'55-'59 prices?
Hi guys, pretty new member here, but not new to the '55-59 trucks, but...
I'm looking to sell my '59 1/2 ton, I put a 55/56 frontend sheetmetal on it (sorry, never liked dual headlights), but am curious as to what these trucks are selling for. I took a look at NADA and I just can't see they're worth what the guide says. Is EBAY a realistic guide for what guys are setting reserves at? Or is there another place beside EBAY and NADA to look at? I'm not trying to get top dollar or anything, but don't want to find out I should have asked another 2K...know what I mean? FWIW, it's a '59 3100(with 55/56 front end) in primer (body expectionally good ), rebuilt Dana44 3.54 posi, new wheel cylinders, new brake lines, rebuilt m/c, recored radiator, new shocks, big back window cab. 1/2 ton, Stepside Only real downside to the truck is it's a 6cyl (235 which runs like new) and 4spd granny. I'm not trying to push a sale here, but get an idea of where I should start pricing it this summer at the swap meets. I got involved in this truck many years ago and had grand ideas of taking it further (lowering, V8, AOD, etc), but have decided to concentrate on my '57 instead (dad bought it new and just retired last month, so thought I'd throw my effort into rekindling his youth) Thanks |
