I have a very nice 69 C10 LWB that has always been garaged since it was professionally painted 5 years ago. "Professionally painted" along with a new grille, bumpers, and American-made trim means it's probably not worth what my son and I have in it. But from what I've seen, I'd guess it's worth at least $25K. And even prior to the paint and body work, we had two offers in the $15K range, despite the clear coat peeling off from a previous paint job and the rusted drip rails! No, that's not my shop in the picture!
On another note, I had an 82 C10 short bed with original paint, a few dents, and a little rust that I sold 2 years ago. I probably had $8K-$9K in that truck and thought it was worth only $5K-$6K. But, as it turned out, a guy on the GM Square Body forum said he'd pay "$7,500 or more" for it. After he came to see it several months later, we settled on $8,500, including some spare parts. Looking back, I probably could have sold it for even more.
You might want to try posting your questions on the 67-72 Chevy truck forum to see what those guys say. Trucks with original paint are what lots of guys like to start with, or even drive as-is.
