I just re-read your post and saw your looking at buying it... I still say around the $1,000 mark is a safe start, but obviously if you can get it for less that's better. How bad is the rust?

I paid a $1,050 for my '69 C-30 running and with a dump body.. But it needed a TON of work... Bought a '70 parts truck for $400 that was complete, and had pretty much no rust on the body panels (cab and frame themselves were a little different).

If you buy it and worse comes to worse, you can always get at least $1,000 to $1,500 parting it out. Between the sheet metal, engine (even just selling it as a rebuildable motor, and it's probably a 4 bolt main if it's original), trans, rear-end, interior, etc, etc. I'd feel safe at $1,500 but that'd be it..
