Re: How much would you pay?

You have to figure the repaired cab is good for $1,500... labor whether doing yourself or paying, it is on a rolling chassis, Only needs minor body work (small dents), and has decent interior. No engine is a good thing, keeps your cost down. Obviously not a truck you expect to take to work next week. So many toss good running motor/trans for LS swap, Many have a running engine in the shop on mothballs, or you buy a piece of crap donor car, truck, whatever.

Look at what is there, what is left to do to get it to various stages of various value. I'd say $3,000- $3,500, but $2,500 would be great. Running and driving would get it to $4,500- $5,000, $4,000 would be great... which means good tires. Looking decent, cool wheels/tires, presentable... $6,000- $7,000. It's a '68 Short bed in good shape!

Yes, you have to take into account where each member is coming from... prices vary area to area. And a lot depends on the general appearance and quality of work. You can take these estimates, look at where they came from, and compare to your area. In some areas the truck will bring a whole lot more, if that's where you lived. In those areas people will pay that much more, due to location, availability, and transportation/import costs.
