i have delt with him before (last Summer) ,very nice guy

And he has an excelant reputation with colletors and gets repeat customers with big money

i was bidding on a 72 swb stepper from him , the guy who beat me out paid $18,000 sight unseen (pics only), and the same guy baught a $30,000 harley the same day from the same guy

he sells very nice stuff takes great pics and lists it the best he posibly can



some one made a coment about the tires not lasting that long.
i still have the original tires from my 67 on the original rims and i put 200 miles on them last year before i swaped em out (yes they where a litt dry rotted but my truck was in a barn and not a good controled climate)
so i believe that they are original tires to
no let me go find a pick of my 70 gmc painted wood bed ,why because i havnt looked at it in over a week.

I DO BELIEVE THERE WAS A CARFUL REPAINT
with some intentional error such as stuff you would see from the assym. plant

Really nice truck, and so far probably worth the money, BUT: Sandalwood trim, but the SPID sticker says gold. Motorola radio is dealer installed, but why is the antenna on the wrong side? 10,000 miles and the tail pipes are rusted out? Possible, I guess. Good point about the factory writing on the firewall. I would have to see this truck in person, but it seems a bit odd. Like maybe it isn't really 100% original.

i had to go back and look again, the firs time i didn't notice any of the factory spot welds on the tailgate. i can see the ones in the center but along the edges the don't seem near as visable as on my take off GMC tailgate, mabe the orange just hides them better than the green

[stllookn]

solver...that glove box SPID does look incredibly suspicious. I have one from an original '71 low mileage truck with the clear plastic over the top like you said. My '67 and '68 did not have that. There is no way that that SPID got burned liked that without doing some damage to the glove box door! FAKE!!!!!

[JameslovesJammie]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't all steering columns painted black from the factory?

If I had the money, I would bring it home to ND (Sawyer is only 25 miles from Minot!)

[HeavyD]

Tilts were all black, non-tilt was matched to interior color

[jpkerley]

with regards to the 396/402 issue, I had a 1971 GMC it had the original glove box decal and it stated it was a 396, i asked around and a lot of people told me they stopped making them in 69 also. I had fact air, buckets, ps, pb, tilt, tach etc. should have kept it.

[special-K]

Just remember two things:1)There`s the truck,2)There`s the dealer.The dealer has "Classic" in his name.This is a typical "Classic" "dealer" "ad".
*The VIN-spec sheet doesn`t look burnt at all.Looks original to me.
*Steering columns black w/tilt or black vinyl.
*The truck is worth $25,000+ in that original condition w/BB

Turbo hydramatuc? That glove box decal is just too clear and carefully torn. COUGH<poser>Cough

[Joe67]

And I thought Camaro and Corvette guys were tough on cars

[soonrfish]

the mirrors on the doors... if I'm not mistaken, 70 model would have rectangular heads on those arms... not the old style round head

good eye. i didnt notice this, but yes....they shouldnt be round.

not sure about the black steering columns. mine is the original green from the factory.

I looked at the overspray on the ashtray & went back & looked at it again. It almost looks like a reflection off of the paint. The heater controls look red in the pic too. All in all, I think I believe them.

[barepaint]

I agrre with shane...overspray it's been painted...but it is very sharp

[Longhorn Man]

cool, I've never noticed a 70 with the round style. It is a january truck, so that is highly feasable.

[64fleetside]

I had a 69 that came w/67-8 style red/white hubcaps-I bought it from the only other owner & he said it came that way. Another buddy of mine has a 70 CST w/the round mirrors, I think it was an early truck also,,I think plants used what they had til it was gone,,brian

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Very nice truck.....

[oldgold70c10]

My truck was two-toned just like this one, and came out of the same plant 3 months earlier and has the same kind of overspray of the white over the body color and the same paint lines around the door. Mine also does not have a laminate over the glove box lid decal, so must be a factory variation (J in the vin = Janesville, WI).

Soo, I'd vote for original paint and decals. A very well kept truck.

[Longhorn Man]

2 of my 3 trucks had no laminate over the SPID label.

[jacobs]

SPID label states 396. Shouldn't it be 400?

[Longhorn Man]

Well, if any thing, it should read 402. The badging and spid label causes tons of confusion back then, and 35 years later.
regardles what it says, 396, 400, 402... what ever.... it was a 402 from '70 to 74 or so.

[see ten]

An impressive truck! Also an impressive price for a LWB non A/C non 72 model. I'm not knocking the Long beds fellas its just a fact that they typicaly dont bring the money an identical SWB would.

[blazerparts]

It just makes me leery when a vehicle is advertised as a survivor and has an obvioulsly replaced glove box sheet listing "turbo-hydramatuc" instead of turbo-hydramatic. I figure just about everything listed is suspect.

[Longhorn Man]

You've never seen typos on the SPIDs?

[Shane]

Not trying to be a smart a$$, but I can honestly say that I have not.

[Longhorn Man]

typed that just knowing it was common...and I know i HAVE seen a few... but of course... I can't find any photos of any.
