Not one of the forums I visit, but spotted a really nice blue, all original "52" someone must have pulled out of storage. A layer of dust and tires dry rotted, but appears rust free except for a little discoloring on the white grill. Paint even looks like it would buff out. Afraid to go back and take pictures, would have to try and buy it. I don't believe I have another build left in me. Hard to find something that old and unmolested. What's a ball park value on something like this?

 

What! No pictures? Go back and get pictures.
but seriously its very hard to determine value sometimes even with pictures but its a good starting point. Also location can play a large role in what its worth.

Oh and f100's didn't come out until 53. So it would have been a F-1.

 

I'll drop by there tomorrow and take a few pictures. Hope it's not for sale. It's setting at a machine shop that the owner really wants my Bronco.

 

No worries. If its for sale call me I'll help ya out. Lol

 

Yes, we certainly need pictures!
Not to hijack your thread but I wanted to say your Bronco looks great- I'm a big early Bronco fan. My first Bronco was a '66, wish I still had it. I had five after it and I liked it the best of all of them. The last one was a '76 with 1,700 original miles on it- a rare find I removed from 25 years of climate controlled storage.

 

Closer inspection, not as good as I first thought, but really not bad. Wooden slats in bed still intact. Another one of the "It was my Grandfathers truck" so not for sale. I can respect that.

 

That looks like a nice old truck, thanks for sharing the pictures. Wish my 51 had looked that good when I got it.

 

A complete and unmolested 5 Star Extra truck. Very nice.

 

I like that truck. Not many originals like that left. About the only ones that are left like that nowadays were indeed "Grandpa's truck".

 

And it has a beautiful toothy smile, no monkey face. Much better looking truck than the one I bought. It really looks like it is complete with all its trim and unmolested dash.

 

I'd say Grampa took pretty good care of it .

 

Darn nice looking truck. Even for a manure spreader. Hope it will not sit exposed to the elements very long.
