I bought a '50 1/2 ton that aside from replacing the pressure plate and bleed the brakes, I could have driven home for $300.
I aired up the tires, bled the brakes, and drove it till I busted the torque tube joint.. then I sold it on eBay for $1,000.
Value is really based on condition and market. In my area, a solid 40's thru '50's truck that runs is worth anywhere between $300 and $1000.
In other areas, where the trucks are harder to come by, or are all rusted out because of humidity and salted roads, the price can climb as high as $2000+ for a unrestored, in decent condition solid truck.
Hell, i've heard of people paying upwards of $1000 just for a solid 1950 cab!
