Fully restored stone stock AD trucks aren't worth all that much dollar wise unless they are 100 point national Chevy truck association contenders. The concept that a stone stock restored truck is worth more than a real nice fully finished custom truck is total nonsense these days. That hasn't been true with any vehicle except for actual classics that are on the registry of classic cars since the early 70's.
