Questions On What I Found Today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was going to work and noticed the front end of what I thought would be a 69-70 Chevy truck. Well I go to check on it at lunch, the guy said its a 72, so I walk over to it. It's got Cheyenne 10 on the fenders, so I look inside it has a headliner, cargo light, factory air, gauge package. And I notice the screw holes for the vent window. Great windshield, has all good glass,with moldings too. Then I look at the wheels on the truck and they are 8 lug with coil spring. I didn't know they made a 3/4 in coils. It's a flat bed. It also has 350 emblems and look under the hood and it's a 6 cyl. I know it's worth what the guy priced it to me for. Oh it has some rust, how much is it worth, dash isn't cut either.

What would it be worth without seeing it?

*Shane* · 02-19-2007, 10:09 PM

is it the greenish-blue LWB one sitting on the side of Highway 72?

truknut · 02-19-2007, 10:18 PM

No Shane it's not that one. That truck you're talking about was about 1600 or 1800 I can't remember.

Cardboard sign today say $2,400 ... it was stuck under the For Sale sign. I haven't stopped to look at it up close, just passing by on my way home from Florence / Muscle Shoals.

Get the vin & decode it, sounds like a mix & match truck with 72 body parts & a 70 grill or someone did a motor swap. The 3/4 tons came in both leaf & coils. Check the glove box lable AND the Vin Plate, get both numbers if they don't match up. Pics would help with determining a value.

My C20 had coils with an over-load spring.

cdowns · 02-20-2007, 04:28 PM

truknut · 02-24-2007, 07:01 PM

bad_turbo · 02-24-2007, 11:45 PM

truknut · 02-25-2007, 12:00 AM

I don't know for sure if it runs yet, the guy said it would. It hasn't been tagged since 01. My dad and I are going to try it when I get it home.
