66hemi:

It is difficult to make a call on a classic auto via a verbal description, sight-unseen whether it is two thumbs up or two thumbs down. I have personally experienced a wide range of prices and conditions of trucks while putting together my collection of '64-'66 Chevy trucks.

I gather as much information as possible about the era of trucks that I have interest in. Check the local paper, www.craigslist.com, in your area and eBay. Another good source of information is www.oldchevytruck.com for many vehicles from the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's. Kelly and NADA can be a good source of a classic truck's value.

In closing, since you have owned so many vehicles, you may be more versed than many, to determine if the truck you are interested in, is worth the investment. Without seeing the truck, it is not a good measuring stick to take anyone's advice, good or bad on what a truck is worth. Look it over good and kick the tires. If you think it merits the cash outlay, do the deal and get to truckin.

Good luck. I hope you buy it or another stovebolt.
