I'm looking at this '68 C-10 long fleet - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

pritch · 04-04-2011, 07:20 PM

It's really pretty straight, overall.

The bed is in real good shape

The cab is not a rusty mess, either. Guy wants $1,000 for it. What do you think? The brakes are shot, but the 250 six fired right up and didn't smoke or knock. It's a California truck originally, but I have no idea how long it's been in Utah. I'll post some more pictures...

pritch · 04-04-2011, 07:29 PM

More...

That rust is a little deeper than surface, but not much, nowhere near rusted thru. Of course, rockers and corners are rusted thru.

It's a heavy half-it has the overload spring.

The door latch on the driver's side don't latch. the piece that's on the door is bad, but I have others. In fact, I pretty much have everything this truck needs here at the house already. I think the windshield is probably the most expensive thing it needs to be on the road. I didn't try to drive it, because of the no brakes thing, but the clutch felt right.

A couple more...

I really need a driver, and this just might be the ticket. Thousand bux...deal or no deal?

Sillyoldman · 04-04-2011, 07:36 PM

It sounds like you know what needs to be done. These trucks usually do not hide to many surprises. If I were in your shoes I'd say it's a deal.

lil hoodlum · 04-04-2011, 07:47 PM

I agree, it's a deal! Looks pretty good to me!!

Whatcha waitin' for?

Yeah-that's the one. Looks like the consensus here is the one I was hoping for. I think I'll go ahead and try to get it. Need to work on my wife a little. She don't understand these things sometimes.

We should meet up someday, Heavy Evy. We're practically neighbors.

Heavy Evy · 04-04-2011, 10:19 PM

Sure man no prob. Talk things over with the boss and see if you can get it. Theres always a good deal on ksl if this slips between your fingers.

**70cst** · 04-04-2011, 10:27 PM

o6r1man · 04-04-2011, 11:10 PM

VA72C10 · 04-05-2011, 12:25 AM

Looks like a solid purchase for 1K

674x4ton · 04-05-2011, 03:01 AM

Better jump on it befor some one else does,you may never find a better deal.

pritch · 04-06-2011, 02:50 PM

Well, I went ahead and bought it. Probably can't get it home until Saturday, though. I need to line up a trailer. I'm excited to get it on the road!

Pillow · 04-06-2011, 04:22 PM

Good deal!!!

GASoline71 · 04-06-2011, 04:37 PM
