My new C20
« on: September 02, 2014, 07:46:28 PM »
Got a new C20, but it's a 68, looks like a two barrel havent got the engine number yet. My guess is 307 / 327. Pw steering / brakes been sitting 30+ years.
Bought new here in town and one family owned.
Got an extra hood for a 68 and 73, 68 doors and odds and ends 67-87.

Sad new the place was full of 67-87 truck parts. A fight in the family, so three 20' trailer loads of parts were sold for $650. And I bet went right to the chrusher.

I would be willing to trade the 68 for a 73-80.

     Got any pics ?  It is amazing how much 1 family can collect over the years.   :o

Going to pull it out of the barn next week and get some pics. Guy had a 75 Scotsdale, 68 C20 and his son had a 68 C20. So he had been collecting parts for a wile.
I had made an offer for everything $2,000.00.
A friend of the family was selling the stuff off for them, so the guy who got everything so cheap went to one of the members of the family. Guess they said the heck with it.
I was told he strapped down fenders so hard they were messed up. Hope the guys at the chrusher pulled any good stuff out for our trucks.
