Any idea what it's worth?

The one in the first picture with the dump bed, probably around 5 grand. The one in the second picture, probably 1,500 to 3 grand depending on how complete it may be.

It is really, REALLY cool, that's what it is!  Looks like a chopped top from the factory.

Are you referring to the pictures in the link or the pic that I posted?

both. The picture is about 5 grand, the one in the flickr link is 1500 to 3000 depending on what's left of the truck. My prices are what i would pay, i buy and sell allot of vehicles and am willing to walk away from a deal.....Sellers need to remember, if the vehicle was running it would have a higher value, but not running there is allot of money that needs to be put into the car/truck. So buying something that isn't running for 5 grand, you will have another 3 to 10 grand just getting it road worthy...

I have no idea if it runs. By the looks of it I would suggest it doesn't. I totally agree with it being worth less if it doesn't run. I was thinking 1500-3000 for the one I posted. everything that is rubber will need to be replaced and the box/bed is obviously from a different era.  I'm not trying to sell, I was interested in buying. Not sure if 1500-3000 is out of line or not. I just don't want to offend anyone by offering way lower that its worth.

Offer small then go big can't reduce the offer after it's out there

Always remember it never hurts to make an offer that is inline with your budget. Chances are, the owner doesnt have a bunch of people beating down his door or it would be gone. I think your offer is reasonable and whether the owner accepts or denies it, is up to them. Atleast you know where you are willing to go.....If you offer 3 and they try to increase the sale price, explain to them how much it's going to cost just to get it running and then road worthy. That doesn't include any resto costs......People need to really think about that, 3 grand to buy, another 3 grand just to get it up and running.......that's 6 grand.
