Help me value and decide wether to buy this truck

The VIN tag issue is not an insurance issue. They will insure it as long as it has clear legal paperwork. If the state will tag it, they will insure it. The last guy up hit it on the head. It probably cost 40K+ to build it. Is it worth that...NO! Do you ever get your money out of a build like that...no. Long bed hurt it....maybe...but in this situation...NOT REALLY. Does this economy hurt it...YES!! What would it sell for at Barrett Jackson or Fast N Loud...who cares...that's not accurate or realistic. If you really want it, have money to waste and are never going to have to sell it...pay what you want. If you really want it but don't want to loose money...pay under $15K. If you really want it and don't want to get hurt too bad when you sell it...stay under 20K. These 67-72 trucks, although nice and great looking, are not a cash crop.

VERY NICE BUILD and anyone would be lucky to have it.

The above represents an OPINION only along with 25 years of buying, building and selling 67-72 trucks in the S.E. of this great country.

I'd estimate the cost of this build well into the thirty thousand range,
the engine has a warranty,
Yeah those tires could be replaced for sure
and it has to much lift for my liking, I'd like to lower it about two inches.
It's hard to get into and the steering wheel is close to the seat for me so a tilt column and a smaller wheel would be in order right away,
also a gear vendors on that tcase to the rearend would help tame that big block I'd bet, the online calculator says 2700 at 65 or so with 4.10's and 33's
and a bed liner spray in would set it off nice too.
thanks for all the replies.

I'm not a red fan, but that one looks great.
Let us know your plan.
Good luck

That's a very good and realistic opinion
