Well, .... the good motor would obviously have to run to prove to somebody else that it was a good motor. And even if it is and does run, I'm not sure what help that would even be to making a sale. I'm on board with the other posters suggesting that buyers are probably not going to be interested in an in-line 6. Prospective buyers are probably going to have it yanked, and have V-8 plans. And that's only if they are looking at this truck as a project, and you dont know that they will be. They maybe will only be looking at this thing for parts.
I wouldn't be guessing as to what the buyer is going to be doing with something like this, after they buy it. You never know on that. Someone might buy this truck as a project. There might be that one guy out there that always wanted a 65 and never had a chance to buy one in any better condition at an affordable price. Someone like that, might buy this thing and restore it. Or, there might be that guy out there that has another un-completed 65, and all he needs to complete it is a bed. Someone like that might buy this thing, and only for the bed. He might take the bed off, and scrap the rest.
I'd set your price. What you want out of it. And not worry about it otherwise. Once sold, you have no control over what the next owner will do. No need to be guessing at that.
I'm thinking $900 would be a fare asking price. (IF) the bed is good, as you say. Good, as in, the bed can be re-painted and be as good as new. Not, the floor is good but it's going to need a new bedside. Not that kind of good. That kind of good, might not be of much use to somebody looking for a nice bed.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
