just found this! Help please!

Just found this truck in a shop that we bought for work. Offered the guy a little cash and now its sitting in my driveway.
I know a little about it...360, 1974 i believe.

was wondering if anyone would read this door tag for me, and let me know exactly what i have.

I have included pictures of the truck and tag.

thanks in advance!

Thanks Mike. Since you all deal with these a lot...do you know a estimate of what it would be worth? it does start, run, and drive. i was going to install a wooden stake bed and use it for hauling wood and such. just curious tho if I over or under paid.

Thanks

Welcome to FTE

Hate to be a dick here, what did you pay for it? It's worth that much ain't it.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask that question. If I want something I tend to pay whatever it takes to get, not necessarily what its worth but if it's in good mechanical shape and can do the job you need it to do, I would say $2500-3000, with a lot of variation. Like real estate, the value of these trucks can vary wildly based on the location.

Your not being a dick at all. I appreciate all the help.

Visions and to fix up the cab, do a good tune up, has new carb already, and build I wooden bed with steel sides.

Was just going to use it to haul wood from the farm.

I have 1200$ for it. He was asking 1600. I trailed it home, but I did drive it around the block here. Needs some brake work and few minor things.

In my opinion, you got a good deal.

Ya done good and that bed looks like it will haul a lot of wood. I take it that you have a manual 4-speed with Low/Low granny gear? If so, you'll be able to pull stumps too.

A VERY good deal here. I paid $984 for mine, but you could feel the headache it has given me just by standing too close.

Is it just me or is the right cab corner crushed on the cab? Either way it sounds as though you got a great deal. Congrats on that purchase. And you can always find a replacement cab or just a replacement cab corner and fix that yourself. Use it as a learning tool.
