No worries mate. I think along the lines of the fact they just don't and never will make these trucks again. So how much is something worth, just as much as one is willing to pay. It all depends on what you want but because i have Cab 12 goggles on i think 5K would bring in a better truck than this.

G'day Matt,
I had a look at this truck a few months back while I was working out that way.
From memory, (I'll have to find the photos), the engine is not a Holden, but the correct Chev OHV six.
The brake booster is not original, looks to be Bedford (?) remotely mounted where the LH fuel tank should be.
It is a very neat and tidy truck which IMHO would be an easy restoration. It is outside my budget, and also has the wrong badging, so I would like to see it snapped up.
Cheers, H

G'day Howard,

Thanks very much. It's now on the top of my desirable list! Just gotta work out how to get, 1) the coin, and 2) approval from the Minister for War and Finance!

Cheers,
Matt

Matt I don't think you should feel bad trying to knock the price down a bit. If you can't afford 5k tell him. Your being honest, you want to restore it, not wreck it so it is going to a good home. The truck looks great, I don't think you will regret buying it.
I don't think an offer of 3k is rude. You can always go up if he says no.

Whatever you decide to offer Matt, it's worth knowing this truck has been listed on ebay at some stage. It appears in my saved ebay images, as seen below.

Ah, I remember that truck Tony. Northern Vic wasn't it? Only a few years ago. And around 8k asking price. Or have I got that wrong.
