Possible new 60-66 member; 65 C10 w/83K - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-16-2011, 08:01 PM

Customer's brother-in-law passed away and left this lady with a 1965 C-10 with 83,000 miles on it. This is a Calif. truck with a 6 cylinder, Air conditioning and a 4 spd. That's all I know until she sends me some pics. She's asking $3,000 and says the body is straight except the little rust on the bottom of the driver's door. She says her brother is going to fix this with bondo. (I told her to skip that).
I have no clue about the going price for these trucks since I sold my '63 15 years ago.
Does this sound like a good deal ? It comes with a camper on it. Thanks-Brian
Pics to follow when I have them.

**aerotruk63** · 09-16-2011, 08:41 PM

Pictures will tell, but you don't get much for that kind of money today. Sounds like a great deal. Advise will cost you pictures though, so your now in debt!

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-16-2011, 09:10 PM

Thanks. I did get some pics but they were WAY too big and you can't see a thing. I think she's new to email. Will post any usable future pics. Brian

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-16-2011, 09:30 PM

OK here's what I have after using an sditing program (hope this works).

She mentioned that they were replacing the water pump.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-16-2011, 09:32 PM

Inside Camper;

That camper is too cool. It looks like there is a sliding canopy on the back to give you extra shade.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-16-2011, 10:01 PM

Yeah, that's one of the things she mentioned. Some kind of slide-out awning.
Good eyes there Slow Build.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-16-2011, 10:03 PM

How rare is AC on one of these? You can see the old York type compressor in the first pic.

padresag · 09-16-2011, 10:58 PM

by look of the bracket, I don't think that the a/c is OEM.

Original green paint on engine=292 six option.

McCoyAZ · 09-17-2011, 12:03 AM

I paid $3000. for my 64 C10 that was in way better shape than the one you are looking at.

Looks like you have some rust issues in the front as well as the door you mentioned.

Not sure but I would not pay $3K for that truck.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-17-2011, 12:31 AM

Well, happy about the 292 option (thanks for the tip) I guess I'll go out and kick the tires a bit and give her a low-ball offer like $2100 IF it looks restorable.Frankly I think they are in over their heads with this thing. She says "Oh,my brother is replacing the fuel pump" but when I looked at the pics close up in their original huge format, I could see that things weren't right in that engine compartment. I'll go out there and have a look-see.Take a few pics and post en up.- Brian

**ChiefRocka** · 09-17-2011, 07:11 AM

Cool truck !!!

Dibs on the camper ! .....

oldtrux · 09-17-2011, 08:30 AM

camper does look cool!fleetside bed looks to be in great condition.i agree,go in with a lower offer.good luck man!

Scot_Douglas · 09-17-2011, 08:53 AM

In Michigan, I think that would sell for the asking price in about, oops!!! already sold!

That thing looks straight, has minimal (almost mandatory) rust and I can't see any damage - not that the pictures show it all. I guess it would come down to the interior and if I found any problems created by a shadetree mechanic.

And that camper! It's awesome!

I hope the truck is sweet, she takes your offer and John gets the camper.

tooslo60 · 09-17-2011, 12:47 PM

Big window, straight bed, looks to be mint hood, I would snag it up before someone else does.

The OEM configuration has the compressor and plumbing on the passenger side of the engine compartment. I'm guessing it's an underdash unit.

Do you have any interior pictures?

SIR · 09-17-2011, 01:40 PM

..great period piece...restore it camper and all....offer 3k..drive it home.

Slow Build · 09-17-2011, 03:08 PM

What do you guys think that camper is worth? It looks like it's in pretty good condition and you don't see anything that cool everyday. I would think it would be worth at least a grand by itself.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 09-17-2011, 06:24 PM

Went to look just now and here's the good; Wood bed is absolutely Mint and the inside of bed is perfect.
The dash and interior are real good.
The camper is a Pullman and is pretty cool. It forms the rear of the bed so there is no tailgate. Guy said he'd look aroung the garage for it (right).
The old guy working on it told me the motor was a 232 high torque something-or-other but it looked like a standard old 250/292 to me. The engine mounts were staggered so I would bet it is a 292.
The bad; rust and bondo pass side,hood,rockers both sides with gapping holes.
I didn't offer on it mainly because I saw too much work and expense.Plus didn't want to look too interested anyway.
Tires were all real rotten on split-rims.
Heavy trailer hitch with a trailer brake controller in the cab so I would suspect the drive line.
They didn't have it running yet.
