Many of these 50+ year old trucks will have been in small to large incidents and you don't hear about diminished value much but it is there, depending upon the quality of the repair. A lot of guys find trucks with evidence of repairs but if they were done right it doesn't seem to affect value. Done incorrectly I would say an educated buyer would want to pay less knowing it would need to be re-done.

I'd get one or two more estimates and if they are all similar press them to pay what it's going to take to make the truck in pre-accident condition. That is what they are supposed to do.
