I need advice quick on this truck, It is a 1969 Chevy C-10 (1/2 ton), long bed, 350 (new cam), 4spd. Paint is orange with blue flames, painted about a year ago, some chips. The price is $2,000.
ok Here is what I know
Engine-350 4barrel, hotter cam
Radio-Aftermarket CD player
PS/PB-DOES NOT HAVE
Wheels/tires-Good tires, lowered some
Rust-very minimal, if any
Wrecked?-NEVER
Glass-Front is cracked, rest is good
Bed-Started to rot, previous owners put plywood and a cheaper taneau cover over it
Exhaust-Open headers :biggrin:
Have been told it is a beautiful truck, I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS WORTH BUYING...
PROBLEMS
NO-speedo (unhooked probably), Tach, or NO SECOND GEAR.
-Thanks in advance

I personally would not buy it for the following reasons:
bigger cam - unless they rebuilt the engine also, it is just putting extra stress on worn parts.
bed rotted - the frame is probably in similar condition, if not already, the rust will spread
no second gear - if one gear doesn't work, the others may not be far behind
