New from Eastern TN

Hello all, I am thinking of buying a 67-early 70's truck for my wife and found your forum. Definitely interested in "what to watch for" and such. The prices really range on these trucks, so finding out where the weak points are is critical. I'm sure you'll all be very helpful... looking forward to it!

Re: New from Eastern TN

Welcome to the board! I'm just down the road in Sevierville. There's lots of info to look into, here, so enjoy your stay. Prices do vary quite a bit on the 67-72's based on condition and options or customization. Maybe you can make it to one of the East TN truck meets and meet some fellow enthusiasts and gain some knowledge. Also, the Pigeon Forge rod run is next weekend to get plenty of trucks to look at and observe different options.

Re: New from Eastern TN

That's great news about rod week, I'll likely go!

So, not sure if I should ask here, or if there's a repository somewhere, but I wonder if there's a "top 10 things to watch for when shopping a vintage C10?"

Seems like the rocker panels and floorboards are pretty suspect..
