800-1000,tops. Best part,if the kiddo likes it,let him learn how to fix it.If not, let him cruise it,until he earns something better.

The red dart in my avatar pic is his, /6 body pretty nice. He was thinkin about selling the dart. I know he's lookin for a little more in the go department. Plus he likes trucks.

If its going to be a daily driver, he will quickly realize just how much work it is to drive one of these trucks, especially if it has a 3/4'ton suspension!! I drove one daily for about 3 years and that kingpin front beam was a constant arm wrestle!! Bounced all over the road without a load on too, but loved to haul weight!! Sucks gas like a drunken sailor too, no matter what engine is in it!!

$1500 ain't a horrible price, but $1200ish would be nicer!!

I noticed no power brakes, and I wouldn't doubt no pwr steering. I wouldn't want to daily drive it.

I think it's worth the asking price, if the engine has, in fact, been gone through. Otherwise, I think the $800-1K is dead on. Neat truck. My boss just bought a '66 shortbed, that he paid $700 for. It was not running, nor anywhere near it, 383 2bbl.

He also bought a '62 shortbed, /6, 4 spd granny box, manual choke, paint buffed up ok, 10 year old paint and engine re-ring. Paid $2500.

See if he'd take $1200.

Ya my thought if the engine was really that good that would be most of the value of it. He seems like he might take $1400. Personally I'm thinking the son should pass on it. I think $1000 would be the most I'd consider, but I only buy when I get a deal.
