I buy alot better looking for $300 or less on a regular basis, actually.
I know where at least two '46 1.5 tons are sitting that can be had for less than $300.. I paid $350 for my '50 1/2 ton that just needed air in the tires and the brakes bled.. and the 1940 GMC 1.5 ton was another $350 score.
Most folks around here just want the old crap drug out of their yards.. old trucks, at least to the folks around here, are junk.. so if you give 'em a little more than crusher price, it's yours.
Theres the occasional case where the old farmer is just used to having it sitting there and would miss it if it were gone.. and every now and then you'll get a guy who dosent wanna part with a truck because it was his dads/grandpas/uncles etc.
Very few folks around here buy the trucks to restore or fix up and use.. the only reason they don't put an ad in the paper to sell 'em is because they can't imagine anybody would WANT them!
In about 40% of the cases, they tell me, "If you can get it out of there, you can just HAVE it! Hang on a second.. let me get you the title."
