WIW...'83 Custom Deluxe - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChevLoRay · 03-26-2012, 09:49 PM

Been driving by this guys house, where he has an '83 Custom Deluxe C-10 SWB Fleetside. Someone stole the left front tire/wheel off of it so he pulled it down beside his garage (busy street). Anyway, you can see the driveshaft is out of the tailshaft. He says the transmission is still in it. No engine. It has a tilt column. The body is fairly straight...one ding in the right side of the bed, between the door and wheel opening. I did see a minor bit of rot behind the left rear wheel. Guy wants $500 for what he has. It hasn't been lowered, so it is a bit tall, for my tastes. But, it looks like a good place to hide my '69 350/TH400 while my '69 is blown apart.

Square bodies haven't always been my favorite, but I long for the sound of a V8...my V8...and the Flowmasters that I haven't heard in over 2 years.

Just don't know what SWB C-10's from '83 are worth...without engines and transmissions.

500 is a good price for swb square..

between three and six hundred dollars depending on how nice the truck is

$500 pretty much scrap price here... and its worth twice that in parts... I think I would buy it, you could be hearing your pipes again in no time.

Try to get pictures of it, people on here can help way more with pictures of it's flaws or it's good.

I'd offer 350-400 and see what happens.

Gonna call the guy and stop by and take some pix so I can mull 'em over. Last thing I want/need, is a buttload of body work. Paint is a given, but I'm thinking at this point, that Maaco is a very good alternative for a DD.
