. Looks to be a real shortbed but the spid is missing. I forgot to take a picture of the vin I did made an offer on it like I need another one . Gutter has been shaved but no rot anywhere that could find

Something seems a little fishy with this one. It may be legit, but my Spidy senses are heightened with the way it's written - ??

yep, I noticed that but glad you said it first

phrases like tack rpm and a row bar don't inspire a lot of confidence in authenticity but they have title and accepting cash only so possibly just an ESL situation?

worth a look, that's a really soft price if it's legit..

I thought might be a scam also, but they did list a Reno area code phone number and they wanted phone calls only so that leads me to believe it's some what legit. The ad "has been deleted by its author" so I'm thinking someone jumped on and hopefully got a hell of a deal.

In my opinion this thread is far more interesting with pictures and prices posted. So many of the links are dead ends within hours.

Mine isn’t a link to an ad but a minor success story. Posted an ad for “wanted, seat for 68 c10” and was lucky enough to get a response. “I have a nice seat- come get it”
Nice seat, even nicer guy, and free!
He put some buckets in so he was done with the bench.

Man oh Man, I would've driven to Yakima for a free bench seat!

Post up an ad. It worked for Mr. FourSpeedWagon. You never know.

BTW, I drove to Yakima once looking for my mother in law. Big mistake.

[HO455]

I will do that post haste!

[fourspeedwagon]

Needs a little shampoo now that I see it in the light - but well worth the price.

Sorry you came here for your MIL. There’s gotta be something good you could’ve come for!

Not sure about the mileage claim but could be and you can't restore/build for the asking price.

Just realized that GMC has the big block V6 305 in it. First guess is they drove it a few tanks and found out what kind of mileage they were getting with it- and parked it!

�� jk. I know there are fans but the couple I’ve had experience with got about 4mpg.

Yep... this outfit I worked for in the mid 70's had about a 66 GMC big 8 or 10 yard dump truck that if I remember correctly had about a 400 ci V6 gas motor in it, they pulled a backhoe with it and probably got about 2-3 mpg. Slow as molasses that thing was.

[fourspeedwagon]

And mounted.
I was pulling my old seat to get it recovered and found that the frame had cracked and been welded (poorly of course) so I thought I’d advertise for another seat just in case the other was so far gone. Didn’t expect one this nice- for free.
I love Craigslist and wish that fakebook wasn’t taking over the local ads. I don’t intend to be on there but it gets harder all the time with less and less ads on CL.

1971 Chevrolet K20 4-speed - LWB Stepside, (1) of (674) made? If did not have mine already, I would have driven up to Salado to look and would have been a serious buyer!

Odd it was posted 3 months ago, makes me wonder if it has been sold already.

overpriced and difficult seller..

serious buyer ≠ buys everything they look at

seller's sentimental value ≠ market value

Looks like a pretty decent ‘burb.
