I have a widow friend who would like to sell her husband's 41 flatbed. It ran up till he parked it 5 yrs ago and she wants to sell it but doesn't know what its worth. She has people interested, just no idea what to ask. Can anyone give me an idea or where to look? Thanks guess I cant post pics so here is a link to 2 Pic of truck Pic 2 of truck | | | | | Joined: Mar 2000 Posts: 1,229 Red dot, center of chest ... | | Red dot, center of chest ...

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 | I'm no expert on that vintage truck but the above given prices sound quite high to me.
For a reasonable guess at value compare prices for similar trucks that do sell on ebay over a few weeks or months. Try to judge and compare condition of those and yours as that is a major factor in the value. Location also plays a part in the value. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 237 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 237 | I have a 1941 1 ton pickup that I paid $3,500.00 for on Ebay 7 years ago. It was all original.
It was totally restored with an updated engine,transmission and rear end. It would top out at 45mph with the low gearing so I had to repower it.
I would not take less than $20,000.00 for it now.
Without knowing more details about this vehicle I would not price it over $3,000.00. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,608 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 1,608 | If it was rebuilt, I would need to see many more pictures to hazard a value. Not enough information to say. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 182 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 182 | Conventional cab stake bed trucks are the least desirable of all art deco trucks, so they command poor prices.
Some visible flaws:
Roof is dented.
Missing parking lights.
Missing windshield regulator.
Paint appears to be shot.
Interior painted black (ugly and non-original)
Considering these visible flaws, it is probable that there are numerous other flaws.
I think the truck is worth between $3000 and $6000, at least in my neck of the woods.
