What's it worth?

I know it is hard to put a value to something that can't be seen, but I didn't think to take a camera when looking at this.
I have a chance to buy a 61 F-250 lwb stepside. All original except for the engine, the owner still has the original engine with a low end knock that will go with the pickup. It is a 6 cyl 4 speed truck. The paint and interior is in great shape. The body has no rust and a few small dings on the hood and one rear fender. The odomoter shows 58,000 miles, the owner thinks that there was a time when it was driven with a broken speedo cable and that might not be right but close. It's been kept inside since new. The plates on it expired in 85 when is when they quit using it. The owner does pull it out and drive it around the farm every few months to keep it going.
I don't really have an idea what would be a fair price for this. Any ballpark ideas of what it's worth?

The truck is only worth what you are willing to spend for it, I have found lots of trucks for under 1,000. bucks If the truck is not road worthy, keep looking!! there are good trucks out there for sale.
Good luck with it, and Welcome to the club.
