What do you think of this Craigslist truck? '72 C10 Cheyenne - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all,

I'm going to be calling about this truck later today, but thought I'd tap into the brain trust here in the mean time. The pictures aren't great, I apologize. I'll at least be asking the seller for more pictures. It's a few hours away from me or else I'd drive right over today and look at it.

It seems like a solid price for what it looks. Having a ZZ4, TH400, etc. The SPID picture is too small for me to read so it's not much help. Any thoughts for a newbie? If this is a member's truck feel free to PM me!

That was my thought. Tires, dash light, door pins... he is asking $5500.

Definatly worth looking at, if it's as described it will be sold pretty quick

If the description is right and this is the truck you like, then go take a look and verify all is good then make a comfortable deal for you. It is a nice looking truck.

Good luck ! .

If it's truly rust free that's the sweet deal right there and I don't even like long beds , V-8's & Cheyennes .

Keep us posted , that looks to be a great place to begin .

I would bet that having a ZZ4 installed in a truck would cost close to the asking price.

Looks like a deal in the ad, good deal or not will be revealed when you see it in person...hope it works out for you!
