I'm only be taking a wild guess without more info, but I could see between $8,500 - $12,000 (which still might be low). Others will probably say I'm crazy but these good O'l honest trucks are not as plentiful these days. More money spent on the front end for a good truck is money saved on the bad end doing major rust and metal repair.

Marc...thanks. I'll get a closer look next time I'm over there. I think the brakes are original and I'd guess the only things updated are the engine and transmission and, by updated, I mean an old V-8 and old transmission are in the place of the original in-line 6 & trans. As good as it looks, it is still a project and the older I get, the more I subscribe to your "...More money spent on the front end for a good truck is money saved on the bad end doing major rust and metal repair....". Enjoyed (and still enjoying) my never ending 1959 Big Window on a late model Trailblazer frame but don't want to take on that level of a project...at least for now. dug
