Hey guys,

First just wanted to say "hi." I am new to the forum.

I have my eye on a '57 F-100 that is in my opinion a pretty solid truck. The truck came from NC and has been sitting a few years. It has a 302 w/auto trans and 9" rear end. The body is 99% flawless. It is painted flat black, shaved door handles, frenched antenna, etc. The truck starts up and runs with ease. I have got the guy down to $3500 on the price with a few boxes or spare parts (glass, moldings, weather stripping, bumpers, mirrors, etc).

I haven't priced out a classic vehicle before. People have told me its hard to justify a price on something like that and that it ultimately lies in the eye of the beholder.

I would just like to get some feedback from you guys.

Thanks,
Greg

 

sounds like a good price, welcome to the forum.

 

welcome to the FTE,if you have a ford this is the place to be.in the 2 or 3 months ive been on here ive seen some pretty amazing help,these people are great.
good luck on your first purchase of a classic truck,hope to see you and it soon.

p.s. we love to see lots of pictures here so dont forget to post them.

 

Welcome to FTE!! Any pics or links to pics would help in justifying a price. But without seeing, if it's been built once already, and everything is good, then $3500 isn't too bad. And I believe big back windows will be even more worth it.

 

No pics yet. I am taking my neighbor to see the truck on Monday. He is a big gear head. I will have pics then (maybe even the truck if all goes well).

57s are Bitchin...... Hope you grab it.

 

Welcome to the forum. Look forward to seeing your "new" truck.

 

So I slept like a little kid om Christmas Eve last night...

Getting ready to head out with my neighbor and look at the truck again. Taking a deposit with me since I can't grab all of the money out of the bank today for the truck (damn holidays!).

I will be bringing back at least some pics and hopefully some good news that I will be picking up the truck later this week.

Hi and Welcome!

I hope you get your truck and we see more of you here at FTE

 

Just bought it! I took my gear head neighbor over to see the truck this morning and he told me within 2 minutes of looking at the truck that I wouldn't find anything this clean or solid for the money. So here are some pics

 

Heck yeah!! A fine specimen to mold and shape into your own! Nice score!

 

Great buy, and congratulations!
