Hello. New member. Looking for some tips to sell my old beast.
Hello all. Looking for some tips in how to get my old beast up to a selling point. I hate to see her go, but for the last decade she just sits, except for the monthly trip around the block. She is a 1970 2500 3/4 ton 2wd. Pretty much original with a few changes. I would like to know how to locate a antenna that fits into the back of the Motorola AM radio (CK70A). Where to get/repair the speaker that sits on top of the radio. Where in the Seattle area is the best place for a new windshield (mine is cracked). And where to get the speedometer cable.
Some details. 1970 GMC C2500 LWB Original 350 (truck has 130692 miles on it) rebuilt about 10 years ago. I have driven maybe 1000 since rebuild. T400 tranny (was a stick) 373 gears Electric ignition Edelbrock carb Edelbrock intake duel flowmaster Medium olive paint Pretty original and straight. My brother in law bought it from the original owners son.. Im trying to post some pictures of it. Thanks all. Last edited by Vols914; 09-02-2016 at 11:32 PM. Reason: forgot |

Re: Hello. New member. Looking for some tips to sell my old beast.
First, Welcome to the forum. You're among friends.
Have you checked with any of the board vendors. Neither of those radio parts should be hard to find. Any glass shop should be able to take care of the windshield replacement. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...play.php?f=195 Also, keep in mind you must be a subscribing member to post a for sale ad. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/payments.php

Re: Hello. New member. Looking for some tips to sell my old beast.
That is nice. I advise do not spend any time or money on those radio and speedometer issues, because whoever buys the truck is probably going to want to select their own replacements for those items, and those items are so minor they won't affect the sale value of the truck. I suggest just sell the truck. I wish I could buy it.
If you feel you must fix those items, there are lots of catalog companies that sell replacement antennas, speakers, and just about any other part for the truck. Check out Classic Industries, Brothers Trucks, LMC, Classic Parts of America. Search the catalogs online or request a paper catalog. Examples of stuff you can find. https://www.brotherstrucks.com/47-87...tinfo/ANTU87C/ http://www.classicindustries.com/pro...rts/rb358.html Here is a site that sells just replacement speakers: http://www.turnswitch.com/speakers.htm |

Re: Hello. New member. Looking for some tips to sell my old beast.
Looks like a cool truck, I'd love to have another 3/4 ton especially a GMC. Anyway like others have said theres really no point in replacing any of that if you're selling. Its not going to affect the price at all.
