Sounds overpriced to me. Of course prices vary greatly by region.
A friend recently bought a 59 Chevy in very drivable condition
for $3000. It had cab corner rust. Interior was in real nice
shape. Dash wasn't cut. Had a working deluxe heater. Fenders
were all good. Big back window. Brakes looked good, however
we rebuilt his master and slave cyls just in case. He has been
daily driving it for 3 months with no surprises. This was in
the Houston Texas area.

Subject: [oletrucks] 58 GMC should I ???
Hello everyone,
I am considering buying a 58 GMC
1/2 ton stepside. It is not running but is a complete
truck with a pretty straight body. It does not have a
seat, no bed wood but has the metal strips. It has the
big back window option and is a 4 speed on the floor.
It has been sitting out side for 4 or 5 years with no
cover and is a half rust half paint finish to it.
The front bumper is bent, also there is some rott just
above the windsheild on the pass side from a quarter
size hole in the roof where a antenna was mounted. the
cab corners are rotted out too and it does not have the original wheels
either just spares to roll it around. He is asking $2500 for it, what do you
guys think?? He
said he was able to start it for a bit but the carb was
not getting fuel so it didnt run for more than a few
seconds at a time since he just fed the carb from the top.
I really would like to know what you guys think before
i make a deal on it, thanks in advance for any input.
