Someone has done a lot of work and innovation to make a pickup out of a 3/4 ton. The wheelbase suggests it was an Ambulance or a Carry All originally. The bed has been shortened on the rear end, probably so the original bumperettes could be used.
Well, an objects worth is only determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. But I cannot see this being worth what is being asked for it. Other than the frame (maybe), the running boards, and the nose clip, nothing is original. So, you'd have to dig up a lot of expensive sheetmetal to make this truck right. The bed is worthless to a collector, because it's been whacked. The cab, though, has some collector value.
I just thought I'd point this out just in case someone is thinking about it.
