'75-down in California how rare are they getting?
I don't know about the rest of the state, but finding smog-exempt '75-down C10s in Orange County in any condition have gotten real hard to find.
I was curious if any of you guys in the other counties have noticed this? |

They are more common in other states bro. Around here as you know pre 76 are plenty around but they want an ARM and leg for a pos.

Re: '75-down in California how rare are they getting?
I have a feeling most people that have them are really holding onto them, just because they know that anything newer means playing the smog game.
To be honest, I rarely ever see a 73-74 or 75-76 era truck around here in Texas either. When I do see a round headlight truck, it seems like it's always a 77-80 and you can include mine in that. Most square bodies I see around here are 81+ trucks. On top of all that, it's even rarer to see a 67-72 driving around but we know there's a quite a few out there. I have a feeling these older trucks are tucked away in garages as weekend toys.

Took me about a month to find my 75 in the Bay Area. Last time I checked (a night or two ago) there were a lot of 77s and up for sale.

Yup, I never see round headlights driving much in Houston if ever. I had a hard time finding my 76 which is one reason I decided to keep/restore it.

Re: '75-down in California how rare are they getting?
That one reason I'm picking up a 73 this week, just for the frame and a few other goodies. They are becoming a sheltered item in Cali. Next step it to find a nicely hot rodded 70, 80s and buy it for 10 cents on the dollar to put my frame under.
I know my wife wants one more Square around the house |
