Exploring options - 1967-72 GMC 4x4 SWB

[InNeedofaDelorean]

Hello everyone, you may remember me from this thread, http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=702504

I hunted down and found my dad's truck, a 1968 GMC 4x4 SWB. They said it's not for sale, because they love the truck so much. Well, I kinda threw in the towel at that point. I was done with the whole thing, I guess.

Well, my friend Wayne has like... Maybe 8 67-72 Chevy's, fully restored and all in gloss black. We had a private afterparty for our little group, and he let me sit in one of them and... Whew boy, the magic was back. I have to try my hand, one last friggin' time, at getting my dad's baby back.

So my friends are up to doing the work for me, I'll be buying the materials and everything needed but... We're going to either replicate my dad's truck, and I will offer it in a trade for my dad's truck, or we'll build something similar but also extremely badass, and offer it in a trade.

So my question is... How much does a good, little rust 67-72 4x4 SWB GMC go for nowadays? Paint isn't really an issue, we'll be repainting it. Plus, I have like 3-4 body work friends who are up to doing the work for a couple cases of beer, and the price of materials.

So hopefully this works out - either way, I'll come out at the end with a badass truck. Hopefully it's my dad's... If not, well, I'll have a truck similar to make my own memories in.
