She's gone..... Going to miss that truck

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

That is one of the best colors for the 1969 year!!!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

That is a gorgeous pickup!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Beautiful truck! Someone will be very happy with it. Wish it was me but buying that one would cost me a lot more tha $18k when my wife found out.:lol:

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Thanks for the positive comments guys...

It's better in person, than the photos let on, and mechanically, is a sweatheart of a truck that I've spent a lot of time/$ sorting out. While a guy can always "tinker", it needs absolutely nothing to be a daily, and runs/drives as well (straight/tight/quiet) as most vehicles 30 years newer......

I was planning pulling it out and shooting a ton of photos this weekend, but the weather has sucked. (COLD, and now this morning...snow).

Not pulling it out of the heated garage until it's at least above freezing. :waah:

Stay tuned.......

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Dang, why are you only 4 hours away!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I've got family and friends in your neighborhood.....

I'll deliver her for free! :chevy:

Good luck there 70chevytruck - keep me posted on a "new" truck you end up getting!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I called and left a voicemail with my ph# last night. Feel free to give me a shout!

Thanks

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Not this time of year unless it’s in an enclosed trailer, lol. That’s too sweet to chance getting salt on it. :chevy:

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Yep!... it would be in an enclosed trailer...


Still too crappy out to take fresh/sunny/nice photos. Hopefully tomorrow (Saturday)


I did find this one on my computer however. Pulling our old '69 Forester Camper.

This pic was taken a few years ago before I replaced the camper bumper with stock bumper. And replaced the 16.5 wheels (ordered new with truck) with the white 16" currently fitted.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

That combo is too cool. Is the camper for sale??

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

The camper is not for sale, thanks!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Finally above freezing AND sunny out! Time for some better pics.

Truck has been in heated storage for well over 3 months. She started up instantly, and while getting it up to temp, took a slew of photos.

The white paint on the roof on the cab is just about perfect. The original owner ordered this truck to haul a slide-in camper, so roof was always covered and out of the weather. Truck was stored indoors when not being used, and the low miles was due to the fact that this was only used as a summer "camping" vehicle. It had a beautiful Alaskan camper on it, which I tried to buy, but he wouldn't let it go!!!!

Truck was ordered without a rear view mirror, has helper springs (for camper weight), and dealer-installed hold down hooks on bedside.

I mentioned above that the truck is 99% rust free... If you were able to figure out the true "rust-to-solid metal" ratio, it would probably be closer to 99.5% rust free :) I've owned 5 year old vehicles with more rust.....

The two areas of visible "through" rust are small hole on top/center of firewall (from leaves/debris sitting in tray and holding moisture), and the typical spot on inner fender below battery. I've taken photos of these two areas.

The rocker and sill paint is still original. When I pulled the original vinyl flooring, there was a small amount of the typical rust at the kickpanel-to-floor area. It was not yet "through" rust, so areas were cleaned, treated, and small stainless patches were 3M panel-bonded over the areas for rigidity. From the bottom of the truck, it looks factory original. Floor was then painted/soundproofed/carpeted. I used the remainder of the turquoise paint to "roll" (foam pad) the bed of the truck just to clean it up a bit from scuffs/scratches. Tailgate still has original paint on backside, so you can see what the rest of the bed looked like before rolling it.

There is no other cancerous rust on truck. I've owned at least 20 of these trucks over the years (still have 4 of them), and this is one of the most solid, unrestored pickups I've ever seen.


On to the pics!

That one beautiful original 1969 C20 you have there!!!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Was that sold new in Watertown SD?

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Yes, from what I understand, it was bought new at Sanders (Watertown, SD) and brought back to Eastern Montana. Somewhere near the ND/SD/Montana borders intersection.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

***PENDING SALE***

Would really like for this to go soon guys. I am quite literally out of room!!!


I've been sent messages from a number of guys now saying that I should put it on Bring A Trailer. I've thought about it, but this is the only place that I have this truck listed for sale at this time.

Spring is just around the corner!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I need those dealer emblems on the fender. LOL. Has my last name on it. Good looking 3/4t.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I don’t think it’s that expensive to list a vehicle on bring a trailer. I think you would reach a much wider audience and for the cost of the insertion fee put the reserve at your lowest price and see what happens. I’ve been amazed at some of the high prices some of these vehicles go for. I’ve also been surprised by a few that haven’t sold. I think it takes a couple weeks for the ad to get listed so you may want to at least reach out to them.

Beautiful truck and good luck with the sale.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

From what I have seen on there it is $99 for a 7 day auction. You can upgrade the service for additional fees.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Have you considered using Craigslist? I listed a 55 Chevy car in the "North Dallas/Ft Worth" section back in 2014 and had guys almost stepping over each other to buy it! Wanted $18K, got $20K. it probably would sell for $30K now, but that's another story.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...cons/icon9.gif

I've also sold all kinds of take-off parts on CL, from cylinder heads to carbs to wheels and tires.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I may post it up on Craigslist, but man, the goofballs that come out of the woodwork when dealing on that site is quite amazing.

Figured this place, of any would be the best suited to true C10/C20 truck enthusiasts, who actually know what they're looking at!!

One of my friends sold a car (Triumph Spitfire) on Bring a trailer, and it took almost a month for them to get everything listed/figured out/etc. I'm not looking to win the lottery on selling this truck. It is well worth EVERY single penny of my asking price.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

If you want $17K, then ask $19.5K. Otherwise you will end up with guys offering $15K or less and expecting to meet in the middle. It's just the way it works.

And I would do cash only, or go with the buyer to his bank and get a cashier's check. Or if his bank isn't local, then get a cashier's check and call his bank to confirm it's good.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Put it on bring a trailer or any auction site for that matter. People pay stupid money for these trucks there. People competing for it on a timeline will keep bidding with their egos and wallets because they don’t want someone else to “beat them”. One guy looking at it in your driveway doesn’t feel any pressure and will hem and haw. The seller wins every time in an auction situation. You will get more than what you are asking for it right now. That’s a really nice truck.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I'm interested, I sent you a message with my phone number. Thanks

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Howdy Guys...

well, I think that I've been talked into putting the truck up on bring a trailer. A friend stopped by last week to drop off some parts.

He's another Chevy truck nut, but doesn't do "internet". He is just about finished with a 3 year nut-n-bolt restoration of a '67 C20.... It is one of those trucks that will be too nice to drive. Every single inch of that truck has been restored beyond new. Kind of like a "perfect toy truck" sitting on a shelf. He knows C/K trucks very well.

Anywhoooo...
When I told him what I was asking for my '69, he basically called me a "moron" and told me I was leaving at least 5G's on the table. I told him that I'm not looking for "home run money", and he called me a moron again... :lol:

Going to reach out to bring a trailer on Monday and see what it's all about.

In the meantime, it's currently 1 degree (fahrenheit) outside, and the truck is still tucked away nicely in a heated garage......

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Yeah...........your truck should do very well on bring a trailer. I would love to see your friends truck once it's finish too. See if you can talk him into posting some pictures on this forum.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I've got a couple of his truck.. Not the best pics, but...gives a guy an idea.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Yes...…that should definitely give a guy an idea of how nice it is.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

It looks like a show piece for sure!!!!

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

sscooter - Very nice truck. I have looked at it a dozen times on here. Would you have any info on products/technique that you use to restore the paint?

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Here is a reply that I made to another thread a few months ago.... might help you out.

Off to her new home.....

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Congrats on the sale...I guess. However, someday you may kick yourself in the butt.;)

I sold a nice 82 SWB in late 2020 for what I thought was a high price. But only 15 months later it's probably worth at least 25% more.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...cons/icon9.gif

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

I've never taken a photo of a vehicle as it leaves.... so..Yeah, I'm going to miss that truck.

K20 comes home from the bodyshop soon, so that will keep my focus for a year or 3.

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Re: 1969 Chevrolet C20 60K Original Miles/Original Paint
 

Yep...........that's one beautiful truck!!!
