Whats the Value of this truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ryker77 · 09-02-2003, 08:35 PM

A 1968 GMC 3/4ton 4speed 4x4 v6 supposed to have only 30k miles due to being used as a farm truck. Very little rust. missing front bumper and could use tires. Was repainted a few years back. No mods are done to the truck. Looks just like you would think a 68 model farm truck with 30k should.

I thinking of buying this truck for use when building my house. What are these trucks selling for?

WOW that truck look's really clean!!!! Just a guess but 1500 to 3500 hard to say not seeing it in person.

lukecp · 09-02-2003, 09:14 PM

Clean truck!

Fairly rare too.....if it really is as clean as the pics show, and runs good, i would say 3k plus....just a guestimate though. I see you want to use it to build you house....just please don't turn it into a work truck and destroy it! Nothing wrong with a load of lumber in the back, just don't bang it up too bad

ryker77 · 09-02-2003, 09:36 PM

Yellow72 thanks for the quick reply. I've got the guy down to 3200.
BTW I was born in Rolla small world huh?... My dad used to work at the bread plant. Wonder bread I think

lukecp · 09-02-2003, 09:49 PM

I think $3200 would be a good price

It is a small world....there are a lot of members in this area of MO. I have only lived in Rolla for a little over 2 weeks (i got to school at UMR).....i am from a town about 80 miles south of here.

*Phillip Johnson* · 09-02-2003, 10:08 PM

I would say $4000 or more. Super low miles but remember that the v6 didnt get any mileage. But, a 350 isnt a economy king either. It looks like a really good find. I really like the cab lights and the mirrors! Go for it! If the inside is as clean as the outside, It will be worth a mint!

1969 GMC · 09-03-2003, 12:09 AM

nice truck! i'd say $3200 is a steal for what it looks and sounds like. The V6 might be a little harder to get parts for, but with 30k it should be in good shape. Good luck!

casey · 09-03-2003, 01:02 AM

I'd definitly pay 3200 for it. longhornmail- sorry longhorn man, says thoses V6's are indistructable

JayDubBlazer · 09-03-2003, 02:10 AM

It does look good, but it is 35 years old and wouldn't be surprised if it had 130,000 miles on it.

*Phillip Johnson* · 09-03-2003, 02:10 AM

I have one of those GMC V6 in a 64 Dump Truck.. Still runs after all the ranch hands tried to trans am it for the past 30+ years. Its in Calif

**COBALT** · 09-03-2003, 02:38 AM

Try getting it for $2500...but it's easily worth $3k or more...even up here in washington.

VTKidder · 09-03-2003, 07:49 AM

I'd throw 4k at it up here in the salt belt.....

If the guy can't truly document the mileage you can bet i't's 130...if not 230

Erl · 09-03-2003, 09:21 AM

I bought one just like that except a stepside last year. It came from a farm in Amarillo, a little spot of rust in one rocker. I paid $2800 and have not been sorry (Ebay auction). I am using it every week to haul stuff for my new garage addition. I really like the 305V6, but those 4:56 gears make for a slow top speed and low gas mileage. Let me know if you have any questions.

ryker77 · 09-03-2003, 09:31 AM

Thanks for the info... I'm checking out the VIN and model numbers but wil probably buy the truck in a few weeks.

Thanks again

Davy · 09-03-2003, 10:49 AM

30k miles in 35 years and needed to be repainted?? Come on.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-03-2003, 12:21 PM

Looks like a great truck. I'd pay $3,200 for it whether it had 30k or 130k on it.

ryker77 · 09-03-2003, 12:31 PM

My only concern now is the VIN KM20D74718

K= 4x4
M= ?
2= 3/4ton

There shouldn't a M or D in the VIN?...

I'm using the VIN decoder on this site. I assume GMC trucks would use the same vin system as Chevy.

The engine number is 305E506207

jose · 09-03-2003, 12:57 PM

The M is for V6 Gas engine

**CPNE** · 09-03-2003, 01:01 PM

Jose is correct. In addition GMC's don't decode in the same manner. Someone here can post a translation for you, probaby that new longhorn guy.

palallin · 09-03-2003, 01:09 PM

I've seen documented farm trucks ten years older than that with fewer miles. The 30K is easily possible.

griesel72 · 09-03-2003, 01:11 PM

I agree that it would be a nice truck to own, but it most likely has 130,000. 30K in 30+ years is less than 1000 miles a year, or about 80 miles a month
