I was thinking I'd offer $2500-3000... It runs and drives...reasonable?

 

I think $2000 to $2500 is right in there. What are other trucks similar going for?

D

 

He wants $5k out of it. Ill pass.

 

Yes that is way more than I would pay, he would be doing good getting $2500.00 Can't see anyone buy it for $5000.

Ha, he said he would take my 1990 diesel F-250 in great shape as a partial trade...he's out of his mind.

 

Is that right, 1959 4x4 was only available in F250?

Around here, California, I would think that would be in the $3,500 range.

 

Sounds like he's done quite a bit to the truck, if it's solid I would pay that much here in the rust belt.

 

I'm far from the rust belt, so value goes down for me lol!

 

Well, having done much of what he has to my 59 F250 4x4, I don't think $4000-$5000 s out of line. You can pour more than that into one real fast just to get it drivable.
And FWIW, even a really nice IDI diesel would have a hard time bringing $4000-$5000 around here.

 

Down here, its generally true that you can get nice trucks for less than that, haha. If he said $3000, id be all over it.

 

Mine is a Montana truck too. After replacing hoses, belts, water pump, fuel pump, starter relay, freeze plugs, clutch master & slave, gas tank filler rubber, cap, float. and fixing all the wiring, cleaning mouse nests from heater, clutch, cab-replacing seat, doing complete tune up and carb rebuild and it still needs brakes, tires and a T-case and I wouldn't take 3 grand for it. I would have been better off spending 5 grand for one I could drive instead of $800 for one that needed brought back.
