The 1/2-tons are generally worth more than any of the bigger trucks because
to most people they are more desirable and more collectible. Same value as
a 1/2-ton? No, I don't think so.
As for street rod material that's another matter. The 3/4-ton frame is
narrower at the rear and allows wider tires if that's what you want. The
frame rails become parallel a lot closer to the front than on the 1/2-ton
trucks, which makes it easier to modify the length of the frame. If you
want to build a street rod a 3/4 might be a good place to start.
Without knowing a lot more about it I don't know how to comment on the
price. Its not hard to imagine spending that much restoring any truck, but
I can't imagine paying that much for a 3/4-ton. But that's just my opinion
and I'd bet anyone with that much in a 3/4 might have a different opinion...
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
