The truck is worth whatever the buyer is willing to put up. Depending on your part of the country, some sellers want your first born or a limb or two for rusted out junk. Other parts of the country are more reasonable.
A '41 Ford is just called a truck. F1 started in '48, F100 started sometime in the '50s I think.

Well it's coming out of KC and seller is asking 12k, again no rust or body damage.
Are the flat heads easy to rebuild? Ir am I getting myself into something expensive?
12K??? That thing should be completely finished and road-worthy for that kind of cash!
Flatheads are reasonably easy to work on depending on your plans. Lots of places sell lots and lots of old Ford parts just for the V-8.

Well it's also a bit more collectible being that's from a vintage gas station called Polly Gas - it still has all the logos and address markings on it.
I've looked around and haven't seen running original 40-41 pickups for less than 22k
I added pics!!!

Does it have a clean title? If it does, then that helps. If you are going to keep it for a long time and are willing to put another 10k +/- in it, the you should have a decent truck. I do think 6 to 8k range is more like the actual price.
Here in Arizona it would bring 12K if running properly and rust free as you describe. Out on the west coast, it would easily fetch 12K.... and if running perhaps 14-16K. But that's Commifornia for you. I'd say 8K would be a good purchase. Flatheads are not cheap to rebuild, and since it doesn't run you have no idea what else doesn't work properly.
It has one thing going for it. It has the 41 hood waterfall. Hopefully it's in good shape. I don't think the 12k is unreasonable it looks complete but like mentioned above your going to spend some money on refinishing it. The cabs are notorious for cracking from behind the door openings. Cab corners rust out fairly common as well. Check the passenger side manifold see if it still has the factory exhaust with the can and heat element. This stuff is all worth some money if you decide to buy it and not restore it.
My dad and I restored this one. Almost completely original with flathead and original 4 speed crash box trans.
There us no filter used on this picture I was extremely lucky to catch the sun at the right angle while she waited her turn to get the exhaust done.
