Crazy square body prices.

[bucket]

6 months ago a friend of mine listed his truck on FB: '73, 8ft, 350, no front drive shaft/4wd not working, beat up inside and out and been parked for 10 years - $5000. We thought that was a highball crazy price. A guy showed up with $5000 2 hours later and trailered it away. This was in Parker county TX. In this part of Texas a clean K10 carries a $20k entrance fee. These are trucks that would struggle to see $10k just two years ago. I bought my '73 K5 in 2009 for $5500 and thought I got an ok deal. If it were in that same condition today it would be $30k. It's nuts and I hate it. I have been shopping for a clean burb or K20 crew for about a year now and everybody wants $20k for ok trucks, not nice, just ok. Sucks. I guess I need to restore both my K5's and sell them for $100k a piece or something....

P.S.: I just saw that this is only my second post in 12 years if that tells you anything about this topic lol...

Well, I guess we'll all have to wait 6 more years to see you post again? Lol. @Fixer

I'll have to agree with you folks that it is priced rather high. The good news is that you wouldn't need to do a lot for it to win the "ugly truck contest" though.
