NEED OPINION:considering buying this for another project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*jake wells* · 09-16-2010, 02:05 AM

its a 1979 Chevy C10 350/th350 with new tires. it runs strong and drives really well the a/c is so cold it will cause frostbite the only things it needs is a grill and hubcaps but that is little things is it worth 1200? http://ucarsandtrucks.com/Steve-s-Auto-Sales-2.html

**78 Big10 454** · 09-16-2010, 02:08 AM

Rust issues? Interior complete? These two can run up the $$$ for a decent restoration. If the truck passes muster, $1200 is a good deal, IMHO.

*jake wells* · 09-16-2010, 02:21 AM

interior is complete just a small tear in the seat. it still has a smog pump charcoal canister and catalytic converter it is very quite too no know noises.

shown on the title it came from flint Michigan the only problem spots i see are the wheel wells on both sides light surface rust no rot any were.

nice thing about it is you pump the gas 1 time and it fires up instantly.

Im sorry Jake but the most I would personally pay for that is about 500 bucks. Thats just me and my price is influenced by craigslist. since its a 2wd.....

irishman999 · 09-16-2010, 02:38 AM

Just noticed your buying, not selling. Haggle haggle haggle.

THE "10" SILVERADO · 09-16-2010, 09:03 AM

Nice truck...if you want to buy it at $1200 go ahead...I wouldn't pay over $700 for a truck like that...

**N2TRUX** · 09-16-2010, 10:54 AM

I see rust holes all in it. It needs a LOT more than what you mention to make it nice. I would pass regardless of price.

Greenlee · 09-16-2010, 11:35 AM

The working A/C is a big plus! I agree the body looks like junk. I can see rust and that primer job is probably covering all kinds of crap that someone patched up.

Restrorob · 09-16-2010, 12:39 PM

I'd pass for that kind of money.....

irishman999 · 09-16-2010, 03:06 PM

Last week there was a 76 3/4 ton 4x4 with a 400 on craigslist. To add to how nice this thing was, it was a special edition "spirit of 76" with a cool interior that was in good shape. Body was straight, no rust and could be very easily restored and this guy only wanted 800 bucks. That one your looking at would make a great parts truck and maybe a trash trailer down the road

HumbleChevyBuddy · 09-16-2010, 03:31 PM

The front bumper looks nice! That would be one expensive bumper, though.

I'd pass on that one.

Davidmichael · 09-16-2010, 05:31 PM

The bad part it all depends on where you live. Like in my neck of the woods, that's about what people pay around here for a truck in that condition. Personally I would say 1k and I would not go any more. It does look like from the pictures there is rot, but have you gone to look at it?

*jake wells* · 09-18-2010, 12:18 AM

yes i have and it was already sold

though that a/c sure was nice haha

**old Rusty C10** · 09-18-2010, 11:46 AM

any idea what he got for it... i was in the $50o range myself for it

**N2TRUX** · 09-18-2010, 11:50 AM

If you can afford to pay 1200 for that truck, why don't you just fix your A/C?
