mrsmackpaul Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 As these other blokes have said, you'll have to bung up some pictures before anyone could even hazard a guess on value Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post well drill Posted July 13, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2022 I have decided not to sell the truck at this time because of sentimental value. I learned to drive in this truck and used it for a number of years. I also painted it when I was a senior in high school and hope to restore it again. I do want to know the approximate value of the truck and its rarity, I am also possibly looking for a cab in better shape to replace this one in the restoration, preferably from a desert climate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavCut Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Welcome to BMT and thank you for posting the photos. She’s a sharp looking truck @well drill . Your high school paint job probably protected it well. I can’t speak to value or rarity, others much more knowledgeable than me will chime in on that. However, having something from your Dad that you have personal history with is priceless! Unless you have a dozen more tucked in a warehouse someplace it’s one of a kind.

Brocky Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Excellent thought on keeping it!!! Leave it as a drill truck for show, or replace it with a roll back for hobby use??? Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryS Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Definitely a keeper and worthy of a restoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBWhite Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 One of the coolest sounding Diesel engines in my opinion! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Neat piece for sure. I saw it come up on facebook a few days back. Value is a hard thing to place on a vehicle. A lot depends on your location and who happens to want it. Just saw a post on FB about a full frame off B61 sold for $15k(A steal). Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Bullheaded Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 That is an awesome truck! I would keep it just as it is, with the drill rig on it. That would be a cool show truck because you NEVER see anything like that. I love your paint job too. I love that colour/stripe combo. Hope you get her all fixed up.
