63 GMC good buy?

[Bobby277]

Hey all.

My old 68 c20 is up for sale and I've been looking for a different truck.

Recently I discovered a family friend who owns a 1963 GMC Truck. It is a step side long bed, which I thought to be odd and a wood bed inside. The truck is a manual 4 speed with a 280 something the guy said lol. It is salmon pinkish colored, and supposedly has like 50,000 original miles on it. He said it has minimal rust and the only spots were by two of the wheel wells.

It hasn't moved or even been touched in the last 15 years or so he said, but it has been kept in his garage that entire time. Ran when parked one of those deals!

He won't give me a price but he said he'd sell it to me, and I know that he payed 500 dollars for the truck 15+ years ago and never really drove it. Bought it as a project and never tore into it.

SO my question to you all is what do you think a fair price for it is?

And are there any unforeseen expenses that could arasie? (Other than a good going through, service, and maybe some tires)

Will post pics when I go to look at it! Thanks guys.
