I might have sold my 78 Buckskin truck . - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

f.monroe · 07-20-2008, 09:12 PM

I had someone call me about a different truck . He asked if I had any others and I told him about the Buckskin truck . He asked and I put a price on it . I think he is flying in on Sat . I really wanted enter it in a local show the first week of September but that may not happen . What do you think the truck is worth ? Here are some detailed pics . It is a zero rust truck . Nonair . I will let you know hw the deal goes but wanted some input just for fun .

It IS a nice truck man and I wish you the best with the possible sale. Does the fact that it is a Big10 show up on the option label?

What's it worth, or what will it bring on the market? Even though it's not a factory air truck, and it doesn't have one of the most common colors it still should sell in the 8500+ range. If it sells for more, you done good. If it sells for less, you should have told me you would sell it so cheap...

f.monroe · 07-20-2008, 10:20 PM

The guy is from the northeast so he is looking for a rustfree truck and the nonair part is a plus to him . I sent him pics tonight so he would know exactly what he is looking at . I would not want him to come this far without good info . He said he flew out to get the tan/white 77 that was on ebay but didnt buy it . He also stated that he is a bigblock man so I am sure it will get some good attention . The only problem is that I just put the wheels on and started driving it again . Frank

Square84 · 07-20-2008, 11:44 PM

idk what its worth but i would like to have it in my garage.

68GMC454 · 07-20-2008, 11:47 PM

eyah it would look good in my driveway.. good looking truck.. id hate to sell it, but for the right amount, anything i got is forsell

SmokeShow · 07-21-2008, 11:58 AM

dang sharp and haven't the slightest idea what it'd be worth. Hope you feel good about what you offered it to him for.

good luck

jchav62 · 07-21-2008, 01:20 PM

Beautiful truck! I wish I had the $$$ for it...

Maybe you can buy it back after a while like you other truck!

CCL448Z = the bold four indicates it is a HD (Big 10) truck along with the HD Chassis description.

I don't think it is worth more than scrap. I am hauling a load off this weekend I could come pick it up for gas money

I say 6000-8000 on the low side from the pics, but I know you keep clean trucks....

shortchev · 07-21-2008, 04:26 PM

Hey Frank ,

Trucks rust out real quick on the far east coast . I would buy a truck like yours ...as it sits .. For $10,000 easy . when I was in the market for one . I would never be able to find a truck in that condition here for $6000-$8000 range . But there are less here than in the USA . I just bought a 88 K5 thats got a bit of rust on it for $4000 . I just wish all these nice truck were closer . Acording to what the 77 on Ebay was going for ..I would not sell your truck for less than $9000 .

Good Luck Pete

G35MIKE · 07-22-2008, 11:47 AM

great looking truck!

f.monroe · 08-01-2008, 11:15 PM

I will know tomorrow if it is gone or not . The guy is flying into Houston in the morning . I repacked the wheel bearings again , changed the oil, had the front end aligned , checked the rear axle lube level , and washed her. She should be ready for the trip if needed . I took more pics tonight and will probably get a couple of it leaving if it comes to it . I will miss this truck . I have another one spotted though .

Most folks wouldn’t give a d---n, they’d just sell the truck and send you on your way.

Thanks for being a class act!

f.monroe · 08-02-2008, 03:26 PM

Well this isnt me behind the wheel in this photo . The truck is headed to West Virginia . Cool guy that bought it and he has some neat vehicles and projects . A 56 one ton , a 68 short wide , I think a mid 60's chevelle , and now a solid Buckskin Cheyenne . He said it would be housing a big block in the future . Still hard to sell even though I got good money and it will be taken care of .

impalamark · 08-02-2008, 04:54 PM

I would not have been able to take that last picture

ostncoln · 08-02-2008, 06:24 PM

i would have hated to see that go. it is a very nice truck
i got a shot similar to that last one

PHOENIX · 08-02-2008, 08:10 PM

Frank,
If you don't mind, how much did you get for it?
If you don't want to tell I understand.

The more I looked at it the more I liked it.

It was a good sell so I let it go . My wife really wanted me to sell something and this came up . It sold for $9500 with a full tank of gas . The guy was super laid back and knew what he was looking for . He wanted a nonair truck and this one had no rust at all . He even stated that it was everything I said it was . I was glad that he was happy with it since he came so far to get it . He said he flew to Arizona to get the tan/white 77 that we have discussed here that is on ebay . He ended up losing his deposit since the truck had some imperfections that werent covered in the ad and he didnt buy it . That is why I took many detailed pics of this truck for him and told him everything I knew about it . I had some things done and did some maintenance to it to get it ready for the trip that cost me a little . I didnt mind since he was a real car guy and knew what he was looking for . I wanted the truck to be ready for the trip if needed . If you are on the road between Tx and West Virginia in the next couple days , you might see it . I hope his trip is uneventful and he has nothing but good times in the 78 . I told him about this site since he has other trucks so he may show up here . One thing is for sure , I did feel a little low watching it leave but, if I kept it I wouldnt be able to buy any more .
Frank

**N2TRUX** · 08-03-2008, 12:04 AM

You got good money for it so don't feel bad. He got a really nice truck, and you got a really good price. Both of y'all should be very happy....

"should" be any way....

**lolife99** · 08-03-2008, 09:02 AM

Frank you sound like a real truck guy. $9500 is a good price for your truck. In this day and age of people just trying to make a quick buck,... it's nice to see a buyer who appreciates the "real deal" enough to pay the price. Your "road prep" says alot about you. Maybe you'll have a truck that I can own someday. NOW,... what are you buying next?
