$2500-$3500 Depending on how it runs, stops, mechanical stuff. If it were straight, no dents / minor stuff I might pay a little more but .. I think $3500 or so would be my top.

Hope this helps, just my opinion.

Nice original truck, but needs a lot of work. All of those things you mentioned start to add up on cost, so as is, I would estimate closer to 2500, tops.

Trucks in original condition like that are few and far between. I would not feel bad about paying $3,500 for that truck.

Re: Wiw - 68 swb gmc

start low!!! i would throw out $1800 and see what he says. i think everyone is in the right range $2500-$3500. even at $4500 you wouldn't be getting ripped off if it's what you wanted. what a great find.
