I have a 1968 ford step side f250 with a 360 is it
rare and how much do you think it is worth restored

 

I have a 78 F-150 429 CJ .

How much do you think it's worth?

My Point is:

It is Really Difficult to determine something's worth without being there and see what all it good,bad,great,lousy,needs work,already done,how much has been put into it.

It's darn near impossible.


Someone here could say Blue Book $125.00
someone else could say $500.00
" " " " $1000.00
and so on.

From what you mentioned about it, I would think at least $200.00

Jed, Dennis is trying to help. The term rare can have more than one meaning, we all know what is is right?
rare? there weren't a lot of that style sold in compairison
worth a lot? some guys like them, I don't care for them, wouldn't own one
It comes down to what you like and what it's worth to you

In the cool still quiet of night, you can hear chevies rusting away.

 

Let me try to answer it this way --

1968 F250s are not particularly rare. The 360 V8 is by far the most common V8 in 1968-1976 F series trucks, and it is worth $50-100 in running condition. Therefore, having an 1968 F250 with a 360 V8 isn't anything that most people are going to get excited about (the 390 V8 is the desirable engine, but even it isn't particularly rare). The stepsides are less common that the fleetsides, but again lots of them were built.

How much is it worth? Value is dependent on how much other people want it, and what their alternatives are. If lots of people want it, and there are very few around, the market value will tend to be high. If something is relatively common, or few people want it despite it scarcity, then the market value will tend to be low.

In your case, don't expect it to be "worth" a lot. If you listed it for sale without any further details, you wouldn't generate any interest in it. Now, if it is in near-mint condition, has some rare options, etc., it could bring as much as $4-5,000. If it is a base trim line, however, has no rare options, and has the wear and tear you would expect on a 34 year old work truck, you'd be lucky to get much over $500 for it.

 

So, in a word, NO. Its not rare.

 

it is a long box with a four speed stick it has 2
fuel tanks seat belts

 

Once again, "rare" is relative. I would guess that a long bed, stepside, 67 F250 is somewhat rare, as I have never personally seen one. As I said above, however, rarity does not necessarily translate into being worth anything. There needs to be a demand for it, as well. In this case, I don't think there would be any demand. Short stepsides are somewhat in demand, but nobody I know has any particular interest in or desire for the long stepsides.

What you have sounds like a typical farm or work truck. Assuming it's the one with the frozen wheel that you dragged out of the field with a tractor, the only way you're going to get any money out of it would be to part it out. The motor and trans might fetch some bucks, and the sheet metal will, too, assuming it is in good condition. Otherwise, you'll have to pay someone to take it off your hands.

 

Well Jed, I read your post and will do my best to answer the 2 very simple questions that you asked.

1. Is it rare? Yes it is. I would say, without proof, but with much confidence that in that model year there were less F-250 long bed stepsides produced that ANY other body style.

2. How much is it worth RESTORED? This is difficult to answer. Just because it is the rarest doesn't mean it's the most desireable. It also depends on what YOUR idea of restored is. It is MY OPINION that your truck would be worth $3000-$4500 restored depending on the level of restoration. Maybe more if you had the right buyer and it was truly SHOW QUALITY.

It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it...........

that is what I have found out.... some trucks sell for more in certain areas of the country than they do in other parts......

Come to the South and you can get a pretty penny for a nice looking older truck...

I have a 69 shortbox flareside, and since i have only seen 2-3 of them around here i considered it somewhat "rare" and bought it for 350. it ran, but need a clutch and lots of tlc for the body. to me its not about rarity, i like particular body styles over others and thats how it is. It also has a 360 w/3speed on the column, thats about as standard as you can get for that year. I would think that if it is in good shape already and with minimal work you could get 800-1000 for it. B
