no, but you've only posted one pic and very little information for us

if the body is as rust free as you claim, you do have one advantage living up where you are and that is; everything else is rusted to pieces.
it is a solid $5000 truck as is, again going off one picture.
if you spent some time to clean it up you may get more.
a clr wash will get rid of a lot, if not most, of that surface rust and the oxidized paint, you'd be surprised with before and after

I'll have to look into this color wash you speak of. I've never heard of it

I agree with this statement on value.

CLR wash, not color

I'm figuring $20,000 from what I can tell.
I have a 47 short bed that the last purchase was $500 on. That was only the cab, frome front fenders, grill, transmission, drive shaft, and both axles. That's lower than it was worth. Because of it being only a half year production $5000 would reasonable. Yours runs so that's a bag factor in it. If the body is in rough shape probably $15000. You should be able to get $20000 out of it because it looks like it's a strait truck with a need for a paint job and some sanding.

Whats the scoop with the black truck? Looks like all 4 fenders, hood and cab have been sectioned and left the roof unchopped. I like the look a lot.
Just curious what kind of #'s were taken out from where

Sell it??? Hell....I see a set of his and hers trucks in your future!!

If I came across a truck in that good of condition I would have a hard time parting with it.

Well now we have a perdicament... My dad apparently said he'd build the 5 window for my mom. So now im not sure whats gonna happen. I might end up having to use the 47. Just a shame to cut it up. It'll be a year or so before this happens probably. I need finish restoring my 70 Plymouth Duster 340 first. Maybe I can talk her into just driving it with the 4 spd and the 6 cylinder. We'll see.
