I have a 1972 c-20 that I am not sure if I want to sell it or restore it. I am the first owner, had the motor bored out (about 15 years ago) to 30 over, and a few other things done. Still have the factory paint, but rust is now a major problem along the rocker area etc. Looking about I am guessing I could only get +-$2000 if I sold it. Not sure I want to invest the time and effort and $$ into restoring it? Maybe just a Maco paint job replace the tail gate (really rusted) & new topper.
Guess the question, is it worth trying to get the truck back into show room condition, or should I just sell it to someone with more interest in a 33 year old truck. It has about 87,000 miles on it, maybe 20,000 since the overhall.
Maco gave me a estimate of about $2000 to fix the rust and paint the outside, I am thinking that the price may have gone up since the estimate, as the tail gats now needs to be replaced, plus I will have to put on a new topper etc etc etc
If I invest $3000/$4000 the truck it still won't be worth what I have to invested in it to get it 'looking' good???? OR WILL IT?
