A couple of streets from my house there is a chevy flat bed for sale.The sign says 4,500.00 in my opiion its incredibly overpriced .
Just curious of your thoughts.I only paid 300.00 for my 53 half ton back in 1996 has prices on these truck inflated that much?

It's a lot more than I'd pay. Looks like 6-lug front and 5-lug rear? With 80's style gauges, steering column and gas pedal?

maybe $2500.00 . but I paid $800.00 for my girl you see to the left. I gues its all in what you want and how bad you want it. I should have walked away from mine but couldn't.
wide as that wheel pattern looks like a ford rear.

That rear end could be from the same truck that gave up the dash and column. Full size have 5 on 5" pattern just like a ferd. That's a mess!

And I wouldn't have walked away from your truck. I'm sick for the '54/55S1s.

The rear end is a Chevy 10 bolt and it has 8" wide Chevy rally wheels .The bed is too long for the frame so they extended it by a foot. It has a 350/350 combo probably out of the same car as the rear end . The dash is really some thing else. I couldn't see paying more than 1,500 for this truck.

Kustom shackles in the rear as well.

I figure a lot of the value must be in the leather dash and gauge cover and ecclectic gauge package. It also looks light the rear cab corner has been cut off too.

I think that rear cab corner may have rusted out.

I'd be hard pressed to want to give 1500 for it let alone 4500 but all these guy seem to think that their stuff is made of gold these days.

That said I bought a one ton and a one and a half ton yesterday both with titles but no engines for 100 for the pair. One has a decent cab and the other has the parts of the cab I need for my rebuild plus I got four good doors and a lot of scrap iron to haul off.

I do have to make one way sixty mile trips to go get them though so that will run the price up a bit plus I'll have to buy my buddy gas, lunch and a days supply of Pepsi to get him to help.
