Ask yourself how much could I sell each piece for if I put em up for sale individually tomorrow. Few hundred for the chassis, "maybe a couple hundred on the cab, maybe, doors? Check for trust on bottom maybe 75 each, fenders 150? Just rough numbers, but unless it's back together it's not a truck, it's parts. Look at it this way & stay on the right solide of it. I bought a 81 long bed truck (no motor, trans, or master cyl.) A couple years ago rust free with good paint for $650. Bought it cause it is a match body & paint to one I already have.

Re: 73 c10 sb

ok that is what I was thinking of was to part it all out. I will keep in mind if all the parts are there it was a 6 and 3 speed truck he has the motor and trans too.

Re: 73 c10 sb

In California, the paperwork is worth more than the truck. Someone will give you $500 for the cab with title.

Re: 73 c10 sb

I was thinking around $1200 for the whole thing since it is a sb.

Re: 73 c10 sb

on your coast 1200 might be fair....on our side 1200 would get you a running driving truck...around here for a truck in the condition you described. ..maybe 500 for the whole thing...unless there was something extremely collectable or rare about it..

Re: 73 c10 sb

If you are thinking of buying it and re-selling it for profit, I don't think it's worth your time. Too many out there in better shape, and together for not a lot of money.
Here's a pic of the one (on the left) I bought for $650, rust free, with good paint. No motor, trans., master, but other than that it's a great long bed. Way better factory paint than my K20 sitting next to it on the right.
Thinking I will marry them up one day.
So, unless it's a running and driving truck, it's parts. I would pass if it was me with the rust you mentioned.
Might want to try SearchTempest. fill in zip code, cars/trucks for sale, any distance, and C-10 as search criteria and it will search your local craigslist ad, then next town, county, state, circle keeps getting bigger and bigger and you can see every c-10 in the nation for sale and what price they are "ASKING".
nothing else, you will educate yourself on what they are bringing and how many are available.

Re: 73 c10 sb

Short beds are always more valuable. But "rusty" short beds? Do what you want. I pass on rusty vehicles and wait and find those that are not rusty. You get a guy in the rusty part of the country, rust repair might not be too much of an issue.
