Ran into this apache and body is solid and what not but just wanted to know what's the price range on this trucks. It was raining so I couldn't take alot of pics. He said it also has a bonded title to the truck soo I'm not to sure on it

Looks like it'll need everything as it's been sitting awhile. It's woth at least $2g if it's a solid shell. Paint can be decieving though & have hidden rust. Need to check the normal rusty areas of course.

Also looks like the hood got hit hard, that could affect the cowl and hood latching, etc. Does it run? Original engine and suspension? How bad is the bed. Fresh paint is nice if the underlying rust issues on these trucks are taken care of. Good magnet and observation from the back side on cab corners and fenders/headlights will tell you a lot.

Bonded title means it did not come with a clear title and he paid for a title search and posted a bond. In most States if no one steps forward in three years you can applie for a clear title.

Risky business unless you've got money to gamble. I wouldn't do it.

Yea I don't want to take my chances or even go through the process of getting the clear title

Its a calculated risk. In Idaho to get the bonded title you would have had to do a 50 State search looking for previous title holders and would need to contact any that show up to let them know you are in possession of the vehicle. They either respond with a challenge, do not respond, or the letter comes back undelivered. If the case is no response or returned in a certain time frame the bonded title is issued. I am going thru the process on a MC I bought as a parts only bike for off road hunting at a dealer that went out of business. 30 years later I would like to sell it and not having the title is cutting the value in half.

Yea it doesn't run, original suspension and engine. Yea only reason I'm trying to buy it is for the fact it's a bbw and a shortbed fleetside which are rare to come across on nowadays.
