Re: 1961 GMC Pickup,buying advice needed
It seems to be in generally good condition. The price seems high to me, but I don't know what trucks in similar condition go for in Canada. That might be reasonable if they are extremely hard to find in decent condition. I'd be most concerned about the roof area above the windshield and how far the lower front fender rust extends. Make sure the lower kick panel area inside the cab is in good shape.
If it originally came from North Dakota, I'd be amazed if it truly isn't riddled with cancer. I've seen much newer vehicles from there that were missing large enough sections of the lower body work, to allow viewing the opposite side of the street by looking through the rusted out area of the car. Perhaps it didn't see much winter driving. Personally I would spend a lot of time under it making sure it's as good as it looks so there isn't any disappointment later.
If all seems okay, then it's a matter of how much it's worth to you. Getting something in good shape to begin with, can avoid hours and money in rust repair and add smiles in going straight to having fun.
