Like all such questions, it's tough to say precisely and
it clearly depends on condition.
There are three factors:
1) rarity
2) condition
3) collectability
The problem with big trucks is that they are not so popular (collectable) as
light duty trucks. This to some extent offsets the fact that this
truck is very rare.
The condition is easier to calculate into the equation because it
is easier to estimate time and materials to bring it up to snuff
than it is to estimate what someone else will pay for the finished
product.
A year ago this price range would be high for a truck in top condition.
Interest seems to have been building though and I think it might be a
good range now. If I am right, you have to take that range and subtract
the cost of repair.
Just an opinion. Maybe the other one or two known owners will have one as
well.
Good Luck. If you get it, you will definitely have fun.
