Hello all, Im new here. Im in upstate NY. I picked up a 1981 C10 6cly 2wd 3 speed on the colum, short bed reguler body. This truck has just over 50,000 original miles. Body is real nice, a little surface rust, no dings or dents. The inside is mint. The truck is all original. I got it from a old farmer who gace up driving due to his age. And no, I did not take advantage. Im not sure why I bought this. But, Id like to find out if theres any real value or a market for it. I'll tell ya, this puppy runs so smooth, you can even hear it running. Any help would be appreciated.
welcome....not sure how to answer this except do some research and if its as good as condiation as you say then it should be worth a good amount. try this site "kellybluebook.com" but, remember they are only going by what the book tells them. take pics and do some looking around.
I wouldn't go by kbb for our trucks, it really depends on if its what someone wants and what they're willing to pay for it. I have seen people on ebay trying to get $30k for a "mint condition" 25 year old truck. Look around your area for similar trucks to compare it to. Plenty of people like lowered shortbeds, although I don't think the I6 as desirable as a V8. If rust is an issue in your area, then a rust free truck might look pretty good.
