I just looked at some ad's a few minutes ago. 5 to 12 K for rusted non running task force. Oh and called a few days ago about a Blue chip I think the fellow was asking around 30k for it. Super nice paint job he paid a ransom for. But just all the same old everything running gear and brakes wise nothing fixed there. So likely the same old bearings and seals, u joints and on and on. For 30K? gosh you'd think it should be a brand new truck for that. I've even seen some folks asking 20k for what is basically a project. So what is it driving these prices a blue book or what?
And yes you can build a truck with new sheet metal, 14k for a new cab with nothing in it. But you can not get a new factory type frame, or steering column, or floor mat, and a few other little important things. A concours restoration would be very very difficult.
I goofed up selling my trucks some years ago. And before that I missed some really good deals because had no place to put them.
Here is an example of over priced junk, read the description about the rust etc. And no pads on the pedals, not the only top dollar one with no pads. I'll remove the ad when it is no longer any good.
