Pricing a 1967 shortbed truck

[landarts]

Back in March I saw an add on Craigslist for some 67-72 Chevy truck parts for sale. There was no price but there were a few pictures and I could tell he had a few fenders and I was looking for one at the time. I texted the seller since that was the mode they preferred. Said I was interested in the parts and could be by right after work if that was good with him. He responded back so after work I grabbed some cash from the ATM and headed over to his house which was on my daily path back home. A young guy in his early thirties said go around the back and I will meet you by the garage. When he open the garage there were a bunch of parts on a rack, in boxes kind of over flowing and some on the floor. Before I could really ask any questions he said I would like to get $200 for all the parts if you think that is fair. I said sure if that will make you happy then I was good with that. I loaded up all the parts except for the stuff in the boxes, he said he was saving that for the build he had been doing over a ten year period and might need a few items.

So I said where is the truck as I did not see it in the garage. He stated it was on the other side of the garage outside under a covered patio. We went outside and he showed me his 1967 C10 original short bed. I said wow that is a cool truck and it would be a really nice truck when you get it done. He said that he used to be really into working on it and had just lost interest over the last few years but was hoping to get it done someday. We chatted for a bit and I said if you need some help or get stuck on the project with something give me a call and I might be able to help with getting it done.

Well that was nine months ago, and today I got a text from saying that he was ready to sell the rest of the parts and the truck. He also said he felt like he wanted to give me first shot since I seemed so interested in the rest of the parts and the truck when I bought the first batch of parts. So I was really surprised that he reached out and I am going in the morning to for sure purchase the rest of the parts stash and talk about buying truck.

I will report back and take a boat load of pictures in the morning. Then only area I am not sure of is what kind of pricing is fair for an original 1967 short bed truck that has not been chopped down from a long bed. All I have bought in the last 20 years are long beds that were,( C10's, C20's, K10's, and K20's. Never actually had the opportunity to buy a short bed truck.
