Wished I would have bought it from you. It wouldn't be on BAT for sure.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I wish you had too. I would be very happy in general if she wound up with a board member.

Up to 50K with plenty of time left

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

At $53,500 with 2.5 hours to go.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Sold for $61,000.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Now that the truck has sold...and I wish the seller and buyer all the best...there are just a couple of things I wanted to briefly say in this build thread. There was a little too much hype in the run down and comments section(in the BAT ad) about the truck for my taste. For example, there aren't a "ton" of NOS parts in this build...just look at this thread. If there was one, I pointed it out. Plenty of builds on here with more. And I didn't represent it otherwise when I sold it. More importantly, Eric (OldYellow) deserves a lion share of the credit for the K10 and the Blazer build.

The pics were awesome and it is what you see...but no more. I was glad when the build link was posted in the comments, I always try to post the truth about the build...even when it hurts. That's all.

Another chapter closed. Now on to the next!

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I'm definitely waiting for the next!

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I guess the BAT deal didn't go through.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I bid on it just now for giggles. I was out bid immediately, as expected.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I think it is a fraudulent EBAY listing.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

That makes sense...gosh, whole thing is crazy.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

The EBAY seller told me wire transfer only for payment and he would ship the truck to me.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Ruh roh! Only transactions as a buyer. Sounds legitimately illegitimate to me!

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Glad I'm now outbid :)

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

No worries on your end either way, unfortunately (for both sides, occasionally) vehicle and land bids are not legally binding for either party.

I lost a deal on a motorcycle after I went through the "buy-it-now" process only for the dealership to call me the next day and say (very poorly paraphrased) "too bad, we're selling it to someone who's in the dealership right now."

Looked into it and sure enough, in ebay's terms (and apparently due to varying laws state-to-state) they can't (or won't) make vehicle or land auctions legally binding the way all other auctions are.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

This. The rally's look great, can't go wrong with that ride, it's black for starts. To me the original wheels & caps on that truck makes a BIG difference.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

It's blue....super dark though it may be.

I know that this truck did not have this wheel/cap option available from the factory, but it is my favorite of the era. And yep, I got a set of 8 lug skinnies sitting in the basement just itching to cut some grooves under the K20.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Think I mentioned I was color/shade blind. Nothing remarkable, some guys are off the charts;)

That's a beautiful blue. Those are 71-72 caps if I remember right. Seems I threw my old caps away:waah: but they weren't usable. I have an NOS set of stainless & the old wheels. Maybe someday, but running with rallys first. I think those old caps look best with the darker colors.

She's back on the block. In case anyone wants to follow along. I will be...

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

That truck is so nice. I would have such a hard time selling that truck. I know it's more fun building it than driving it but that final result is stunning.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

The next owner will be the 6th (that I know of) since the restoration. Logged a little over 130 miles in that time.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

It would be harder to buy that truck and not use it, than it would be to sell, in my opinion.
Great work and a very nice testament to you and your brother. I will be like others, waiting on yournext project.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Love how it says custom build by hall brothers. There isn’t a single part of that truck that you could consider “custom”

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Has it sold for steadily increasing dollars for all the new owners (flippers?).

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I think so. Two of the sales are private, but I have inferred that to be the case. The last sale was to a dealer who bought it as a package from an individual who sold his entire collection.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Not sure if you have seen a youtube video of the build from pics on this thread.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

I'm actually watching it right now. I followed this thread and recognized the pictures and the truck.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

That YouTube account did the same treatment to my Blazer thread. It seems crazy that they can build and monetize a channel to the tune of 500k subscribers out of cutting and pasting other folks' work.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

They just got a dislike for that.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
 

Thanks! ;) Truck friends are the best friends.
