Patina Trucks What Should We Pay? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I paid $500 for Cecilia a year ago, but I pestered the old guy that had her forever before he let her go. He was very particular that she go to someone that wouldn't take a chainsaw to her and appreciated her for what she was. Fine old detroit steel.

I can't say it's always good to let them know you love these old trucks, but in my case it worked out great. If an old timer owns it they might appreciate that.

EDIT: Just read that you're chopping it up. Just get an old truck with some rust on it and get to cutting. No sense in tearing up a good truck especially if they're rare in your area. You'll save money since you're changing it anyway.

I paid $300.00 each for these. I got a bargain though. They were worth twice what I paid. The blue one just had rust through in the front fenders. complete std trim truck. The gold one needs floor and rocker repair. No engine or trans in it. Custom options truck. My neighbor paid $2000.00 for a running, driving, 350, SWB, BBW truck a few years ago. He won't sell it to me for $2500.00 though.

Traded a wood airplane prop for Krusty and 150 for delivery from Arkansas. She was a mess and a huge smoker. Pulled the tired 230 and replaced it with a fresh 292. Made her a daily driver. The day she came home and as she is now.

ChrisDollins · 01-21-2014, 08:53 AM

I gave $2500 for mine from my mom. I paid her property tax for the truck, it was my Papa's. Running driving 250 with no rust. Here's a couple pics of when I bought it and recent. Sometimes wish I would have left the patina, but I do like to wash and wax though lol.

Very nice^^^

Mater/10 · 01-21-2014, 11:29 AM

I picked christine up for 950 running and driving V8,auto,A/c, BBW all she needed was Brakes and a few wiring adjustments! but since ive gotten her i have installed a 6 lug 3.08 in the rear and done the brakes

theastronaut · 01-21-2014, 01:14 PM

Paid $2k for this one, needed a FULL

brake job, carb rebuild, and cleaning/replacing everything in the fuel system. All Custom options, BBW, gauges, 250/3speed. Pretty much unmolested. Has rust in the fenders, hood, and edges of the floor/kick panels. Rockers are mostly solid (some rust on the top lip) and cab corners are good. Has a steel plate in the bed floor, needs to be taken out and replaced with wood.

As found:

After some cleaning, painting the wheels, and dropping it a few inches.

I paid $300 for this and drove it home. Basic truck, straight 6, three on the tree. I've since done a bit of brake work, new fuel system, new clutch, and some other cosmetic changes. I've been driving it daily and getting a lot of thumbs up! The day I bought it and currently.

That's a fantastic deal.

Coursey · 04-09-2014, 05:06 PM

This is a 1964 BBW.

Has a few runs in paint, some rust bubbles in door corners.
Needs trim, carpet, and bed floor.

Haven't heard run, told just needs battery.

What's it worth? They are asking $8,500.

firemanjimtfd · 04-09-2014, 06:19 PM

Not worth that much. Look very close at rust areas like floor, rockers under truck and back side of front fenders. Looks like they bonded and painted over a lot of bad spots. What motor is in it and is the trim missing. When did it last run and drive. Good title ?

Thanks bro! It got a new carb today so it'll be on the road soon! Just gotta adjust and bleed the brakes.

I paid 400$ for this 62 gmc big back window. Got home and got gas to the motor and it runs. Still a working progress but lowered with new wheels and tires and running.
