Maybe us West Coast guys are lucky but I think the real market is still good. The imaginary market due to TV shows though is growing so you have to make sure you are in the right market lol

Like our '57 GMC was a good buy but still needs work. If it didn't it'd be a $25-30g truck up here. We paid $8400USD. Came with a 383 with 20k on it, 3spd auto and '68 Camaro posi rear with Heidts SuperRide Coilover frontend. Brake to brake that frontend is $4gs I believe. Engine and built tranny were probably $5gs. '68 Camaro rear and totally redo of the stck frame was probably $2gs+ for labour. OK paint job but rust free for the most part 1" hole on passenger step that's it. It'll be blown apart and redone anyways. Came with Cragar SS rims so we swapped them out for some 18/20" Foose Legends and put a new carb on it. It'd been mainly sitting for 15 years after getting built so needed a bit of TLC. It was the summer time daily driver this year and will be next year after aibags and repaint. It's not perfect by any stretch for but for us and up here it was a great deal and I watch this market everyday lol

In the end don't get caught up on just one truck. There are a ton of these trucks out there getting built and sold cheap after all the hard work and expense has been dealt with.
