Frank, you are correct that the truck could NOT be built for 10k. At least not to the quality that you see. Trust me when I tell you guys that you would have that much in the cost of materials alone. BTW- Thank you guys for complimenting my truck..... ![]() |

i'm glad to see these trucks going for good money
![]() ![]() you can tell Ken's truck is a 20-25k truck because it is a clean frame off and is kept clean. i would probably go in the 8k range for the blue one.

Every time I look at a car or truck over 10-15 years old on a lot it is "restored". Sorry dude, but new wheels, tires and a cheap paint job isn't "restored"! I've always thought there should be some way of coming up with a national standard for "restorations". Like a grading system: A = totally restored including off the frame B = new/rebuilt engine, tranny, new paint, new interior but maybe not off the frame. C = really nice low mile original with anything not looking new replaced D = rebuilt engine, tranny, new paint (basically an overhaul of the vehicle) etc. There should be some way of recognizing a person that is qualified to make that designation and if you are advertising a vehicle as "restored" you would have to have it inspected to prove it. Now I sound as high as the guy selling this truck!?! BTW, I always see things like "rebuilt engine" - if you replaced the cam but the rest of the engine still has 150,000 miles its not rebuilt. IMHO its not rebuilt if everything outside of the main foundation (crank, block, etc) isn't new. Its overhauled!!! Everything is open to interpretation and is ambiguous. I see primered cars with no ineriors and mismatched wheels at car shows so I guess technically it is a show car???

For sure you can not go by this truck that this guy wants $54,000.00 for it. Also looks like his brother (who's owns the truck) put a fake bid for $25,000.00. It would be nice if our trucks was worth anywhere close to that but not today. You can get a super nice '57 Chevy Convertable for that and less. I am talking about show room nice. MO I just have a strong feeling that guy will not get any more bids. If he does, I might stick my truck, Suburban and Model A on there for sure.

I know. I sold a really nice '57 Nomad about 16 years ago for $2,500.00 and now they are out of sight. I do not know if the $2,500.00 could make the down payment today.

I don't really follow the tri-5's but I do know that a restored 57 convertible is well over 50k. I have seen them bring over 100k recently.....
