Hi everyone. I'm new to the 47-59 era and I need some opinions. I happened to run across a 52 GMC for sale today that caught my eye for some reason so I inquired about it. I know next to nothing about these trucks and what they're worth, so I was hoping maybe you guys could help me out...
It's a 52 GMC 5-window, rust-free (supposedly); never been driven in winter; 228 straight-6 with 7000-8000 miles; 5-speed trans w/granny low (is that right?); suspension was redone and new kingpins were put in; it has a dent in the left rear fender from rolling into the guy's garage, which also broke off a tail light. The colors are a little funky for my taste (orange with a purple interior and purple accents on the engine, yikes) and the PO extended the bed out back for some reason which looks a little awkward, but overall the truck looks very straight and like it's in good shape.
As for spare parts that go with it he has a spare head, the original grill, carburator, clutch fan, fuel pump, distributor, water pump, king pins, lights, door weatherstrip, side mirrors, seat belts, and a radiator overflow system (weatherstripping, seat belts, and overflow system are new in packages).
His asking price is $3200 obo. What do you guys think, is it worth that? Like I said, I'm absolutely clueless as to what these trucks are worth since I've never dealt with them before, but I do think this is a neat truck and would be fun for my dad and I to work on since this is the kind of classic he likes. Here are some pictures by the way:
