Hmmm, a bit high in general, but the right person might bite...........

Highest I paid for one was $1300 and drove it home('71 C-20 Cheyenne, 350, 3spd, nothing fancy) it has some rust on the lower cab area and the bed, but I drove it a year until we ruined the bed on the farm and then I popped on a $65 stake body. The 350 was starting to go as they just aren't cut out for farm work where a lot of low end grunt was needed, so I tossed it and put a Cummins Diesel in it. Now if I could just stop using it enough to fix the rockers, cab supports, cab corners and get it repainted I'll have a very useable truck for under $5000.

I paid $750 for my GMC t-tag and I could have resold it for triple that a few times. If it didn't have a V-6 in it I probably would have

We bought alot of C-10's for less than $300 in various condition, Picked up a K-10 for $50

I hate to say it, but atleast for us, days of cheap '67-'72's are over. The ones that haven't been sold already either aren't for sale, or the owners want blood for them. The greater Williamsport area is pretty picked over now, I know where a good half dozen are setting but the owner won't sell, also know where a decent '67 is at, but it isn't in too great of shape. I'd like to find a 4x4 cheap, but they are like a needle in a haystack around this town.
