Buying one of these trucks just wondering if it’s a good deal or not

[Blue79]

Hi sorry if this is not the right place to put this.
I am going to look at two different trucks both 1979s one is a gmc c15 and the other is a c20 Chevy with a 74 grill both need about the same amount of work the gmc is 1600cad the Chevy is 1500cad both running but need brakes and tires and have a good bit of rust frames are solid though they would definitely be a project for me

Both look decent for the money to me. I like the Chevy better, mostly for the two tone paint and trim.

Ya I was originally thinking the gmc but that Chevy is a lot closer to me and a bit less rust I think to

Blue, if they are both physically in about the same shape, I would let my choice be highly influenced by the condition of the interior and the running gear, in that order. While motors and trans are not inexpensive, they are much more readily available than interiors. Especially if you want to go the used parts route. There are alot more engines and trans to be had in the general population than interior parts. Most of the companies selling interior parts know availability is very soft and a lot of them don't mind taking advantage (in my opinion) when you need something from them.

GMC branded replacement parts like grills and emblems are not that common and often more expensive. Both trucks will need a full rebuild so it's up to your preference. Get both and you can use what's good and dump the rest.
