I paid $5500 for my '52 3 window(standard cab). The floor had been repaired and looks like an excellent job. Otherwise 90 % rust free. It's a 10 year old frame off restoration and then the next owner was a kid that let it sit outside. Imagine that!!!! Anyway, doors are extra nice, all rubber replaced, interior done, etc. Basically a decent restoration that has gotten old. So I'm in the process of painting it, new bed wood, radial tires, and it got an updated 235 engine. I'm pretty sure it will bring 10 grand, easy, next spring when I'm done. (If somebody doesn't buy it by then) If I were to go all the way and say rebuild the motor and replace all the glass it would be worth more. So compare this $5500 truck with that Ca. truck and yeah, I'd have to agree there are better ones out there for that price. And believe it or not, the 5 window delux model doesn't really bring that much more value to the table. One would think they would, but I haven't seen it. Just some thoughts to compare.
