my 76 c10

The local car dealer up the street has 2 on his lot right now but he has them priced like lambos

Yep, Dealers do that. They think these things are gold. They are gold to us, but no insurance company pays like their gold so you have to buy them right because in the event they get totalled then you've taken a huge loss.

Ohhh man, I'd love to have that truck. If it were mine, I wouldn't do much to it. It's looks straight and unmolested. I'd love to not have power streering too. I'd just keep them stock like it is, clean it up a bit and just drive it. I'd keep those too, but about the only thing I might do, is get some of the chrome dog dish factory hub caps.

Yeah it'll strategy no rust or anything custom except a few aftermarket stickers I've doendone little thinks like oil, gaskets, and other little things

Yeah I like the old roundeyes a little more than the squareeyed ones but I'd take any really

Total ridiculousness. It's a $3000 truck at best, maybe a bit more for the plow if it's a good one in good shape and properly mounted. Most square plow trucks have bad rust issues. Obviously, they're out in the ice and snow.

I prefer the inset grill style over the later ones like mine but im the same id take any square. Even if i got a 73 with a 250 i wouldnt care.

Id say its a 4 maybe 5k at best. I could snap a pic and post it up and tag ya. It is nice but not 8500

Ive seen it in this lot for about 2 years sittin in the same spot and ive never seen it move snow.

Hey @White76c10 sorry about thread jackin ya, its so easy to get talkin.

Yeah I seen an 87 with cancer all over it had a 6 inch lift and a plow also it was a r speed

That's what I'd do. Just keep it maintained. That thing will probably go forever. Other good news is, it's NOT the integral head 250 that's prone to cracking heads and overheat issues. Being a base model truck, there's just not going to be alot that goes wrong with it. Put a new clutch in it, do it right, have the flywheel turned and trued or replace it with a new one, and that new clutch should last 150,000 - 200,000 miles with a driver who knows how to drive it right.
