Parked near (definitely not under) a barn at the in-laws place. They are wanting to get rid of it. Probably hasn't been touched in 25+ years.

What is this truck in this condition really worth?

Located 35 minutes southeast of San Antonio.

Replacing the glass is going to be a challenge.

Digging that thing out of the dirt is going to be work.

There are people out there that would buy it right now, in that condition, but its like anything else, its going to depend on how much you are willing to spend.

you may have to pay someone to dig that out and haul it off

I think 3 kinds of people might be interested in this.
-Someone who needs parts, or wants to sell it for parts
-Someone who wants to turn it into something driveable (either a hotrod, or actually try to restore it)
-Someone you have to pay to haul it off to the junk yard

First 2 are probably what you're interested in, and they'd need to inspect it and see how rusted through everything is, and how much is actually salvageable. I would suspect not much. If you had the time and patience, you could contact some shops that deal in these kinds of things and part it out yourself, maybe restore some parts yourself and stuff. But you'd be best off just emailing a bunch of pics to antique car places and people that restore parts and see if anyone wants something.


It actually looks pretty cool. If I was a multi-millionaire with a bunch of free time, I wouldn't mind restoring something like that with a modern engine and interior. Or restore it and turn it into a TowMater

1954, probably very little. My dad restored a 53 and you can buy a fully restored one for far less than he put into his, even before you consider his time. They just made a zillion of them. Maybe 54 is better since that body was only one year. They're neat trucks though!

Sitting down in the dirt like that, lots of rust, you will be lucky to get $500

I see these on Facebook marketplace in that condition for $5,000

Dang heck of a way back machine, that is the first truck I ever drove.
