I'll just say, it's a lot easier to buy one of these trucks than to sell it.
I recently sold my 71 LB truck that was in similar condition. It was not quite as nice and it had a GMC title (but had the chevy front clip and tailgate). Had nice paint all around but had some bubbles on the inside bottom of doors. Interior was nice. I listed it for $20k and got no response. Took it to a large car show with a for sale sign on it (2500-3000 cars). Two dealers stopped and offered $14,500. A couple of other people acted really interested at $18k but never showed up with any cash. Ended up taking $16,500 a couple of weeks later.
All in I think my truck was probably worth 2k-2.5k less than yours. I hope you get more, but I think $20k is a good price.
It sounds like you are not sure about selling. I my mind that means don't sell it. If I had the room and the money I would keep all my old vehicles. I "had" to sell one of my classics due to driveway space (and of course a wife). Otherwise, I would still have it.
