Welcome to Stovebolt..
IMO this may or may not be a decent price DEPENDING on the overall condition of the truck and what you plan on doing with it. If you plan on a restoration as I just completed on my 59 Chev you will be spending a ton of money. You have to figure that a truck that is 47 years old WILL have things wrong with it that you can see and that remain unseen until ownership/driving or tear down occurs. My 59 was a desert truck I purchased in 1974 for $500.00 and was in great shape except for a worn out engine. There are a lot of these trucks still out there but like everything else they are not getting any cheaper to buy or own. If you are not in any big hurry to buy one I would shop around and maybe one more agreeable to your price range will come along but consider it may not be in as good a condition. Am sure you will be getting other opinions here and they will all be good ones. This board is THE BEST place available for old GM truck questions and info.
