Is this truck worth $2200?

[thirdstreettito]

$1200 tops. Just sell the ATV and you'll have some money.

[chas350]

How can anyone throw out numbers without knowing the condition of cab/frame/drive train? did I miss something?

[R.L.]

IMO the truck is worth more than the atv, the atv will lose it's value fast in time the truck will gain in value just sitting in storage.

[oldblue1968chevy]

alritey....ima just tell him that i cant trade strait up for the ATV for the truck..

im in middle tn

thanks

[special-K]

If you get a title,running/driving,body included,and it`s a shortbed I`d say a coupla thou ain`t so bad.You could have a decent/driving truck for under $3,000.
Just curious what your age/money has to do with it.Am I missing something?

[oldblue1968chevy]

16.5 lol dont have alot of money to throw at 2 of these trucks lol its running and driving he said he could drive it to my hoseu for me to look at it...

i just asked him if hes gotta clear titiel..mite look at it, i asked if he'd thorw any parts in with it..

[Cunit69]

I don't think that is to bad, if it runs and drives, as long as the rust is just limited to the rockers. I don't know where these other people are buying running and driving swb's for $500 to $1000, but I need to go there. Try to get some cash out of him and call it a deal. That 4-wheeler is losing value everyday.

[oldblue1968chevy]

so if i can trade 4wheeler, for truck and 300$

does that sound ok,

?could i always resale the truck and get wat i got in it back out?

[oldblue1968chevy]

and i was talkin tohim he said the rockers were either replaced,or needed to be replaced..

[Cunit69]

The rockers in the pic look rusted out. Rockers are cheap as long as all the cab supports look good and the rust is just limmited to the lower cab, I say go for it, just look it over real good. I would start at $500 cash you can always go down , but you can't go up once you name a price. A straight short wide is hard to find and getting harder everyday. Good luck

[oldblue1968chevy]

the cab supports, what exactly are those....the sides of the windshields, or like above the cab corners..

and the 70,xxx ,,miles, do yall think those're original miles, or has the odometer rolled over lol

[rambler]

I would bet the odometer is rolled over. what type of engine does it have? running and running good are two different things.. have him put the door back on.. drive it and see what you think,, look underneath for body rot. look up by the sun visors for rust through... which would you use more today? I would agree, ask for cash and trade... but it does look pretty good, but we are only looking at a few pics here, ultimatley its your choice.. make sure it has a clear title... and the correct vin numbers...

let us know what you decide.

[special-K]

The cab supports are the four(2 on each side.One front/one back) boxed members that come out from between the frame and cab out to where the rockers are.They are welded to the bottom of the cab as floor supports.Some call them outriggers,unofficially.They aren`t a big deal,either.If the rot is in the floor it`s attached to,then it gets into a bigger job.

[nds1968]

There is no way to give a price without looking at the truck in person. Pics usually makes it look better. Take a look at the truck with someone else who likes old vehicles, they may see something you missed. Crawl under, over and inside every nook and cranny so you now what you are getting yourself into. Then you need to decide if it's going to be a parts truck or are you going to keep it on the road. Take a look through parts catalogs and talk to body shops if you can't do the work your self to help you decide on the price.

[BP68]

Depending on how much rust/bondo it has. If it is not rotted out in any hard to fix areas, and most all of the sheetmetal is usable, plus it runs and drives, I would say arond 2,000 sound right. But like others have said, it is hard to say without seeing in person.

I feel that if it looks as decent in the pics as it is in person and it actually runs/drives/stops $2,200 is a good deal. I must be an idiot because I paid $1,400 for my mostly rust free 67 back in 1996. If that truck was for sale in southwest NY, assuming it ran and had a door, it would have $4-5K in the window. I've actually seen some pretty rusty trucks in TN, and that one appears to be pretty nice.

The guy might be a board member as well, or at least he has good taste in trucks. Check out the background of the pics. There's a green 71-72 with the hood up, then a blue 67-72 (too blurry to tell) up by the house. Either this guy knows his stuff and this truck was a runner, or he may have used it as a parts truck and slapped it back together to sell it.

Good luck to ya. Be careful about having more projects than money.

Last time I replied to a WIW from someone with a pink name I got in trouble, but since everyone else is doing it I would say you could get more for your money elsewhere, just keep your eyes open.

It isnt his truck so it isnt against the rules. I learned that the other day.

[kcjones]

Just my humble opinion: The truck is worth $2,200 in the hands of someone who will turn it into a project. For someone who wants to drive it everyday, then you should be more careful, make sure the floor isn't a disaster (pull up the carpet if you can!), see how the brakes are, ask him if he ever drove it, when it last had a coolant/trans fluid change, stuff like that.

I'd definitely pay $2,200 for this to tear it down and turn it into something special, but I wouldn't pay $2,200 if I needed a truck to drive and it needed $1,500 of work just drive it safely.

2 projects for someone with little money might be too much. It'd be too much for me because I spend all my money on my kids and wife!

[killacheyenne]

its not worth 2200

[LUV2XCLR8]

Walk away, if you haven't already

[oldblue1968chevy]

well, i just talked to him ima meet him in town somewhere, he said he can drive the truck around, he'd drive it to meet me in, but the doors off, something about his brother in law is having it welded? but he said he could thorw in a couple hundred if i decided to trade...

[oldblue1968chevy]

it has a 350 motor, auto trans, he said its got some bondo on the bed someplace i dont remember where

ive already gota fairly good running driving truck (the 68) with a rebuilt motor less than 500 miles ago..

so this would be a real project..maybe swap a few things off this truck onto the blue truck ( the wheels ) now some of yall say walk away, some say yeah its good go for it..

whats some stuff i should ask the guy?

whens the last time fluilds wehre changed (tranny motor etc)

Unless your 68 is 5 lug wheels won't swap without
changing your truck over. (Unless yours is already)
