  • Enablers.... Please speak up

    Alright I have been on the hunt for an old pickup to daily drive. Everything I have found is shot. Like not safe shot. I was looking for something that would move under its own power and wasn't a rust pile.
    Until today. I found a ( not sure on the year 70s) c10 body is fairly straight will for sure need one rocker and a little rust through on the bed floor. No seat, motor, tranny or wireharness. $850.
    Now I think I can get the guy down on it to maybe $500. Dad said he has a 350 and th350 for a short loan. But even if I went to the Jy I could get motor and trans for $350. That leaves wire harness and fuel tank. It's still behind seat. Seats are $20-30 at junkyard.
    Paint is shotty at best. I think it was painted at night. Runs everywhere but it would fit in at Walmart parking lot.
    What say you?

        it's more like a 68 or 9, but it looks great in your yard - congrats on the purchase

            neat truck, it's a 67 first year of that body style, you can tell by no side marker lights, and also it has the small rear window which was only installed on pickups that year, 68 and later were all large window.

              That's sounding like a pretty good deal, but you need to understand that I have an unhealthy fixation with those trucks.

              The rockers are rusty on ALL of those-even in Arizona. Check the cab mounts and braces for rust before you pull the trigger.

                cab mounts are weak on all 60s trucks

                  What else is notoriously bad on these trucks. Going to look at three on Monday. The frame brake lines and front suspension looked good on that one.

                            The cowl and upper firewall area, and inside above the windshield seem to be the rust-prone areas in So. Cal., both difficult to do anything with. All that being said, IMO the '67s are too cool and if the rust wasn't too bad I'd just treat it and live with it. I had both a '67 small-window cab-and-chassis 1-ton, and a long-bed with a '70s turbo setup for a short while but had to make a choice to send them on...I really needed an extra-cab truck for family duties...wish I hadn't as the truck I kept was a p.o.s.
