Fair price for this bed and tailgate
Longbed with a roll pan. Pretty straight in and out. No major faults. Front cross piece is straight. Just small fixable dents on taigate and bed floor. Very little bowing. I'm not sure I will sell it yet. I'm still deciding if I'm going to replace it with a later style dually bed or not. Bed will have to be picked up and removed from truck. Includes Factory auxilliary tank and all mouldings you see on bed and tailgate. What is a fair price in Nor Cal.

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
Bummer you are clear over there. That would sell for quite a bit here. Probably worth it's weight in scrap over there where there is no rust.

Does the roll pan take away from the value of the bed or add to it? I don't know why the PO added the roll pan. I would prefer to have a bumper.

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
I see boxes like that for $600 to $750 in the midwest. You usually don't get a tailgate with that either. The roll pan wouldn't improve the price one bit in my opinion, depending on how easy it would be to change it back. Lot's of work would be a deduction.

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
A 3,000 mile trip if he stays,6,000 if he goes home.
Truck beds still get wrecker or beat up even if they are where things don`t rust.So,they`re always worth something.From what I`ve seen,not being in California,is they go for at least 4-500 dollars,as much as eight.They don`t make repros.But,if they did,they`d cost as much in AZ as they would in MI. Edit:w/o tailgate

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
i've seen that truck and the bed is very nice for it's age. i paid 350 for my long bed several years ago without the tailgate and auxillary tank. even out here it should be worth 600-800 to someone looking for a straight bed. some guys might even like the rollpan personally, i'd put it back stock. a slammed 2wd with a rollpan does look kinda cool though

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
Well, I have 10 hrs to decide if I am going with this swap. If I don't buy the newer dually bed then this truck is going on the backburner to continue working on my blue truck again.
Maybe I should have saved all the nice bedsides I came across over the last couple of years and put them in a flatbed headed east. You should have seen the long bedsides at a wrecker here a few months back. They were completely disassembled and looked brand new, even the original paint shined. The steel bed floor had no dings but was bowed from people walking on it (was already separated from the bedsides). They asked me to make them an offer on them as they needed the parts out ASAP because they didn't have a title. I don't lnow what they did with the cab. I think it was crushed. They were going to crush the other parts if they didn't sell it that day. I'm not sure if someone bought them. I had no use or room for them and didn't know there was a demand for long bedsides.

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
If there we repro beds, we all know most of them would be crap, anyways. Look at repro has tanks. "Just like the original" my @ss.

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
Well, I'm sure you have rust over there, and I was exadurating a little, but over here, we have rust that'll make the gas tank fall out, or the seat fall onto the frame. I saw one a few months ago in a junk yard where the floor of the bed was so weak, the bed fell down over the frame. Even an '80's Toyota truck that broke in 1/2 from rust.
THAT's What i'm talking about as far as rust. I've seen people on here from SoCal who see pics of rusted cab corners and ask if it is really worth fixing up being such a rust bucket... another guy from the southwest somewhere asking how hard a cab swap is becouse it needed a rocker panel. I know there are rusty vehicles out there, but west coast vehicles are generally 10 times better than anything in the rust belt. As far as pricing, at work we are completing the restoration (I'm using that word for lack of better terms) a 1989 S-10 POS. The bed on it was not secured to the frame at all and would shift an inch or so from side to side when you'd take corners. I literally disconnected the filler neck, and tail light harness and a couple ground straps, and flipped the bed off. We started looking for a replacement short bed for a first generation S series. Ended up paying 1200 bucks for a decent one from a guy in Michigan who goes to GA to get parts. That was after 4 months of calling yards all over Ohio and into indiana and kentucky. So yeah, rust free parts (or minimally rusted parts) are worth big bucks here in the midwest. |

Re: Fair price for this bed and tailgate
Well, I didn't purchase the bed, so I guess I'll leave this truck alone for now until I install the engine. Thanks for all the input.

This is the bed I wanted to buy. I spoke to him on the phone and he said he would take certain measurements for me, specially the measurement from the front to the center of the wheel well. I'm not sure if the wheelbases were close to ours on the newer trucks. I never got the measurements from him so I held back on bidding. Someone got a good price. Anyway, it'll give me more time to think about it. The thread on duallies got me going, specially the picture of the black 72 Dually with the 90's rear fender.
