It will bring whatever the market will bear my friend. I know that's not what you want to hear but it is so true. Look around and see what similar trucks are bringing. Keep in mind thats "BRINGING" not asking price. If you started with a solid truck, and have had nothing but quality work done to it, people will recognize this. Of course there is always some joker who really wants to try to lowball you and pay much less than something is worth. But hey haven't we all wanted something as cheap as we can get it. Another question is do you really want to sell it or are you just feeling the market. If you really want to sell it, price it to move. If not, price it high enough where you won't regret letting it go. If you are afraid of to much of a loss pull some parts from it. There is always someone trying to sell a high mileage V8 for next to nothing. Pull your motor and save it for another project. Pull your wheels off and replace them with some rallies or something similar. The possibilities are endless. Just make sure that you are happy with the end result.

How could you get board with that truck

? It's so nice. Weren't you looking into a twin turbo setup for it? Keep moving on it. I think if you sell it, you will regret it. You did the paint and work yourself...why give it up?

JMO but I think you should keep it.
If I had the money I would come up to NY and buy it off of you...but I don't suppose you will take $4,000 for it

?

Good luck with whatever you decide.

i SEEN A TRUCK CLOSE TO THAT ONE. nOW WE HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR INTERIOR. HOWEVER, THIS TRUCK WAS SELLING FOR 16,000 IT WAS VERY NICE AND CUSTOM LIKE YOURS.. SEPT THE GUY DIDN'T WANT TO SELL.. HE WAS MARRIED AND BABY COMING.. YOU KNOW

if you are bored with that, you need to check your pulse.
I know what you mean though, you probably like the actual building and planning of a rig more than the actual rig it's self...I had a buddy like that in high school.

i'd say your best bet it taking it to large shows where people show up with money to spend
my personal feelings are the lack of a hood and the tall scoop severley affect the price you'd be able to get for it. that's just my opinion

Ebay people expect too much of a deal. I agree that you should look into selling it at shows. There you will find people that appreciate vehicles more and are more knowlegable about cool rides. Hemmings could be an alternative.
