Good heavens grab it before someone else does!
Look in the classifieds here for comparables then offer the seller less. Assume the engine is toast and then be happy if it still runs.
Those pictures look like farm country and that battery looks like it came off a tractor.

And a 12 volt one to boot, could be some leverage while negotiating if the electrical system is cooked.
Nice looking truck from here, lots of potential for a sympathetic clean up and mechanical restoration.

Alot depends on the condition of the bed and cargo floor underneath, many trucks end up filled with crap when stored and the retained moisture rots out the deck and floor, repairing that is far from cheap or easy.

Looks pretty original. engine has a governor which is kinda rare for the 40hp. The tilt and canvas are a very nice plus. Scoour the classifieds here to get an idea of what is being asked for thm and their condition. Geography plays a small role in it's value as well.

That is a great looking truck, good to see another one here in the corn/soy belt

| If the sticker on the extreme left of the dash is any indication, it's has an m-coded 12-volt system. |

Sweet find looks very nice. I wouldn't hesitate to drop 12k on it right now. Its probably worth quite a bit more when its cleaned up.
Looks to be mostly if not all original paint.
How honest do you want on a a value?
Stop collecting data and go buy it for a fair price as you are going to leaving the door open for others to swoop in.
I had that happen personally on an all original Sealing Wax Red 1963 Single Cab with 60k original miles several years ago.

Nice! I would jump on it in that condition and with that low mileage.
Ruby Red
Low mileage
12-volt option ( very uncommon for a '63)
Bed wood is still intact
Hoops and canvas
Damn...
Looks like a 1500cc engine to me (1963 option)
1500cc air cleaner, governor, and so on.
