You're in a sad place, hope the healing will begin, time is your friend there.

Unfortunately time is not you friend with the truck. The love affair for these kinds of vehicles has a fairly specific audience...………………….old guys like many of us on here. We're in that age category where health issues and end of life are a very real thing. As a result the number of people willing to buy this type of car, and especially a project where the sellers only have passing knowledge, is a shrinking audience. Projects have always been more difficult to sell than running vehicles, but you've got what you've got. Some help with identifying some of the components: Looks like a TCI independent front end. TCI is a fairly well respected component manufacturer so that's a small plus, the rear axle looks like a 9" Ford on parallel mounted springs, perhaps TCI suspension at that end too. Chevrolet V8 and auto transmission. People will want to know if it's rebuilt, and if you have receipts/build documentation that would be a plus. Sheet metal looks reasonably good, though the grill looks like it's a reproduction which will be a turn off for the well informed/picky as those normally don't fit well. After that it's a matter of how many of the "little" parts are available because there are lots of them and costly to acquire bit by bit. The why behind the lower enthusiasm for projects and that reflects on the pricing.

And pricing will be the thing that will cause you the most grief. I'm going to get very blunt here, and you don't know me, so you likely won't like what I'll say. You're going to get suggested values from all sorts of well intentioned people who don't know what they're talking about. They think they do, and that makes them difficult to learn from. The market for these still has buyers in it, BUT you can't just advertise in one place because those buyers are hard to find and there are no silver bullet answers. Some people will tell you a low value number, and too many will give you an incorrect but tempting high value number. If somebody tells you it's worth $20k they're full of crap. They'll tell you that they've seen them frequently advertised for "big money". What they fail to realize/mention is that that was 15+20 years ago when the market was strong, or that yeah, sellers are asking that kind of money, but they're not finding buyers that agree with them. Asking prices mean nothing for the most part. I'll give you my opinion, but it's just that, an opinion of someone who is not a buyer. And the hard pill to swallow for some is, only those with money in their hand, standing in front of you, holding it out for you to take, are the ones who you will sell to. Talk it cheap, and there's more of it out there than useful. Personally, my belief is that in today's market, and it's going down steadily, meaning it will just keep going down, you'd be lucky to get somewhere between $5-10k. You may find a folder of receipts for way more than that, and you'll easily find people that say that's a crazy number, but I used the word "lucky" for a reason. You're smart to do some research to help you and your family, and keep doing that despite all the conflicting stuff you'll hear. But try to be realistic.
