Flathead 51

My dad has 51 flat head, v8 his father bought new. Has a little rust on body, he removed motor several years ago to have it reworked, was running when he parked it. His health is failing and I want to purchase it from him for a fair price. Any ideas on how much it might be worth? A ball park figure? I know isn't a lot of information, unsure of what other info would be important to share.

Welcome to the forum.

The prices of these trucks are all over the map. It all depends on condition. Having a truck that has been in your family since new would be a great story.

Post some pictures & a number of the guys here will weigh in.

You didn't say what this flathead is in. Also, running when parked really means nothing because it depends on the condition of the engine Now!

Got it, will post pictures next time get opportunity. This is what I would call a standard, short bed truck. Has the big white grill on the front that looks like monster teeth. As you can tell don't know much, but will do best to get better info next time I post. Main objective is to pay correct price, keep it in the family. Thanks.
