When I bought my first 67-72 29 years ago, I paid $250 for it, and it was running with a good engine. There were lots of small parts on it that I simply didn't have to worry about since they weren't worn out. Our trucks are getting pretty old now, so almost every part has to be reconditioned or replaced when doing a restoration or rehabilitation. It makes sense that our trucks, when restored, demand a higher price nowadays because of this. I don't understand why old rusted out and neglected beaters seem to be commanding high prices though. On the other hand, I see the same old junkers listed for sale month after month, so maybe these highly priced listings aren't reality.
