Looks like a Super Custom. A/C? It would be a 402 if original. I see a $1,000 parts truck/project at best. What's that black wheel there? BTW, there's a WIW message board here

thanks, sorry bout the wrong spot

Buying or selling? If I was buying that I agree with Tim, probably $1,000, hopefully cheaper.
Selling I would try to find a box for it, get it running enough to move in the driveway, and ask $2,000.
One picture is super hard to judge though. And I don't know what rust in the usual places means in LA.

posted a couple more pics in the WIW thread.......buying.........cab corners and rockers on drivers side could use replacement, holes in corner about an egg size rockers could be saved......guys drove it from his back yard to the driveway this afternoon.....

I'm at 1500 right now

there are some prime parts there or it's a great candidate for restoration. $1,500 isn't awful, but less would be better. at least try for $1,200. One thing to consider is you can't run down the street and find many others this cheap yet. The cost you have to look at is what it needs once you own it. What you pay is just the down payment. Prices aren't going down n these trucks, so it's a matter f you deciding how bad you want this particular truck. It's better than run-of-the-mill for a C/20 with 402,A/C,etc

Looks like a very fair deal to me for $1500. Just be real careful on the rust. If you could pay $1500 more for a truck that didn't need tons of metal work???
Still looks like someone need to save it. Might as well be you.

^^^ that's what I was going to say, but didn't want to bring all the "I could buy a whole truck for that" ogres out of their caves

CST10 · 03-31-2015, 09:27 PM

I think you did pretty good. Like someone said the box is worth what you paid for it.
