Re: removal of my post
The speedwarning dash is worth $300.
I would pay close to $3,500 for that truck, and I wouldn't do anything more than clean it up and drive it. I maybe would consider dropping it a few inches front and rear but that would be the only change I would make. The paint would look pretty good cleaned up. I would ditch the S10 hubcaps for some period correct caps. That truck is very unique with the buckets, AC, speed warning, 327, and power brakes. The non-factory options are cool too like the topper and grille guard.

Re: removal of my post
See the knob next to the headlight switch? You turn that and it moves the small needle on the speedometer. When the speedometer needle gets to that short needle the buzzer will sound. It is used to warn you that you are going over your desired speed.
It is a rare option that is desirable by many truck fans.

Re: removal of my post

Re: removal of my post
Brian,
I am afraid that the fact that value of this truck is it's originality is lost on you. It appears to have many desirable options. It's value is the fact that the truck was built with these options and still has them! So often parts like the oil bath air cleaner go into the trash for a "better" race car style part. If you want a driver truck to lower and change about then buy more of a driver truck. So very often I hear about "completely restored, except for...." and they turn out to have excepted right out of their unique parts. A good example would be an early 396 A/C truck that now has a 502/4L80 and vintage air. At the beginning of this thread you didn't want to overpay because the owner didn't know the value of his truck. From the looks of this thread there are many things you don't know about it either. Might want to sit down and study up on it. If you can get the option list we will help sort and explain it for you. In the end, can you afford the truck and its needs to keep it? Or are you looking for a driver truck to toss wheels on and pull the "old man stuff" off of regardless of value?

Re: removal of my post
That brush guard is period correct, and I believe was a dealer option.
You don't see them around very much anymore, and if I found one I would put it on my 1970 4x4.

Re: removal of my post
Buy the truck with the least amount of rust that you can find. Then do whatever you want to it to make it the way YOU want it
