HeavyGunner Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hey guys, I need to know what would be a fair price on a 1957 B 753LT. No rust, and no major dents, the hood is rough though ( i am sure you could find minor dings but nothing major) tractor ran about 11 years ago and has been since stored either in a shop or under a lean too on the shop. I think the truck is in great shape for an unrestored truck. Yes this is my truck, regretfully I need to sell it. I havent had the time nor likely will have the time/money or a garage or shop to work on it anytime soon so I am putting it up for sale and the proceeds are going to my grandfather with alzheimers (who I inherited it from) who recently had a stroke. He is home and living independently but since I really have no time or means to restore the truck I felt selling it and giving my grandmother the money would be the right thing to do. So any help on what a fair price for the truck would be would be much appreciated. HGP.S. Even if my truck sells I am still going to hang out here.P.S.S. P.M. me if you need any additional information and check out my gallery, it has some pics of the truck. Yes the fenders are off but every piece is there.

dover Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Sorry to hear about your grandfather and sorry you have to let the truck go. I paid 2k for a semi running B733. The only good glass is the driver windshield and door. I believe I made a steal on mine. I would think you shold be able to get 3 to 5k, just my guess. When I open your gallery it says it is empty???Ben Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27834-need-help-on-pricing-a-b-model/#findComment-141887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Maybe it's under my garage. I will try and check tonight, doesn't seem to have my garage on the phone here.

Jamied625 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 the pictures are under his vehicle tab, and I agree 3-5K would probaly be where it lies, but on another note what is the deal with the tag on the interior that says " Dept. of interior. Indian affairs" do you know the history of the truck?

HeavyGunner Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 My grandpa told me years ago that the truck had been used as an oiler for chip sealing highways in the Flathead valley. That is why he said the miles are so low (53k if I remember right). I cannot attest to that mileage being correct but I think it's believable when you look at the minimal wear on the floor boards and pedals but again I can't guarantee the mileage.

dover Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ahh, I found them. Its not a bad looking truck. Is it a twin screw, or is that a tag? And what kind of suspension is that?Ben Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27834-need-help-on-pricing-a-b-model/#findComment-142003 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I hope the money you get helps. My Grandmother had what we think was an undetected miny stroke about 10 years ago that caused her to slip into an alzheimers like state. She can't remember much of anything anymore and doesn't recognise any of us anymore. Its a sad thing to watch happen to someone that you love.Ben Quote 1962 B733 L cab Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27834-need-help-on-pricing-a-b-model/#findComment-142012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
