I have a friend call me today, he has a 1962 stepside that he bought to fix up, but never got started on it. It’s a 6 cylinder truck, but he bought a y block for it. He mentioned he has cab corners, rockers, fender with the spare tire recess, tire mount bracket. ( I think I picked that up at Carlisle for him ) I don’t remember the other parts he mentioned, I haven’t seen it in years. How do we determine a selling price price for it. I looked on the 61-66 site and didn’t see any comparables listed.

 

Like anything else, value depends on condition and location, and demand for the item in your neighborhood. The good news is the 61-66 trucks are starting to become more popular as the price on the 67-79's go crazy. I've always had a soft spot for them since that's what I learned to drive in, my dad's 63 short box uni. He always hated the short box but I thought it was cool. But I digress. You'll just need to scour craigslist and marketplace and look for similar listings, maybe check bring a trailer to see what better examples will get, etc. As you well know, projects rarely bring big dollars, and higher priced ones tend to be advertised forever. I would sell the Y block separately, and anything else that didn't have to go. No one is going to pay extra for the truck just because it has 2 engines or a bunch of spare parts. But if they want the other engine, you can always make them a deal they can't refuse. If it could be made to run and drive without too much difficulty, as is, even poorly, that could be worth doing. A truck that will drive onto a trailer is better than one you have to winch. I know it's a big range, but 1-5K is probably a good ballpark, again, depending on condition. That's my 2c.

 

Dennis, I think you should buy it, put it together, get it running and either sell it or paint it light blue and add it to your stable.

 

Nah, just because I have a barn doesn’t mean I have to fill it up. I’m starting to jack up the ‘54 so I can drop the transmission.
