whats it worth?
 

I just ran across a '73 C20 PS TH400 Auto and Hee Hee a freshly rebuilt 454 :metal: The truck has 120,000 documented miles and the trans was gone through about 15,000 ago, It also has all new brakes Chrome 16" wheels and 80 percent tread tires. The original owner was asking $1200 but he will take $800 because he needs to get rid of it and likes what I have done with Screamin' and my 74 C20.

I figure put the big block and TH400 in Screamin' then toss the SBC and TH350 into this '73 C20 so its still usable.

Any thoughts, whats a good 454 and TH400 worth? any problems with the '73 vintage 454s?

Unfortunately I don't have pics at this time but it really is nothing to look at.

If the motor and transmission are solid then you have a smoking deal. Buy the truck and part out what you don't need. You might actually make a profit off of the deal....

Take it. I would.

Went and took some pics yesterday, they are poor qualiy as I loaned out my good camera, but you get the idea.

:jdp: :jdp: fi that truck is as clean as it looks then its worth 4 or 5 times as much as he is asking so if i were you i would be on my way to his house right now with cash in hand

you gonna sell the 454/400 after you buy the truck?

truck looks really nice :cool:

dddddddaaaaaaaaaa buy the darn thing yank drive train and sell truck complete for 800.00 then you can call the 454/400 a fffffrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee bbbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeee

That's really cheap, I'd be all over it if I had the opportunity.

Restore It And It Will Be Worth Alot More

Buy it now!
 

The core on a big block is $500. Sounds like a great deal. I know gas prices are climbing every week but if you want a big block you won't get in one any cheaper. You better jump on it before it's gone. B.B.

that's a steal, my post would be sayin "look what i just drove home for $800" :lol: you better :bansex: on that one!

you're right, the market for early 3/4 ton trucks is booming right now! especially ones with excessively large engines, no overdrive, no fuel injection, and no real options to speak of. :dum:

Dude, uncool :rolleyes:

I'd tend to agree, not nessessary!

However, I'd be all over that truck for 800 US, that truck is easily worth 5 grand up here in Alberta in that kind of shape with a big block!

sorry, just stating the facts. there isnt a big market for 30 year old 3/4 ton trucks. with that said, the only way you'll be able to get mine away from me is to pry the keys from my cold dead hand, and praythat i dont haunt you for doing so. they're great trucks to have, and can be loved just as much if not more than a run of the mill 1/2 ton. if you think you're going to restore a 3/4 ton, and make some money, you've got a lot to learn about the truck market.

I'm not gonna restore it, never said I was. I own a cherried out 74 c20 and and Screamin' my 71 pictured below, which I would love to drop the big block in.

Just thought publically calling somebody :dum: was uncalled for.

Guess what I just drove home for $800.00 bucks!!! :hm:


:metal: and both tanks are full!!! :metal:

You got a DEAL!!!

Great buy!! Congrats!! :metal:

awesome score man! if you keep it, enjoy it. if you sell it, i'd say you could make $800-$1000 on it (easy) and maybe even $1500+, that's a clean truck.

$800?????????? That baby don't look half bad! Congrats on the find.

Just the two tanks being full added another 100.00 in value these days. Nice Score.... :cool:
