I'm not sure if this will get moved or not, but i wanted as much feedback as i could get before saturday. Sorry Mod's.
What would this unit be worth. Thanks
Bed is straight but needs front panel. Comes with extra parts.
1958 no motor or trans.

This is probably the best place for exposure on these trucks.
Sorry I don't have much to offer for 58's. But, my suggestion would be to check completed items on eBay. That's what I always do. Scan other 58's and 59's to see the ones that sold, not the ones that had unrealistic starting bids and didn't sell.
Someone told me a long time ago, and I still believe it; "doesn't matter if it's real estate, cars, or baseball cards, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it."

Theres about 500-1k in parts there. If your looking to biuld a 58, buy the best core that you can, it's the 15-20k in part to rebiuld it that starts to taste of the keg.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I did a search on Atlanta CL and found THIS. I also checked oldrides.com, but nothing came up for a 1958 truck. Looks like someone sprayed undercoating on the floor trying to cover the obvious. If I had to throw a number up with what I know from the pics it wold be in the 1000-1500 range. That is an uneducated guess. Good luck!!

Just from the photos it appears like there is rust in the cab corners, floor boards, lower hinge pockets, steps, maybe the eyebrows. I would also check the sills, lower rear of front fenders, curved piece behind the grille ends, cab eye brow, door bottoms and stake pockets. There are a number of threads on here that show the work involved in fixing those areas.

My next project will cost me 3K more but will be rust free, I am getting tired of spending all summer on major body work and not doing the mechanical stuff I really like. It all comes down to what you can and want to tackle, there are guys here gleefully replacing everything from the mid-line down because that is what they like to do. Check it out carefully.
