Appraisals are a very subjective topic, and subject to much interpretation. "Arm-chair Appraising" is a easy-to-do task that generally has no validity. What is this appraisal you're requesting intended to do? Is it to satisfy a legal issue, --or to set a replacement value, ...or to determine a selling price?

Brent is right you can find someone to give you an appraisal price for any amount you need depending on the backround of the appraiser.

We have a guy here that is heavy into restoring all types of cars and he does appraisals. Remember when it comes to appraisals they don't always match selling prices.

Brent asked the most important question, what is the apraisal intended to do? If you are trying to settle an estate the "Old Cars Price Guide" will provide a low cost (the price of the magazine) quick answer and a piece of paper you can use to back it up. A formal professional apraisal could cost a couple of hunderd dollars.

If you are looking for current market trends on any Model A, look at the MAFCA web site in the classified section under services. Rick Black, long time model A'er has compiled information in a data base of cars sold/not sold and offers an electronic report for a small fee. I think 10 bucks, the data base includes info of like 11 thousand model A's offered for sale over the years. I think there is a link to a sample report. Rick is currently the MAFCA Web master amongst other things, great guy

You can track "SELLING" prices on similar cars or trucks on ebay and get a general idea what its worth. Note that I say "SELLING" price not listed price.

I guess there is no real way to determine a value of these old vehicles. That looks more like a personel preference thing. The variables in play seem endless of course. Looks like a culmination of the 3 mentioned above should give me an idea as to insurance purposes at the least. The truck is original, unrestored, unmolested, great (driver vehicle) without any serious issues. Stake body with all original metal stakes and wood in place. Original motor that does'nt burn oil or smoke at all. I guess i'll leave it that way.
Thanks.
