47-59 Today's value?? ...1956 Chevy SWB Step Small Back Window

[dug224]

The fun stuff keeps finding its way to me. Since I am out of touch on current values, request input on what would be a fair price to offer the owner for his 1956 SWB Stepside Small Window. Was helping a friend move some equipment to his parking area and noticed this truck on an adjacent property. Don't need the project but decided I would attempt to buy mainly because it is a southern California truck that is now in the south and has been sitting outside in a field for the last couple of years. Rusting at all the usual spots including door bottom fenders at the step sides. It appears to be bone stock with exception of the engine and trans. Engine is said to be a 289 out of an old Corvette. He says it runs and drives. I only managed to take the one photograph. He said it spent its life on a Navy base so I suspect the overall use of the truck has been low. Thx. dug
