68 Stepside
 

Hey guys. I'm just asking here what you think my truck is worth. I'm getting a bit discouraged with it. I may consider selling it if I feel I can get enough for it.

68 stepside, paint, interior and resto job in whole is about 4 yrs old, 3.5/5 drop, 350/TH350/3.07 posi. As of right now, the engine is shot. Before I put it on the market, though, I will replace the engine with a new 350 crate engine.

The only thing the truck needs to be "completed" (they never are) is a heat/AC system.

It's worth fixing and keeping. Sorry,probably not what you want to hear. Is there more to this? I know my decisions to sell things are other than a dislike for what I've sod and have yet to sell.

Oddly enough, I'm bored with the truck. It was fun while there was plenty to "fix". Now it's like the only things to fix or upgrade are very expensive. I also have a wife and two sons. With seat belt and child restraint laws, I can't legally ride around my whole family in it anymore. If I sell it, it would replace with some kind of car, like a Chevelle or Camaro. I also need to pay off some debt.

The big thing is, though, I need to know if it's even worth enough to try to sell. If I can get what I need for it, I'll just keep it. I'm not discouraged enough with it yet to give it away.

Matt...I'm in the same boat...bored with my truck:( That's why I bought me a burb
and selling my truck too:D

I can vouch for your truck though....very nicely done...This market is not in a sellers
favor right now, so if you can sit it out I would....but to answer your question....
$20k-$25k with the crate motor or sell it without becuase I think it becomes a really GREAT candidate for an LS swap, but doubt that will get you what you need out of it selling it as a truck w/ no engine....

That's the price range I was worried about. I would need to get at least $33K or it's staying with me. I know that's alot in this market, but again, I'm not really in a positiion that I HAVE to sell it.

BTW Geoff, it has an engine now. It may be bad, but it's still in there. :lol:
