Verify the VIN on the cab AND the frame before you go any further. I the cab has been changed I would look into both VIN's before I offer anything

Good call Clyde, I did look and the two match up. but the truck is definitely not an original restoration with a different engine, updated suspension, updated interior dash and steering wheel and gearing swapped to 3:42 with 12 bolt posi rear etc.,

also in the one picture it has a chrome booster/master cylinder combo ,and the small block pic its zinc and rust ,
im 10k in a frame off restomod including buying the truck (63 swb bbw v8 auto ac truck)
new everything , powdercoated frame and all suspension and pro paint , air bags , 22/24 combo full interior ,
i just dont see 22k , i think for 20k u can find alot more truck , those arent expensive wheels either or are the nexan tires
but its a cool truck just dont overpay
just my 2 cents man , good luck , needs to be about 6 inches lower lol

and orig paint , im into the rest 4250 as of today , lookin back
i guess i did get some deals but i dont have porterbuilt stuff

I have a BBW short bed (1964) I paid $5K for and put 2K more into it (see the thread "El Palomito") I would be happy to get that truck for 15K, wouldn't pay more cause I dont like red. If I liked the color I'd pay up to $17K. Remember it probably gets 12 mpg....not a great daily driver if thats what you want....Plus it has to be a BBW for me.

The rust in the bed would be concerning for 20k truck and the wheels kind of kill the value...10k tops only judging by the pics

I'd expect to see it listed for ~15K around here.

Update: I offered the owner $17k and he said he wanted $20k. He is a CPA, so a numbers guy and thought it was a fair offer, but he is going to put it on ebay and see what happens.

I really appreciate all the input from you guys and this forum. I am still in the hunt for a truck and will be sticking around.

I believe that the seller bought a truck partially done for parts, then changed out all the parts he wanted built this truck to sell, he still has another truck that he is going all out on, I know several people that do this...

so funny you say that. I did not mention that but you are right. the seller, being a numbers guy, was not very quiet about the situation and was very honest. he has two other 66 trucks being built and both of those will have high money invested in them. His wife said he has to choose and get rid of this one. He bought those other trucks without even looking at them in person and the shop that is doing the work on those has described to me how bad those trucks were as well..... fast forward.... he more than likely will lose money on those as well.

If it truly is going up on eBay, that may work out in your favor.

I agree, it either won't hit reserve or won't sell and then a bit more reality will set in for him. He may come back to me if I don't find another one before then. He did say he was in no rush so it may be a while before he posts it on ebay.

Around here- that's a $7500 to $ 9000 truck. there's too many differences in the pictures- obviously not all of the same truck. Some earlier mentioned a put together-to-sell truck and I think they are right. there's not 22K worth of detail in this truck.
I think I'd rather have more proof of the money spent on this truck than just a pile of reciepts.
I wonder if it is being sold because he knows he's in it too deep.....

[Moodyj]

What I know about history is this:
The seller bought the truck somewhat done (not sure how much)
the local shop here that I have gotten to know and they have shown me their work did the rest of it (suspension, finish body work, engine work, front end work - not the bed or painting the cab.

I would tell him to call you when he finishes the ebay auction. when he comes back, I would offer him $15K....or less. Watch what the highest bid is on ebay and go $500 more.

Around here the max you would get for that truck is 12k. 20k is ridiculous. Hell look around the country and find a nice one for half that price spend a grand to have it shipped and your golden. Or look in the for sale section on here and find a nice one.
