That sort of truck is very hard to price, it looked nice, but was not original, kind of like a hot rod, could be worth a whole lot to the right buyer, but not worth much to a collector.
I would not have paid much for it, but if it is viewed as a cab chassis with some nice add ons, maybe $4,000-$5,000? That would be looking on it as a driver that could fool most folks inot thinking it is original, and you do not need to baby as it is not original.
Of course with those pictures, and the location, it is hard to say if it was rusty, had the original engine, or had anything else that would have brought the price up or down.
Before I paid money for something like that I would want to look it over very carefully!
But then again, I am into original trucks, and while I can admire the efforts it took to make the bed and running boards, I also know that the market is driven mostly by trucks with original parts.
What do you think it is Worth?
