In 2010, classic trucks were still a niche automotive market. Social media platforms such as Instagram and YouTube are another driving force behind these absurd price hikes. After all these years, the supply of cheap and clean grandpa trucks from the 1960s and 1970s has simply dried up. That’s not to say that all the Freds are dead-there are plenty of Freds still around, but many of them are simply too old to mess around with a 40-year-old pickup truck.Ī decade ago, many of these guys were entering retirement and selling off their old cars and trucks. That means that the youngest Fred could be in 2021 is 60, but he’s probably closer to 70 or 80 years old. But $6,000 was a lot of money for a kid ($21,300 today), so Fred was probably at least 30. Let’s say a man named Fred walked into a Chevy dealership in 1979 and purchased a brand new C10 for about $6,000. But these vehicles are all but gone in the 2020s and the reason why is simple. These trucks were the jackpot, as they were usually well-maintained, bone stock, and free of idiotic modifications. Up until recently, it was pretty easy to get a clean Chevy C10 squarebody or Ford dentside from the local old guy. The amount of clean one-owner classic trucks is finite, and the availability of these vehicles dwindles every year.
