Another Interesting SWB 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DANTIP** · 11-13-2011, 10:44 AM

Went to see what was advertised to be an original paint '72 SWB 4x4 GMC Sierra. The truck is from Arizona and was 100% original paint and original body panels. The paint is worn through in the typical areas. It was missing a few original parts under the hood, but overall an unmolested nicely optioned SWB 4x4. See Pics! What do you guys think it's worth?

Gene · 11-13-2011, 10:56 AM

I don't know what its worth but I sure would love to have it, what's a nice truck!

That looks like a great truck. I'm completely jealous. I'd grab it! Any rust?

**DANTIP** · 11-13-2011, 11:35 AM

Zero Rust!!! Super nice steel bed, straight tailgate, etc.

Oh man, that's about the perfect truck; Got enough bed scratch that you could still use it as a truck without feeling guilty. I'd trade my brother for that truck.

jondancer · 11-13-2011, 12:38 PM

Where is it at? Pass on the info if your not going to buy it.
Thanks

Very tough to put a value on that. I would say $15,000 to $20,000 maybe??

**special-K** · 11-13-2011, 01:20 PM

Assuming everything is in good working order and original I'd put it over $10,000. My instincts say anywhere from $8,500-$15,000 depending on overall condition.

71swb4x4 · 11-13-2011, 01:30 PM

I think estimates will be all over the place. This isn't a widget, or even a 1972 SWB 4x4 with 200,000 miles. It's fairly close to one of a kind. Generally the market place will determine a starting figure on price, you price it competitively, and it sells. In this case you could sell that thing 100's of times at $8,000, but I think it's worth much more. (I just picked $8,000, not knocking on Tim's post.) You price this one high, and wait for the right buyer.

Here is Randy's truck priced at $9,000. It sold, no idea how much, but the asking price at least gives us an idea. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/c...-kansas&cat=12
I think the truck pictured above it worth a fair amount more.

If I could buy that truck for $10,000 I would really feel like I got an awesome deal.

Looks strikingly similar to my old orange/white 72 Cheyenne 4x4 swb from Arizona. Mine brought about $22000 when I pulled it off eBay with a day or two left and with bidding at $17k and sold it for that $22ish #. That was 4 or 5 years ago. I still would have to believe this is a $18 to 24k truck with documentation. You can never duplicate a beautiful factory original survivor and such a rare truck to start with. Mark

dcasalena · 11-13-2011, 01:36 PM

I saw that one, it's a beauty. Seller is asking $18,900 right?

Mark,

I thought of you twice when I saw the truck. First I recalled your SWB Cheyenne with similar equipment (I think your truck was superior to this because it was a Chevy and Red). Secondly, this truck has a Saddle interior and could use the Saddle wheel I sold you earlier this year.

Looks very nice in MHO. The maeket is soft but as has been said...original is only once.

nyncompute · 11-13-2011, 06:21 PM

Looks like the cousin of mine.

I wouldn't take less than $15K if it were mine. Good looking truck.

**D.PASSMORE** · 11-13-2011, 09:29 PM

Nice GMC!
Observation: Are the mirrors "Below eyeline mirrors" as called out on the spid? Those look like '71 camper mirrors.

teeitup · 11-13-2011, 10:17 PM

Very nice original truck

vectorit · 11-13-2011, 10:37 PM

Very nice!
Curious what it sells for.

nyncompute · 11-14-2011, 12:32 AM

Where was it advertised? Not in the market, but I'd dig more pictures

**DANTIP** · 11-14-2011, 09:41 AM

I will be making an offer today. Will let everyone know how it goes!! Wish me luck!!

Those are the correct Below eyeline mirrors.

I gave a general guesstimate based on "whatever" condition on any SWB K/10. A common mistake is to judge an entire vehicle on how great it looks in a couple of pictures. If it's as great as it appears it is worth no less than $15,000. I've looked at a lot of nice looking trucks that were all over the road,had shorts in the system,leaking gaskets/seals,etc. I believe Dantip knows what he's doing and it's probably safe to assume this is that rare original gem we seek. It may narrow the general playing field,but that truck being a GMC helps it's value over a Chevy. Fact is,they are way more rare and in this case very rare. If you prefer the original GM Truck then this is a precious gem and the rest can keep looking for a Chevy.

Learn something everyday... So, my mirrors are wrong on my 72 4x4, ha! I have sports mirrors with the same spid call-out -"Below eyeline mirro ".

I agree, no doubt, 15K would be a starting asking price - again if it is what it is...

Yes those are "Below Eye-Line Mirrors" The came in both white-painted and stainless. The West-Coast Mirrors use the same mirror head but larger supports for wider trailer towing. The standard mirror is the small "Sport" mirror and will not appear on the SPID.
