Re: What would a fair offer be on this K20 (aka WIW) - pics inside
About 2/3 to 1/2 what he`s asking.I`d want it to be less than what the combined good parts are worth.Otherwise,you could gather all the parts and have the same thing.How`s the frame,other than a bad crossmember.Any leaks?How`s the motor?I sold my CheyenneSuper for that much and all it needed was rockers and work on the doors.It had no motor.But,if that motor isn`t pretty fresh,then you can find a used motor for a couple few hundred bucks.
I guess I`d say considering what these go for,in the overall scheme of things,that price ain`t all that bad.Compared to what people are asking these days.You won`t find one better at that price.But,it`s ridiculous that people thing every 67-72 truck is worth good money.It`s all bright and yellow,looks good from afar.But,when it comes down to it,all it is is a start on a resto,a rolling frame with drivetrain,or a truck you can have fun with for a while until pieces start falling off or stuff starts falling out the rust holes.
$3,500 is just alot of money unless a good bit of money has been put into mechanics,like front end,brakes,motor,steering.If all it took was swapping a good body on there,that`s one thing.Still alot for a donor.What will the rustfree truck cost for the swap?I see an old truck with so-so mechanics/driveability and a decent body for $7,000-$10,000 after alot of labor.
