Re: how much should I ask for this truck
Looks awesome. The mirrors, to me, scream: "I'M NOT STOCK." As the rest of the truck demonstrates, the devil is in the details.

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
Really great truck, don't get me wrong, but 100% stock seems very subjective these days. Mirrors as mentioned, the seat is not original, is that carpet? Paint looks too nice in the pictures to be original. Guess that doesn't mean that it isn't the stock color though. Bumper, wheels and body all seem to be the same color which just seems unusual to me.
What engine? A V8 might add a little value over a /6.
Very nice though, I'd bet that it gets to $6k pretty easily on ebay.
If it were yellow I'd bid on it!
EDIT: Is that $10k offer still around? That was a very good offer IMO.

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
Just scrolled though the build thread. Too bad you took the side trim off. I like the before pictures better than the after pictures, but that's just me.

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
I'd say that, although not "100%" stock, you have restored in in therd200 wrote:100% stock except for the exhaust system.
stock tradition. The truck is gorgeous and I'm with Jim on this one....
$6000 seems like a good price for your D100...


I know I'd be proud to own it.

First picture in the other thread looks like side trim, but I could be wrong. Maybe it's a pin stripe?

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
I believe he stated he was going to add the trim, I could be mistaken. I think the truck is a winner, but I do agree, it would look much better with stem mirrors.EarlKann wrote:Txas2step wrote:Earl, side trim was never on the truck.EarlKann wrote:Just scrolled though the build thread.

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
well 90% stock I never thought about the seat,carpet and Mirrors. I need to find a set of stem mirrors if I decide to keep it.
Thanks for the imput. I was hoping to hear around 10 to 12 I would never sell it for 6

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
How does the engine compartment and undercarriage look? The only sweptlines that I see going for 10k+ are either supremely detailed, body off repaint, frame and undercarriage totally done and nice, or ultra low mile 100% stock unmolested originals. BigDad, 68Shorty, Miatasportscar, behindthebadge, and that super low mile 71 sweptline special are high end to me.rd200 wrote:well 90% stock I never thought about the seat,carpet and Mirrors.

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
My '61 is original except for the tailgate ,replaced floors, rockers( although they really did not need replacing...few pin holes). Added period correct bumpers.trim,etc. Drive line is original and has new or rebuilt brakes,suspension etc. Engine is original with freshened bearings,oil,fuel, water pump,etc. Repainted basecoat/clear coat and very little surface body filler (to smooth out). Frame is re-done except under cab. All gauges work, new oem turn signal switch, white wheel. Has chrome smoothies but I have a complete set of powder coated original wheels and poverty caps. My truck is not 100% original, has things added that were not there, but "period correct" IMO. Seat is a later design but what I like. I have more than $10k in my truck( and I don't care). Being the 1st year, swb I think it has a bit more value than others. I would not consider anything less than $10k if it was for sale.EarlKann wrote:How does the engine compartment and undercarriage look?

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
No offense to anyone I left out!
Yours is great too. Some of the hotrod builds here are also very nice. There just aren't enough pictures of the OP's truck to be able to tell if it's worth more.

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
I love this truck! Not a fan of bug eye trucks but this one changes my opinion. Looks great! Not sure what the going rate would be though, sorry. Usually completely stock is the most rare and worth the most but this try k is close enough that if Simone wanted to go that direction it wouldn't be hard to get there.
Again, very nice

Re: how much should I ask for this truck
I'd pay you 5-6K maybe a lot more for it and pick it up today if I had the cash. I hope you can't sell it for a month or so as I may have cash then. I am looking for a California tagged shortbed that is clean like that. I, like many others, care little about "pure stock" as I'll be doing mods to it anyway.
I'd like to say good luck with the sale, but I hope nobody wants it so I can grab it up later this summer.
Nice truck.
