Hi all. First post. I need help figuring a few things out. I found a 60 f100 that has been restored to a very nice point. It has a new head liner, new paint, engine and tranny rebuilt (original 292 and three on the tree), new upholstered seat. It appears that the dash board was being done before the owner passed away.
What the value of this truck?
What are some common watch outs?
I don't want to insult the widow or take advantage of her with my offer.
Where can I find out what or if there were options with the make and model?
Thanks for any help you all can provide.

Reason: Was wrong area?
Pictures worked. Is that a short bed of long bed? Short are worth more. Location matters, at least give us a state. Here is one way to estimate value: Classic Car Values & Specs - NADAguides
Also important, where is the owner regarding price? Do you have a sense of her expectations? If it were $1,500, its probably a bargain; If its $5,000, you would probably have to really consider.
its strange how the value on this model truck is so low. I have noticed very nice trucks going for 5k... Building one is a total loss in value but fun and rewarding too.
5k was her range. what things do I need to consider?
Welcome to FTE
Truck is a Custom Cab, as it has stainless steel windshield reveal mouldings.
Radio antenna is aftermarket, doesn't look anything like the original and is mounted in the wrong place. Genuine Ford antenna is mounted on the right cowl panel.
With a gypo antenna, is the radio factory, or is it too aftermarket? The original radio has a round dial with a **** on either side.
Wheel covers aren't original either, Ford didn't offer them for these trucks. I have no idea what they're from, as I can't see but a piece of them.
The problem with 1957/60's is...they won't bring the money that other years will, why, I dunno. When introduced in 1957, they were considered revolutionary...and were the first Styleside pickups FoMoCo offered.
Would I pay 5 grand? No I wouldn't and neither should you. Offer less, the worst the seller can say is no. But before making an offer, check the truck out thoroughly and post more pics of it.
