Need to get rid of the "camper" he put in it..

I thought this was some sort of optical illusion and the shed was in the background, not a camper!!

Just note: looking at the rear of the box sections this is for racetrack style trim.

Bunch of parts and a Crew Cab Super Camper Special (I've never seen one before)- https://newlondon.craigslist.org/pts...511590140.html
Clutch/Brake assembly- https://providence.craigslist.org/pt...508075376.html

And more over priced NE trucks-

https://southcoast.craigslist.org/ct...492863212.html
https://longisland.craigslist.org/ct...502330101.html

I'm going to step on my soap box for a minute. I really hope that our breed of trucks do not become highly valuable. I bought a 1971 Bronco for $500 in 2005 and then sold it in 2008 for $1000, only after I got it running good and bought 4 new tires (probably around $1500 invested in parts). Now you can't even look at an early Bronco for less than $10k. I love the fact that a dentside is easy to work on, fun to drive, and most parts can be picked up at your local jy. If people keep asking ridiculous prices for a '73-'79 Ford truck, I won't be able to afford another project in the future. I want to build more of these once I'm retired because they are so much fun. Okay, stepping down now.

Not sure if we are supposed to only look at lower priced trucks

Lower priced in value, or the rare birds is how I take the title.

What is it worth to me vs what is the list price.

To me a $20k truck that takes $30k to build is a value and a "find of the week".

Posting a barely running, barely braking, and barely steering, rusty, truck for $2000 is not a value to me.

IMO low cost is rarely a value.
