I live not far from the original poster in Saskatchewan, Canada. I was at a farm auction this May where the old timer had collected AD trucks for many many years.
There were perhaps twenty 1/2 tons for sale however most were rusted, parts missing, engines seized, etc... Drivetrains & chassis mostly appeared complete. These trucks sold for about $500 to $1000, with the high being $1500 and the low being $100. The $1500 truck could probably have been put on the road with little effort. The more expensive trucks looked to me like they had better cabs & panels (ie minimal rust).
There were also a few 3/4 tons, 1 tons etc.. and these seemed to sell for about $300.
The engine accessories like starters and generators were effectively free or disposed. I bought a bucket of horns for $5.
