I would say about 1/4 to 1/3 the value of a comparable condition 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton.

I have 49 Studebaker farm truck. I put an engine and trans from a 72 Chevy C50 grain truck that was being parted out. The dump bed still works, even though I could not find a PTO for the right side of my NP trans. The one on the left side wouldn't work because the gas tank was in the way. I converted to electric over hydraulic.

My truck is a bit unusual because it honestly has zero rust..... even the cab corners. It sat inside a barn in the high desert in SD for decades. It is far from pristine.

I only paid $2300 for it. Tires were all dry rotted, but held air. The engine had a slight knock. The head developed a crack. Even though a new head was cheap (its a flat head, so no valves or other moving parts) the decision to go with Chevy power train was an easy one for me.
