AL WIW '55 Big window short stepside

[67_C-30]

A close friend of my family has been diagnosed with brain cancer and he is trying to sell a lot of his stuff to pay medical bills, normal bills, etc. He is in his early 60's, and this truck was bought new by his dad. It is all original and actually runs quite well. It has the 235, 3OTT. It has been sitting a long and the brakes and all rubber parts are shot. It is fairly solid, but has some rust in the usual areas, lower fenders, cab corners, rockers. It is definitely fixable, but needs to be gotten out of the weather ASAP. I am seriously considering buying it to help him out, and I'm wanting to know if you guys can help me with a price that is fair for both of us. The initial price that he offered me is way too low, IMO. Normally, it would have already been in my driveway, but I cannot take advantage of him in his condition. That being said, I don't want to invest more than its worth either. These trucks aren't my specialty, so let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance.
