So what exactly is the pricetag?!? I've got a very similar '57 Ch*vy truck I use for hauling gravel and dirt and it's a sad, rusty hunk-a-junk. I work on it more than I use it. I'd haul it in to the scrapyard and replace it with that Ford in a heartbeat if the price is right. Peoria isn't that far away from me.

Way too nice to junk and I'll chain myself to it before I let that happen.
Here's what I know & correct me if I'm giving out wrong info:
Starts, runs & drives. Good to go. 13-1/2 foot grain box w/removable sides so it could be a flatbed. Tires seem good but it is on the widowmaker rims (thanks Stu for the expert wheel analysis).

Makes a big difference because it means the widowmakers are the easily replaced 6 lug x 8.75" bolt pattern instead of the hard to find 6 lug x 7.25" pattern. That should really help it find a new home. Stu

Since Rob says the tires look good, you'd be after a set of 6 or 7 lock ring 20s. These were used in big numbers by IHC, Dodge, and others for a lot of years. A really good source would be a military surplus place. I'd be looking for replacements in the price range of $25 to $50 each, but would say too that finding them locally for more money to save on shipping costs makes sense.
If you wanted to go with tubeless 22.5s, I think Kevin Bigwin (in nearby Ohio) has/had a set of them for sale too. But then you're buying new or used 9R22.5" tires which adds a good bit to the cost. Used 22.5" tires are pretty common on Craig's List. Stu

He posted on another thread that the truck has already found a new home. Bummer, too. I was at a sale this weekend and they had a '62 F-750 in similar condition that went for $1750. Yikes! (sigh) I guess the search continues.
