68 CST with buckets.. whats it worth? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What's wrong with people trying to make a good deal? There is a lot of knowledge on this board and it amazes me how much people can pick out about a truck by just looking at a picture. No one is ripping on the truck, they are just noting things that aren't what would be found on a factory CST. And like I said before, I live in the area the truck is for sale and 7500 is a rip off. I've seen NICER and BETTER trucks, CST's and Cheyennes go anywhere from 2500-5000. 7500 is way too high, and I say cudos (sp?) to anyone who can spot the tiniest of differences from a picture! good job y'all! I hate to say it, but most of our trucks, as much as we love them, aren't worth much. My 67 has a crate engine, 700R4, power disks and a straight, fairly rust free body and I'd be lucky, in the area I live, to get more than $2,500 out of it.

I think 67ChevyRedneck summed it up. I see trucks around here that are "original" but require a good bit of work. The owner assumes that since it is "original" its going to bring a much higher price and that people will overlook the obvious problems. Uneducated owners often look at ebay or other sometimes inflated sources for estimates of what a truck will bring. Unfortunatly, for the rest of us, some people will pay those prices....

OMG the oil filler tube is the wrong color and that tie wrap holding the spark plug wires to the brake line is not original either!

$500 tops!

J/K - I'd love to see this truck in person to really check it out. If it was a similarly equipped Long Fleet I'd say $3000-$4000. Add another $1000 for it being a short wide.

The thing is,I don`t see alot of money in this truck as it sits.The money is yet to be spent.It`s a nice driver,but $7500?Way off.Restore it?Bodywork,trim,paint...Why should this guy make all the money when the one that invests in a restoration will never get close to what he has spent.No A/C,a couple options,a nice survivor,not worth that much.Not knockin`the truck,maybe the seller.I always say,"too bad I didn`t find it before he did".
