One Owner 1968 GMC 2500 Series Custom Valuation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Recently, my barn collapsed upon the 1968 GMC 2500 Series Custom that my father bought new upon his retirement from GM Truck & Coach in 1968. I have investigated having it repaired but decided to sell it instead and need advice as to valuation.
The truck has damage to the cab roof, hood and both front fenders. I have tried to attach photos but have been unable to do so. It is in good mechanical condition and runs and drives. It is equipped with a turbo 400, and 4.10 positraction axle. It currently has a 1980 3500 series four bolt 350 engine with about 35K miles and the original 327 engine with quadrajet is included. It has working factory air, and the optional buddy seat. The interior is original and in good condition aside from the recent damage. It is in very good mechanical condition and everything works. Mileage is 134K but nearly everything mechanical has been rebuilt within the last 10K miles.
I have the original owners manual, warranty plate, GM service manual and GM parts manual with the truck. The original split rims with very good 7.50x16 tires and wheel covers are included as are new aluminum rims and new tires with less than 50 miles.
Any advice as to value will be appreciated before I advertise it or try the ebay route.
Thanks in advance.
SDean

It is really hard to give you any valuable help without a photo of the vehicle and the damage. Try using a photo hosting service such as Webshots, Photobucket, etc..
