I'm going t restore it although I just started a frame off 1967 GMC K15 project so it will be after I'm done with that. In the meantime I think I'm going to try to get it road worthy and drive it around. The engine is loose but I'll probably pull it anyways just to make sure there aren't internal problems. I'd hate to ruin the original engine because of laziness!

What make you think it's a 70? The vin starts out CE149J which would make it a 69

Katrina/10 · 10-08-2013, 10:33 AM

Looks like a good project.

ole dollor · 10-08-2013, 10:48 AM

nice buy .. glad you found one at the auction, the weather up there is hard on bed wood, all of the pic's I saw the bed wood was toast...

Lou Boffa · 10-08-2013, 10:51 AM

How many miles on it?

1972SUPERSB · 10-08-2013, 12:05 PM

Very cool! I'm glad I am seeing some of these trucks from the auction. I will be following this thread!

THAT is the question!

1972SUPERSB · 10-08-2013, 12:38 PM

Looks like 78k looking at his other thread

jmader · 10-08-2013, 02:38 PM

Yep. 78k miles. It is pretty funny how all the wood boxes basically just vanished. All the vehicles were pretty rough that's for sure but I wonder if they were sold 40 years ago how many of them would still be on the road. At least these weren't driving around on roads that were all salted up for the snow. That seems to make rust issues a lot worse. It almost seems like these vehicle are getting a second chance.

Looking at the front grill, I would think so too. It looks like a 70 grill. Good luck with it.

Absolutely. Bet all--or at least most--of these vehicles will be restored and valued. The looks, smiles and thumbs up they get when cruising down the road is for everyone. Very cool.

You guys are probably right. The grill does look different in the picture. I guess there's a good chance it was wrecked at some point and refitted with 1970 parts. That might explain why the front clip is so straight. I'll get a better picture of it tonight. What other difference should I be looking for?

**special-K** · 10-09-2013, 08:09 AM

I guess it has metal door panels,so that won't show a difference between 69 and 70. The VIN says it all,though.

jmader · 10-09-2013, 08:30 AM

jmader · 10-09-2013, 08:36 AM

Here are some more pictures. The last one is an empty PBR can that was under the seat!

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-09-2013, 09:09 AM

I haven't seen a can like that in years. Subscribed and watching, I'll join the otherthread also

Steve Hafner · 10-09-2013, 05:07 PM

. . . .

Did the passenger side valve cover have any remains of an "8 307" sticker on it ? ( under the dirt, that is !!! )

If so, could you take a close-up picture of it ?

To bad the truck preserve as well as the can!!

Yep, history for sure, the highest number of cars/trucks ruined by one guy then sold in an over the top, over publicized auction with crazy over the top herd mentality bidding.

White70C20 · 10-09-2013, 09:17 PM

That is a very cool truck! A piece of automotive history for sure!

I was there. It was crazy what some of those heaps were bringing. One trashed 60's Caprice wagon with a smashed in front end brought $600-800. Not to mention a 1982 "Brand New" Chevette that went for over $2800. The biggest kicker was the '58 Apache 10 with Cameo trim with 1.3 original miles that sold for $145,000! That's just stupid crazy!

**hooverfish** · 10-09-2013, 09:36 PM

I think its cool you had the guts to fight that crowd .... years from now you can tell car guys you were 'there'..... kinda like Woodstock. And congratulations on your purchase.
