Well, this is an open ended discussion and I'm sure everyone
has a different opinion. That's probably what keeps the
World revolving. Buyer's and sellers.
I guess a couple of givens should be tossed out.
1 prices vary regionally
2 there are always anomallies that should not be counted
So...
as an example, what's a rust free, straight, short bed (just the bed)worth??
west coast -- east coast -- in between
First a few things to consider.
Pickups got used, and when they got sold to the next guy,
they got used some more. When the kid down the street
got it, he began beating the $%^& out of and they still
are, more so if it's a 4X.
Rust, beds rust even in the desert.
Hooks extra holes, hauling boulders. All BAD.
So most beds are whooped. If a clean one makes it to a
Pick and Pull they will usually ruin it within a few hours with
their forklift. I have never seen a perfect bed in Pick and Pull.
Soo.. what are they worth. 300$ $500?
Guys in the rust belt are asking and getting a grand. Not just
talking about some insurance buy, but rather hobby guys like us.
If I was to stock pile one hard to find part for future needs or
just to go up in value. It would be Perfect beds. Even though
AM/FM/CBs are a little easier to store.
So stock radios? Wheels? aftermkt parts? Let's hear it.
