Re: value opinions
My guide is usually the condition of the sheet metal... and completeness, overall condition of chassis.. etc. It's hard to find good original sheet metal, body or front fenders in particular... I don't mind paying a little more if the sheet metal is prime.
Looking at it the fenders look pretty decent.. hard to tell on the body but it looks pretty decent. Try finding good doors for those.. almost impossible. The back panel on pickups is key on them as both sides show... and metal finishing/required body work is key on them. If all that is good.. and you know you'll have to go through ther rest of the chassis.... I think $5,500-$6500 is a good number, and if you want it bad enough and have to step up a little more I'd just say do it. You can buy a lot of drivers for twice that with running engines and bodies done/serviceable. So you have to weigh all that with your efforts and parts/restoration expense going forward.
Best of luck!
