I bought a truck! How did I do? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

s10mk · 02-27-2018, 09:36 PM

Hi everyone.
I finally found a truck and I went and bought it today. Its really solid, it looks like it was undercoated right after it was bought new.
Anyway, its a 72 c20 Cheyenne package camper special.
67,000 miles
350 engine/ 350 trans
Leaf spring, dana 60.
It sat for about 5 years in a garage, but after tinkering for a few minutes, I got it to run, and I drove it onto a trailer.
I paid 4k$

also, how can I upload some pictures

$4K. I think you stole it. How's the interior?

s10mk · 02-27-2018, 10:11 PM

Drip rail plus spid

CST10 · 02-27-2018, 10:19 PM

I think ya did good.

s10mk · 02-27-2018, 10:19 PM

Better picture of the spid

**KevinK7** · 02-27-2018, 10:19 PM

That thing looks pretty solid for an east coast truck, ...I'd say you did just fine, truck looks darn good

You, my friend, have found the "Diamond in the pile of Coal"!

To find a truck in rthat shape down south, or out west is rare, but Pennsylvania? I wanna hang out with you!

You should play the Powerball!

Thank you much. Kind of ironic you say that, it spent its life in and around johnstown pennsylvania, which is right in the middle of the old coal and steel industry. It appears to have had two owners who really took good care of it. It was undercoated VERY thoroughly. I would have traveled to the southwest for this one, just by chance it popped up on Craigslist the other day near me. It is actually nicer than a lot of trucks l see in the southwest

s10mk · 02-27-2018, 10:30 PM

I think the interior is pretty nice, once I spend a few hours on it, it will clean up really well

s10mk · 02-27-2018, 10:33 PM

More interior pics

You done real good! I'm looking at trucks on the near-area Craigslist, and the prices are out of sight. Some people think that they have the holy grail or something.

**HO455** · 02-27-2018, 10:40 PM

Someone with a guilt complex would have to send the seller another $3000. Its a beautiful truck you scored. Plus it's got a nice list of options.

sduckworth13 · 02-27-2018, 10:43 PM

Nice truck! Drive the wheels off it.

**72 tigger** · 02-27-2018, 10:54 PM

Very nice- good job! Even has the factory AM/FM, any cracks in the steering wheel?

No cracks, the steering wheel is perfect. The dash is perfect as well. I'm looking forward to giving it a good once over, and just driving it and enjoying it

**leddzepp** · 02-27-2018, 11:12 PM

That’s a beauty

**Speedracer39** · 02-27-2018, 11:28 PM

That’s a Great find. Interior is clean and no speaker holes in the doors is a plus.

**Joesjunk** · 02-27-2018, 11:29 PM

Wow, that's a great looking truck. You got a killer deal on that one.

....great looking truck!

**jocko** · 02-28-2018, 01:18 AM

Aye caramba - super deal and a very nice truck. So, not only did you find it while living in PA, it was born in Canada! I'd say it's survived quite well.
