The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Doing Some Research

I have a 49 five window Thriftmaster which has been restored to stock. When I show the truck people often ask how much it costed when new. I would like to create a reproduction of what an invoice from that era would of looked like listing the base price for the truck and the cost of factory and dealer installed options. Where are the places I could go to find out the information I need to create such a document?

For those of us that own pre window sticker vintage vehicles this is not an easy thing to do. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

Thanks for the info.

Denny,

What about the list price for a 1950 suburban? Curious to find out.

Thanks,

Robert

I've got $1,690 for a 1950 suburban but Tim's the expert here, he might have another figure.

In the last part of 1966 I was looking around for a new pickup.I could have bought a new 1966 Chevy or Ford pickup,six,cyl.standard shift,long box,of either one for $1500.I ended up buying a 1965 Ford from a neighbor for $1500. The Ford had a 352 V/8,radio,deluxe heater and was a Custom Cab.Starting with the 1967 models the price really jumped.

1950 1/2 ton Suburban, models 3106 (Panel Doors) and 3116 (End-Gate Rear): $1,605 + $80 for delivery
