i dont know about in texas, but up here in washington, if it has a good frame, good body and all it needs is a motor, it usually will sell anywhere from $250-500. there are a few running ones up here thet are $500-700 but there bodies are kind of old, good bodied and good runing ones up here sell for about $1k. I really wish I had more room for more trucks cuase I would buy 2 and make an ext cab.
it also really is up to you, how badly do you need parts, if you need it badly offer him like 400, if you want to play the dealing game start at 300. also talk to the guy and find out if he just doesnt want it anymore, or if he was planning on fixing it, but fast cash sounds better to him the fixing.
almost all of the cars I have purchased didnt run and I never got to test drive it before I got it, even if it usually sells for lower, it is kind of a person to person thing, my 71 valiant came from a guy that his family owned it since brand new, I got it from him for 800, when if it was someone else, I prolly could have gotten it for 500, but his car had history.
hope this helps,
Mike
