alright well i got this old gentleman jim truck from my buddy and it needs a little work but what chevy doesnt. i was wondering since they are kinda rare would it be worth more money to restore it to factory specs? or are they worth the same as a regular chevy?

Any rare special edition is likely to bring in a bit more money

Those GMC trucks are very nice ones to daily drive becuase of all of the extras they come with

Would be worth more to some, but most would rather spend thier money on a good straight truck, no matter what badge is on it. All the creature comforts will bring an extra $200-300. Other than the fact that it would be cool to have a factory GentleJim, I don't see the point of going back to factory if your going to turn around and sell it. You could spend $10,000 to get it to factory and get $9,000 back out of it..
