Is there any way to estimate what it was worth? It has been sitting for many years, has some broken glass, rusted out box and rocker panels, but still has good doors, fenders, engine(flathead V-8), radiator, grill, and probably transmission. Is there a reasonable price for something like that or is it just junkyard fodder? I'ld rather try to sell it next spring if it's worth it, I saved it from the crusher this fall and just want to see it go to good use somehow if possible. Thanks [Reply]  [Send Email]

All the streetrodders would like it. Lot's of stuff available to patch it up. I wouldn't sell my Dads truck. I'd look for a nephew to take it if nothing else. See if you've got an Early Ford V8 Club in your area.   [Reply]  [Send Email]

That will make a big difference in what it's worth. If it's a pickup, there is a demand for them, but for a big truck there isn't so much. This won't be much help, but without knowing any more than you've told us, it's worth between $200 and $2,000. If you're in western Washington and want to part it, I'm in need of a driver's door, but could probably be talked into the flathead and the radiator as well.   [Reply]  [No Email]
