1969 CST long bed

Just wondering if a 1969 CST long bed with a 350 is a desirable truck. I have been looking at one to possibly add to my '63 K20. Also anything I should be looking out for with this truck, thank you, Ben.

If its a 4x4, it is fairly desirable. If its a K20 CST and you pass, let me know, I've been searching for a long time for one.

If a C10 or C20, its really not that rare so desirability will be determined by the options and most importantly, condition. Odds are fairly decent it will have bucket seats, which are pretty nice.

Sometime in '70, they widened the rear axles. This truck would have the narrow, less desirable rear

Re: 1969 CST long bed

Is it desirable to you? You are asking on a website dedicated to 67-72's. There are threads dedicated to long bed trucks, with cst being one of the highest trim levels. I'd say yes it's desirable. Ask a Ford truck enthusiast, and he may say no. I say if you like it, that's all that matters.

Ok thanks, it's a C10 gold in color with a bench seat. It appears to be in really good condition.

Re: 1969 CST long bed

Longbed can mean so many things. For me it would be a CST/30 stepside (9') or Longhorn (8'6") Big block and buckets would be great too.

I normally look at 60-66 trucks but keep finding myself looking at the 67-72's! I never thought I'd be into a lowered truck but they look real nice. Thank you for the info, Ben
