One thing is that you can check the local craigslist for used 20/30 year old work/go to the dump trucks and see what the average price for decent driver quality trucks is and figure that the 51 probably fits right in that average pricewise.

Here locally and I don't know the condition:
http://yakima.craigslist.org/cto/4379358146.html

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/4355514343.html

The first one is a total project but has some good pieces and the second one is a driver that needs paint but appears to have a decent engine. It is a longbed which knocks the price down about 25% though.
Appreciate the help. I'd like to get the truck from under 5...but the guy already told me a story about how a woman "offered 10k". I'm thinking he's doing that to get big numbers in my head. We'll see how we it goes.
