I'd probably try asking for the price you want WITH the trans first. As you said, you're going to have to find a guy who wants a truck just like that. Pro-street with patina is a small niche. And the guy who sees your vision would likely like a manual and appreciate the M22. If you swap to auto, you WILL open up the market since lots of people like an auto for a "cruiser" pickup and more and more people have never even had a manual transmission....

I think 10-12 would be finding that "right person"

Judging from craigslist, ebay, and sales here....it's likely a 6-8K truck right in the overall market now mainly because of the current economy...too many deals out there...I've seen trucks that have easily 25K in parts in them selling for 10-12K on ebay and craigslist.

I agree......I agree......and I agree! It sucks though because the nicer neighborhoods have the CC&Rs that will not allow for any crap parked in the roads or along side the houses. I also don't want to look like Sanford and Son just came to town.

I did find a place that has 8x8x40 fully enclosed storage units that rent for $125 a month. I could get BOTH rigs in there but now you are looking at $1,500 a year in storage. In 5 years that the value of the truck!!!! Ah....it makes my head spin.
