Re: think im picking this up on saturday....

There are still a few around that haven't been lowered.

It's very hard to guess at an accurate price without knowing a great many details about the truck. The most important consideration is rust, or more specifically lack of rust. Rust repair is normally the most expensive part of restoration, especially if you can't do it all yourself. Mechanical improvements are easy by comparison.

If you can check without annoying the current owner, take a vinyl refrigerator magnet and check for bondo in the lower rear of the fenders, bottom corners of the doors, rear cab corners and rockers. Also check the floors for rust or holes. These are frequently found on the floor along the rockers and near the bottom of the side vents.

Good luck, and welcome to the forum!
