Does the truck have Warn locking hubs or equivalent? If so add several hundred dollars,
if not, consider front axle wear due to mileage of the truck. I think if you had to fix these axles, it will get into some $$$ quickly. If missing, it will cost you $$ to get a set.
Same with the brakes, etc., the bigger the truck, the more cash you spend.
How bad is the rust, easy or hard fix?
The single wheels are uncommon, yet provide you the possibility of putting some big tires like Michelin 13.00 x 20.0s. You will be able to get big tires cheap via a surplus dealer.
Sound like a neat truck with a 361, should be worth $2,000 - $3,000 if it has good sheetmetal,
runs, and has lockouts. What year is it?
I just bought a running 67 W500, slant six, needs
fenders and grill, has Warn hubs. Cost was $600.00, so I jumped on it.
