TRADE 68 Chevy C10 for RoadMaster Wagon (PGH)

1968 Chevy C10 Pickup, southern truck. Has some surface rust but still solid. Solid bed, a little rust on the floor pans, very solid trailing arms, 3.73 Gears, dent free (maybe some small dings)
NO MOTOR - I might be able to supply a stock 350

TH400 Trans



What I want - A wagon, pretty much the only requirement. I have a 2 kids now and want to build a wagon, the truck wont haul us 4 safely. LT1 would be awesome, but TBI is fine. I have a small roots style blower I can put on a TBI car



Truck is located in 15043... MIGHT be open to cash, but I haven't thought of a price. I've had the truck for 10yrs and there is a lot of memories and it would be easier for me to trade it.



If you want to part this truck out, get #### and #### ####### you #### of #### you ###### piece of ### #### I want only someone that is going to put the truck back together to get it. I promised the P.O. that I wouldn't let it get parted.

I can vouch for this guy. I've known him forever, and been trying to get him in a wagon for the past few years. I guess the day has finally come.

Wish you luck on working out a trade.Most of us are pretty attached to our wagons and it sounds like you are attached
to your truck.
After seeing your truck I am at a loss for words!!!
Good Luck

Figure I'll put it out there, if I have to sell it for cash I'll go that route. I dont want the temptation of cash in hand.

I know that there is a huge fan base out there for the old chevy trucks.I cant believe how much aftermarket stuff
there is for these trucks along with enough new sheet metal to virtually build a brand new 1968 chevy truck if you got
the cash.They are a lot more popular than our wagons just not here.
A good friend of mine is into late 60s ford f-100 trucks and he has spent a fortune on restoring a 67 F100 4wd
with the 4spd.His next project is converting another 67 to an estended cab with a late model chassis and drivetrain.
He loves those ford pick up truck as he has 6 of them and is always looking for more.

I figure just the same as I am a "other" brand/type vehicle enthusiast there will be some Wagon enthusiasts that would want an older classic to restore. May take awhile to find the right guy with the right car. But I figure a solid southern 68 shell worth a decent stock wagon. Cash for cash yes, but like I said I just need to find that one guy that has an extra wagon or wagon guy that wants a classic. Who knows, we'll find out. I have till next spring to get something.

i,m curious as to how much value you figure the truck is worth?

How much for the grill and taillight bezels?

In this area, $1500 is easily obtainable. If I would throw a motor in real quick and redo the flat black $2500. Down south or out west, these are work trucks and not worth too much. So hopefully someone in this area will want it. I don't expect anyone outside the rust belt to have much desire for the truck.

What part of doesnt want to part it don't you get?

Cadet57,

It's the Crovo. Who knows.


PS: I do believe the hood is included (not pictured).

PSS: I believe the beer bottles in the stake pockets can also be included.

I swore I posted in this thread yesterday....hmm.

I had a 1970 K-5 and had the exact same tach mounted in the same location which brought back memories.....IMO the 67-72 GM trucks were the best looking they ever built.

Just prior to my wagon fetish, I had a 1965 Dodge D100 I bought for 400, bought a set of 200 dollah 17 inch rims and sold the whole deal for 500 four years later. I think you can still see it on goole earth of my house

towed it home and it got towed out of my driveway four years later. Big plans of doing a Lil Red Truck tribute with a '65 stepside of a '78 production model, lol. Never got past the leaky tranny and F'ed up timing gear....

I learned how to drive a manual trans in a 71 GMC half ton. It was a rotted POS with a 307 and a 3 speed with "granny" gear. It took one hell of a beating but was very dependable.

Back in 75 I was trading cars constantly and ended up with a 73 chevy PU with a 307 and a 3 on the tree.It was a tough truck and did some
unbelieveable peg leg burnouts.I kept it about a month but it had no AC and when I priced a aftermarket AC installation it had to go.Traded it
for a new 75 dodge custom cargo van with a 318 and a torqueflite.I ordered the van with no rear windows at all and spent a fortune on the
interior.
I sware that the 73 truck came off the lot with rust listed as optional equipment because in 2 years the rear of the front and back fenderwells
were already starting to rust thru and that was down here in VA and no salting around here whenever it snowed.
