Whats it worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am just curious what you guys think this is worth? The asking price seems high to me?

I always say it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay, but I wouldn't pay that much for it.

Yeah, it seems high to me too. But some good things, in my opinion, are that it looks very original. I'd rather have something original and unmolested than something that looks better, but isn't fixed right and will be a problem in a few years. We all know that most of these trucks are rusted. People that quick fix them to sell 'em for more than they're worth, ought to have their genitalia removed and sold for the proper parts these trucks deserve. The great thing is that you can fix the rusty parts and it'll last another 45 years or more. So, with all that, an honest starting point should be worth something, not 10 grand, but how low could you get a truck like that?

Seems high to me for what it is. Looks like a lot of rust... Can I see through the top of the windshield frame?? Sounds like a salesman's pitch the way it is worded.
Nice that it is all there and fairly original yet.

From the looks of it you have to replace damn near everything. I would not go over 3500.

x2.

When I bought mine, it wasn't in much worse shape than this one, and I paid $3100. It also ran good.
