I'm not sure how everyone else feels, but $40k for a base model truck seems crazy. And I would expect it to be 100% un-molested. But this one clearly has had gauges swapped in the dash plus the add on gauges and wheels and front end....

Cort I tend to agree with you there, but I think the overall value of a clean, complete, rust free rig is there to the right buyer... Obviously the SWB's and the K10's are the big dollar trucks right now, but for a fan of early square burbs that one might be the right price. In the realm of "ya can't build it for that" this one may come close to breaking out... but have you seen the price of a quality paint job lately!
I also feel like these burbs are in the ever increasing market of high dollar/high nostalgia family haulers. The Toyota FJ 60's, Grand Wagoneers, early Land Rovers etc. are commanding higher and higher prices as the 40-60 yr old well off crowd has already amassed their collection of early Porsche's, E30 M3's and a first gen Camaro or two and are now looking for something to load up and head out to the lake house with the wife, dogs and kids/grandkids in tow... These rigs take them right back to their childhood and good money is being paid for these things right now. Also don't forget about the overseas market. Squarebodies are HUGE in the middle east (Saudi Arabia, UAE)
