Help me value and decide wether to buy this truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

It's someone's baby,alright,but not for long. It appears to have been built to sell on Ebay. I think it's really nice and would like to own it. But,I see things different than most of the more recent fans of these trucks (who are now the majority). As mentioned,it's a base model. That's cool,but it's not at the highly desired level by knowledgeable collectors. The newly assigned VIN kills the potential value. Fresh paint,but with cheezy side trim screams "save a buck" in my mind. When I see a truck built to sell I wonder just how good of a job on rust/dent repair was done. You'll find out later. All this considered I'd pay in the $10-12k range just because it's pretty nice and has more than that in it. But,that kind of thinking has hurt me before.

Good catch, I didn't even notice the different style lower trim. Looks like that 88-99 style cut to fit stuff.
