Last weekend I bought a 74 Maverick , Next weekend I Plan on picking up a 53 short bed and maybe a couple of parts trucks , So I need to get rid of something . As the 54 panel is much rarer and has a modern drive train , I will be putting the 56 F250 up for sale . Can I expect to get $10,000 for it ?

 

Wow! It looks great I think your right there with the price! Seems fair to me, I am not a green guy but I really like that color!

 

Not with that wet seat, you won't.


That's a fair price, for a ready to use vehicle.

Saw a Mav. like that at a PA car show. Had a 460 in it. Looked factory, the installation was that good.

 

I think a '56, even a 250, with known good paint, rust repaired and photos to prove it, and a rebuilt engine, should go for more than that. I'd think closer to $15k.

It sure does look nice...but it might depend on the condition of the portions not pictured. Such as the suspension,wiring, frame and general under side.
A set of center caps and trim rings would help add appeal - it does have a lot of black trim.

Why would you pick up a Maverick if it meant having to lose a working truck?

I have a 54 panel , as my everyday drive . The Maverick takes me back to my youth as I had one when I was 19 . That car took me from skiing in Canada to the beaches of Daytona , Bike races in Laconia , Pennsylvania and western NY . Trips all through New England . I would love to be able to do it all over again . I get my enjoyment from the build and I like the oddball stuff that nobody else has . Plus I see another truck in my future , Maybe next week .

 

Ah, that makes sense!

You shouldn't have a problem finding a good willing buyer for that truck.
Again, it looks nice. Might want to advertise it including a photo of it pulling the car...helps add utility compared to 1/2 tons.

Sell it at the AZ auctions and you'll get a lot more than 10,000 !!

 

It's a really nice truck. It won't go down by 5000.00 in ten years like the other 10,000.00 3/4 tons out there. I'm like you. I keep them moving. There is always something else I am seeking. Good luck in the sale of a very capable real truck. I wouldn't need caps or trim rings. It looks very '3/4 ton as it is. And that's a good thing to me and others who want to tow or haul some serious loads.

 

Sweet lookin truck!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hunters have a saying
"It's not the kill,,, It's the thrill of the chase"
Once a build is complete, the chase is kinda over.
Time to build another and ya just can't keep em all.
Go get em Dr.

$10,000 sure maybe. $15 grand I think not. This truck has been for sale near me for over a year now at $16,500 and its 56 bigwindow

That truck is worth more than $10,000 in California. Probably at least $15K. I have no idea if it will bring $10,000 in your area.

But I would start higher than $10K anyway. You can always come down. If I needed a truck, I'd give you $10,000 for it. And I'm sure you have more than that in it.

That's a nice truck.

 

Thanks for the encouragement , I put it on Craig's list and will try E-bay NEXT .
