Why we picked it

Why we picked it: 1967-72 K10 4x4s have climbed hard, and driver-quality trucks now regularly sell in the $21,000 to $39,000 range. This one is a Cheyenne, the top trim, with a 350 V8 and an automatic, and the seller says it runs and drives very strong. At $19,995 it sits well under what comparable driver trucks have been bringing.

The seller is upfront that there is rust on the passenger-side rocker and some bubbling on a door, and says the rest is rust-free. That makes it a good base for a driver you improve over time, or a solid start for a restomod build where the cab and bed get attention anyway.

The value check

The seller is asking $19,995. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $16,750–$38,500, so the middle of the market is about $27,625. That put this car 28% under.

Driver-grade 1969-72 K10 4x4s sold from $16,750 to $38,500 at BaT, Barrett-Jackson and others in 2026; most landed between $21,000 and $39,000. At $19,995 this Cheyenne is about 28% under the $27,625 midpoint.

Where the numbers come from:

What to check

  • The listing shows an internal stock code (AMS49187) instead of a real VIN; get the full VIN and confirm it matches the title before going further
  • The original SPID label is missing, so the Cheyenne trim, engine and options can't be verified from paperwork
  • Check the rocker, cab corners, floors, door bottoms and the bed floor and wheel arches closely; 67-72 trucks rust in all those places
  • The truck is at a client's home, not the dealer's lot; arrange an in-person look or a paid inspection, and confirm title and as-is terms
  • Bed length isn't stated; confirm short or long bed, as short beds sell for more

Making it drive like new

A 67-72 K10 takes well to a front disc brake conversion, a modern 4L60E or 4L65E overdrive automatic, and an EFI system on the 350. Add a dual-circuit master cylinder, 3-point belts, and an aftermarket A/C kit, and leave the factory 4x4 hardware in place so the truck stays useful.

4 builders make a complete chassis for the 1967–72 K10 4x4 pickup. Compare them side by side, along with what it takes to stiffen the factory frame.
