76 stepside 454/400/373

[pound41]

My dad recently passed away. He has a 76 c-10 stepside that he special ordered with a 454 turbo 400 and a 373 posi rear. It was also ordered as a heavy 1/2 with extra leafs on it and no emissions. The body is better than most it does need rockers. I plan on fixing the body and everything back to original as was his plan. I own a 1970 and 1971 blazers so I am not current with 76 prices. For insurance what would you guess it would be worth
Thank for any help

Welcome to the 73-87 forum pound41. Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. It's nice to know he had good taste in trucks. Insuring one of these trucks is tough. If you go with blue book value, it would probably come in around 2500-3000 at best.

If Pics would help a lot.

Is the truck the chevy sport model(stripes,scottsdale)and how original is it ...

I think insurance depends alot on how old you are, driving record and year of the truck.. at least down here. I'm 37 with no tickets and my 81 2WD costs me about $180 a year.

Mechanically,drive train and body are all original. It was repainted a different color. It was originally 81 Gold but it was painted a red color. It is a scottsdale. No stripes. When he went to order it I begged for the black or orange with the white stripes. He said no way. I was very dissappointed because he was getting rid of my favorite truck.

hey sounds like my truck, cept its a 75 GMC, but its a factory 454/T400/3.73/AC.
I have mine insured as a collector through AAA, no problem unsuring it for a stated value of 10,000. I really need to get it appraised proffesionally. Ive been told by a couple friends who are pretty knowledgable that it should come in 20-25K. well see, Im a bit sceptical.

Hey all, not to hijack the thread, but my friend is in a similar situation.

His dad passed away recently and he has a 1977 stepside GMC. orig owner with a bigblock 454, th400 and posi rear. Factory ac and original black paint. ONLY 16k miles too!

Bed wood is gone and DS rocker is bad. Been parked outside forever.

He is thinking about selling it but not sure what to start the opening bid at..

ANy thoughts without seeing pics?

Check with your insurance company. I know that if I get my appraised, I can have my insured for whatever the appraisal comes in at without any issues. I have erie ins. which is pretty popular up in PA. Good luck with your fix ups.
