    Jeez, I wonder if he's been hitting the bong water a bit hard?



    Bent frame, parts only, "the hood alone is worth the BIN"...yeah, sure, whatever.



    He'll be lucky to get a $500 start bid, IMO.

    C'mon guys, it still casts a pretty good shadow. So the frame is gone in the dogleg. They all are and need to be welded up. Buy it cheap and 'Git 'er Done!'

    The fenders look pretty good compared to many I've seen. 3K is steep, but I wouldn't be suprised at 1/2 that.

    More than a bit 'rough', although I have seen worse - one about a month ago on eBay too. The seller want about $1000 for that one, it didn't sell.

    Considering the amount of work needed, the BIN appears to be overpriced. My guess is that it will go for $700-900 range.

    Looks like the bed has 'met' the cab, causing a bit of damage to both.

    Am curious as to what is holding both 'pieces' together... From the looks of it, can't be too much - wouldn't want to move this too much before bracing or supporting it, in any case.

    Looks like my guess was closest - $535.00...not even double its scrap value.

    Yea, with that obviously 'rust customized' frame, it wasn't going to get any high bids... It is probably well worth the sales price, just for the parts.

    The biggest expense will be transporting it - unless the buyer happens to be local and has the equipment to move it.

    "And remember, with a little bit of Rust-eze (and an insane amount of luck), you too can look like me." Here's a pin-up to to encourage restoration, it's a truck out of California.
