How much is this worth
 

I am looking into buying this 58 apache and i would like an idea of how much it's worth.

Re: How much is this worth
 

Well, it's worth whatever you are willing to pay for it. Give us a hint, what are they asking?

Re: How much is this worth
 

They are asking 2200 and i would like it for 1700.

I'm not sure I'd look at a truck that rusted out as anything but a parts truck but living in Central Washington state I'm rather spoiled when it comes to looking for project trucks.
I sold a 57 GMC 3/4 ton big window with all the chrome good and the same amount of rust in the body for 300 about three years ago. Clear title with a 283 and aluminum powerglide in it.

Not a Chevy but still a pre 60 truck in about the same shape http://yakima.craigslist.org/cto/3125201677.html

Being on the east coast where rust is expected 1700 may be a fair price for that truck if it is fair to you. No matter what you pay you have to feel that you paid a fair price an you can't really get carried away with what prices are in other parts of the country.

Ya, price is what you feel happy with, I have 2 simular to pick from here both with newer v8 3spd autos in the $600-$1,000 range and solid, depends where you live and availability too, looks alright though, espec for $1,700 not $2,200.

I'd offer $1200 and negotiate up to $1500 if necessary, assuming the underside is in the same condition as the rest of the truck. But as others say, it's really whatever you're comfortable with...

the original poster is from the land of salt, unless he is prepared to travel out west that is all that is available in salt country.
and it's not bad, but if you are looking at doing a full restore it might be worth the trip.
that said, do like johnny says. you can always go higher

Re: How much is this worth
 

I agree with 12 and no higher than 15.
I paid 22 for this and they delivered it 400 miles

A lot of what id be willing to pay for a truck like that would be dependant on the end result i wanted. For example if a patina truck is what your after (i.e. Scrub it down with some CLR and leave the paint mostly as is) with whitewalls and a lowered stance, this truck may work for you. If you want a slick low slung street rod thats a long term project you may want to pass on this one as getting this one to that point would be a handfull.
And as others suggested you may want to consider looking in others areas that have a lot of "less rusty trucks" ( i dislike the term rust-free as they all have some)
Theres a swb fleet for sale on CL where I live ( Kennewick Wa.) that looks to be in great shape and runs. I think it was around 2K IIRC.
theres also a 58 with camaro clip on it with semi decent paint for 5k. These trucks dont sell well around here for some reason. Not any where near the 67-72 c-10s are at.
I recenly went to montana and picked up a 55 wagon it cost me some money to go get it but the price was right.
If your budget is limited I would save some cash and get something id be happy with even if it meant getting it shipped.
There is a 59 suburban and a 63 wagon out there somwhere that handed me my butt because they were "really good deals" LOL
