Sorry, might be long.
My grandfather bought a 1930 Ford AA truck new. They used it to haul cattle and grain. I guess that would make it a stake bed? Anyway, when my uncle started farming grandpa gave it to him. He used it daily to feed cattle right up until 1990. He put it up on blocks at the back of the shed and there she sits.
My uncle is now 75 or so. I told my mother to talk with him about the truck when she sees him as I want to keep it in the family(the family isn't real close - I haven't seen him in 20 years). He will likely want a ton of money for it as he's not always reasonable, but it needs to stay in the family. There are no other family members that are interested.

The fenders all have cracks and dings you would expect from a farm vehicle that was used for 60 years. There wasn't anything wrong with it mechanically, although from sitting it would need gone through. The interior is a few mouse nests and some seat springs.
My uncle would like to have gold for it I am sure, but I am hoping it will be reasonable. For those of you with these old vehicles, what is the proverbial barn find worth?

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
