I am wondering what a 1961 to 1972 Ford Truck would cost with no motor or transmission, light rust, and needing interior work?

from $300 to $3000 depending on the model and mileage

The thing about these year models, are rust detouration and parts availability. Front end wise you have to figure brakes, wheel bearings, most likely "king pins" all being worn. King pins are a Bastard to get out. Then goes the engine delima, if you go with a newer engine tranny combo, then you have to fit motor mounts for a small block, most had the FE engine design from factory until very late 60's. Naturally have to go in with a manifold or header and exhaust.
Body wise, it is good like the other person said, crawl under and observe the shape of the underside. My dad has a 68 F100, the drivers side floorpan is totally out and had to install another, also the cab has rusted out the mounting supports, more will have to be made to mount correctly.
These are tough trucks but one in very bad shape to begin with is alot of work, frusteration and money, to get back into condition to drive daily, let alone just for a knockaround...

Don't think that without the tranny and motor it will be really cheap... These trucks get harder and harder to find. I would say offering 800 to 1100 is fair, depending on how bad you want it and if it is restorable. Check for frame damage by laying under the vehicle. Follow the frame and make sure there are no major damage areas. This is expensive to fix. Find a good mechanic if you don't feel confident sizing up the job!

It has been my experence you will never even get your labor hours out of a resto project like that when it comes time to sell. It would be cheeper to buy one already built and restored inside and out. You can haul away a junk truck for almost free down here in texas with almost no rust. Twin I beam truck suspension is easy. A/C 460 cubic inch engine replacment and supercharger "would not want a slow truck" new C-6 trans and rear end headers exhaust system wheels tires custom brakes. carpet door seals window gaskets glass window channels nice radio and you have spent almost $20,000 and 15,000 hours of your time just doing it. Great job for father and son starting with his 14 th birthday. So it will be done 2 years latter.

Depending on the year and the level of wear on the truck's interior and exterior. The truck could be sold at lowest $500 or at highest $5,000. But without looking at pictures, it is hard to make an assumption on how good or bad the trucks shape is in.

probably around 500 just for the body of it ,as long as its got a good body on it,those trucks did rust a lot so look in all the right places for rust,but it should easily bring around 500 for a project truck,that's the going price now for anything that's going to be a project,good luck with it.

Should cost no more than $500...try going to local auto auctions that are listed in the Legal Announcement section of your paper. You might get lucky.

Figure out what it would cost you to restore. You could probably make someone happy just to haul it away for nothing!
