OT - 66 C-10 Pickup

That's a good looking truck

nice looking truck. but looks overpriced for what it is.

Short bed fleet side is the way to go as far as retaining value, though. I personally like the next chevy body style, after this or the older fords

but damn, 25k?

Its steep, unless there is something hidden, Im not seeing

Not original but here is a 57' for 25k,

I'm sure he would entertain any reasonable offers. It feels like a reluctant sell, so that could be the reason for the high listing (weeds out the non-serious lookers).

Hindsight is 20/20, right? I can't imagine all the teens and 20 year olds of the 60-70s who'd KILL to have their old beasts back if not for memory's sake then for their wallets.

Kinda funny, these people all owned these old trucks or muscle cars when young and now they are shelling out a helluva lot more to get them back. And truth be told I wasn't alive back then but I don't blame them one bit. One day my dream is to get filthy rich and get a truck or car from that era. I dream high, though, like 60's Charger, '64 GTO, '72 Chevelle or one of these trucks. Ignore the, like, $50-70k disparity in those vehicles

That makes sense. I bet that'd be hard to part with cause it looks from at least those pics to be a nice truck that's been well taken care of.

My dad bought me a '73 nova when I was in HS and I was mad as frick All my buddies had Jeeps and trucks

It never occured to me at the time that he wanted to work on it together. He sold it about 6 mo later and the bought me a Jetta

I may have a picture mine somewhere if I find it will post. It was the baby blue custom deluxe with the OEM 283 option. I had an eight track in later with the cassette converter. You could put two kegs in the back 8 girls with lounge chairs and drive it in the middle of the creek set the speakers out on the top and get down charlie brown.

I hit a 4 point buck one time coming back from lake Buckhorn and it didn't even dent the bumper.

That is one beautiful truck.

A few more details from the owner:

1. The radio is a reproduction unit designed to closely replicate some of the look of the original truck, especially the knobs. The company that produces the unit is called RetroSound. Functionwise, it has AM/FM and an IPod hookup which also comes with a remote control unit in case someone is too lazy to reach over and push some buttons.

2. When I purchased the trucks years ago, the owner indicated that the small block Chevy engine had approximately 15,000 miles on it (it was replacing the original inline 6 cylinder unit). I have only added 3,000 miles since then.

3. Previous owner also installed an auxiliary cooling fan unit to reduce engine compartment heating.
