need some help with determining a fair price!
Hey guys ...call me nuts...but my 71' is almost done and I stumbled on to this original 68' SWB truck, and think I've got to have it...one of my fav color combo's! He is asking 7000.00 or best offer and I spoke with him on the phone, nicely telling him I didn't think I would give 7k for it but would like to see it and talk, he wants to talk. He sent pics. Truck is original just bought by this guy that I talked to from a farmer the original owner in Southern Colorado. He says it has the original 307 motor, 4 speed, runs fine, un-cut, no rust other than the rockers starting to show and needing replaced. The big hairy question....what do you guys think a fair price is, and or what would be a great deal for me??? Your help

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
I don't know about colorado, but around here that's a $2,500 truck IMO... maybe 3K if it's as rust free as he says. I don't think it's worth anywhere near 7K...

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
I'd say 3K to 4K if it's as clean as he claims. Something makes me a little uneasy about whether that's the original 307 or not, but I can't put my finger on it. I'd also lay even money that the carpet is hiding things that he may not even know about. Good luck, it'd be a fun truck to have.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
307 4sp. In the picture it has a column shift. That makes this truck very rare. The after market tack in a farm use truck and a blue engine. I think I would dig a little deeper in this trucks past. $2500-$3000 tops if it checks out.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
For that engine to be so blue it had to be out of the truck at some point. It is original looking, just blue. But for $7k you could get a much nicer truck.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
I'm not going to say much more than "me too" .. $2500 tops..
It's a SWB.. which is a good thing.. and it looks like it has the usual rusty truck floor. Ps -- I didn't know there were 4 sp Column shifts.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
Oh.. just to illustrate.. here is an $8K truck (dealer price) on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-...QQcmdZViewItem A $7 truck should have no rust at all.

Sent the owner this threads link...he wrote back:
Some other points: - its a three speed - original 4-11's in the rear - original headers, carb, everything but the battery, etc - it has a rare manual over-drive - lever under the dash that you pull Obviously those aren't headers,,,ahhh Ram Horns...and a "rare manual Over-drive...that you pull"??? I believe that to be and "E" Brake....or someone clue me in??? |

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
The engine has been touched up in blue. You can see some over spray on the wires in the back and some on the alt in the front. I would not go over 2,500 for it.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
At 7K I'd say " RUN, FORREST ,RUN !!!! "
Seriously though in 2001 I paid 7500.00 for my 72 Custom /Deluxe long box with a redone 396/350hp and TH400 trans. and rust free body. As has been stated by lots of knowledgeable guys on here, you can get lots more truck for 7k.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
I`m breaking the mold here and give it more value,like in the $3,500-4,500 range.It`s a desireable`68 short Fleetside.It`s not bare bones.It has trimmed grille,chrome bumpers,o/d,speedwarning,V8,and is in nice original condition.If anyone sees a truck like this for $2,000-3,000 please let me know,fast.I`ll buy every one.
The problem I have is,it`s apparent this guy picked it up for what it`s worth,or less,and figures he`ll double the price,or better,and make some easy money.You see guys everywhere you go sticking vehicles at the roadside,"For Sale",that they picked up "right" (or not) and they`ll "flip-it" for some coin.Once one`s sold,there`s another.I don`t buy like that.It`s bad enough to pay more from a dealership just because it`s a dealership even though they know no history and will try anything to avoid standing behind the sale,once bought.It`s worth what he paid for it,right?I buy from people that are selling their own vehicle that can tell you something about it.And,the most important question I always throw in at some point is,"So,why are you selling it?"Granted,a wheeler-dealer will have a well prepared story for you.But,it still gives you a "feel-factor" on the integrity of the seller and vehicle.I like to buy from longtime owners or at least "hobbyists".It`s the "investors" that ruin the hobby.

Re: need some help with determining a fair price!
Hub caps are not stock. Has the dash been cut to make room for that later radio?
I think you can see orange paint under the blue paint on the engine. It's missing the smog pump set up. (Not that that's a big deal.) If the rust it limited to the rockers/corners and mechanically the engine and OD transmission are in good shape I'd say $3000-$3500 for a value. It's a pretty solid old truck on the whole.
