OK guys. I hear a lot of you saying that these trucks are not much worth over $10,000 to $12,000. Well, you tell me if this truck was for sale for say $12,000, that you would not pay that much for it? Take a look at these trucks

This one is going for $ 22,500

This one is going for $36,500

Yes, I do think that is pricey. But tell me you would not buy one of these for say $12,000. Yeah the joy of building it your self would not be there. But my point is, these truck do, and will bring more money then $12,000.
Take a good look at the second one, then think about the truck you have right now, and how much money it would take to make it as clean as this truck. My 72 is no where near a beater at all, but I would have to put at least $12,000 in it to get it like one of these truck
Just my 2 cents worth guys

I've seen the trucks from The Truck Shop and they are new top to bottom. I couldn't pay that price for one, but they are top notch resto's out on the market. We don't have that many around here anymore. My neighbor has a black 70 swb that would bring 15-20 grand and my buddy that lost his in a fire was worth 16 grand. His insurnace paid 17. So I'm not gonna' tell sombody what their trucks worth. I gave 3k for mine 16 yrs ago, its got a fresh .040 350, with the good stuff , a rebulit 350 turbo,new int except seat, almost ready to paint,shaved the trim, filled stake pockets. New tires, caps and rings on ralley wheels. And etc etc., I don't have plans to sell it but I wouldn't give it away either. As is it would take 5k to trailor it off, if the paint turns out like I hope it does 10 k or more. And if I told what I had in in some of the stuff its got you guys would laugh me off here. They don't call me Weasel for nothin' LOL!!!!! So if a guy can get what he wants thats cool like some said price a new truck or a Z-28, 55-57, street rods etc. Price'em somebody will buy'em!!!!!
