Curious what most here have paid for thier trucks

[806em55]

I bought mine last Nov. I was just trying to buy the 51 short bed and the old man said i had to take all of them. Im glad i did now because it gave me all the parts i need to finish the crew cab build. I paid 700.00 for them and got the s-10 frame for another 100.00. Hopefully will be through with it for less than 7500.00!!!!

I paid too much, but it was the truck my wife and I agreed on and the "too much" is rather negligible when you start dumping money into a project.

I paid $3k for mine off ebay and then had to shell out another grand to get it delivered from texas to maryland. It has less rust than most trucks around here, but I've seen more solid trucks on ebay since buying this that have only gone for a few hundred more. In the long run it won't be a big deal but compared to some of the steals I've seen on this site and others I got ripped off

For me, I paid 3000 for the truck and 700 in parts to make in run and drive. New tank, wheels/tires of craigslist to replace the 4 flat bald ones. Fuel pump, battery, carb rebuild, and master cyl. It's still running and driving today. It looks ok, i get it out once in awhile. I been working on the 72 (which is a whole different story by far!)

So i have a really solid start with only two spots that need repair. Running SB400 TH350 in it. The rest is stock. It was parked since my brother inlaw drove it to high school in 1989. He wanted 7k then 6k 4 yrs later he decided to offer it to me for 3k. So now I own it!

The other one we search for a few months looking for a 55-57. Found a 55 big window rolling shell. 1600.00 No glass,no motor or trans, all stock running gear. With very little rust.
