Hagerty says $5800 fair and 10,800 good. Sounds a little high to me but trucks are hot right now. From their description of the conditions neither one of those would have anything more than very minor rust.

Have way more than that into mine, but I know it was done right. What does the underside look like? It has a 64 grille and upper valance on it. Can you get a picture of the warranty plate?

It was built Dec 63 so it also has cade 381 for body number only available in 64, I was told that some states titled them in the year they were sold??? under is rust free and seems to run good, I appreciate your comments. Thank You

381 was not only available in 1964. All 381 means is
- 81 - You have a Standard Cab truck there - not a Custom Cab. Less desireable to some - like me I only buy Custom Cabs.
- 3 - Green bench seat upholstery - which is probably long gone but I can't tell because the pictures are tiny

what a beautiful engine bay, the truck I am looking at is no where even close, I don't want a show quality vehicle just a nice driver but at 20k I am not sure, the Hagerty prices are really low compared to what is available. I am trying to post a copy of the warranty plate for you but not having any luck.

Warranty Plate was already posted in this thread
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...on-please.html
What ND said about 381 was this
"381 BODY code was not used in 1963, so either the door was replaced along with the Warranty Plate, or the truck is a 1964/65/66."
That warranty plate is for a 1964. 381 is again, nothing special beyond what I mentioned already. Standard Cab with Green bench seat upholstery.
Looks like a clean truck in the pictures but they are small for me. I don't love the wheels but that's personal preference and easy to change it you didn't like them but even easier to live with them. 20K is not a lot if the drivetrain, body work and paint have been done well and the rest of it is to your liking. ND said he would buy it if it were him.

Thanks, yes I agree it's a 64, just built in Dec 63 and titled as a 63. I wish I could inspect it in person as I live in Canada and the border is closed so now I would have to pay and rely on a third party INPECTION @ $400.

Lou Sal where is the truck? Someone here may be willing to go look at it for you if close to them. There are many that are real knowledgeable on where and what to look for. I tried to pm you but I can't

Thank You, the truck is in Montross VA 22520 it was at the GAA auction in Greensbors NC in July but did not sell, it was bid to $17,500 with a reserve of $20,000. The guy says he will now take $19,000 plus the auction fees that amount to $20,500.
I am just a bit confused as the prices are all over the place some a lot more and some way less (Hagerty says 11k in good condition???? very difficult to make a decision. Thanks for your help.
