New here, loaded question

[DogDish]

Hi all, I've been interested in restoring a 47-54 3100 for awhile, and I know some things to check for when looking for a builder.

One thing that is not clear to me, is how much I should be spending on the truck based on condition.

I know craigslist can be a nightmare, but are trucks like this:

or this:

Over priced? Is there any other tips you guys might have for me when buying my first project or better places to look for a truck?
