good deal?

[chevyfan87]

i found this truck for sale...the guy seems to think its in worse shape than it is, because he is asking 700obo. the body is solid it just has a few dents and needs paint...badly, but it runs great with the factory 305 4bbl long tube headers, true duals, 33's(in need of replacement). has dented bedsides (tree limb fell on top) the front bumper, bezels, lights, and anything else i missed are in the truck, or the back body....also comes with a set of spare long tubes and brand new reducers

its an 81 gmc 4x4

[Ivan D.]

if it runs good and cab is solid I'd get it

[old Rusty C10]

but it sounds like a decent deal try low ball first and go up to his price he may say yes to $500

[dilbert]

700obo....i think its pretty good

[chevyfan87]

im planning on trying 500...selling my s-dime with a toasted 4.3 to get money...

[old Rusty C10]

that truck is in better shape than mine was when i got it.. id jump on it as long as it runs right im going to PM ya

[chevyfan87]

runs perfect...and i already have a performer intake and carb to dump onto it haha, maybe it will smooth out the edges a little

[old Rusty C10]

lol i had the same junky billet grille on mine too when i bought it and promptly put back the old stock one lol

[chevyfan87]

i would go back to stock but....he doesnt have it and i dont like the GMC grille so...eh

[chevyfan87]

back to the top WOOO

[chevyfan87]

so...what kind of gas mileage should i expect? im pulling the 33's for 31's, and the 2bbl and stock intake are being replaced with a performer intake and performer 600cfm carb....any ideas? already has headers and free flowing exhaust so im hoping for maybe 12?

How you drive can make all the difference between 20 and 10 mpg.

I wouldn't buy the truck b/c of the bed.

[79gmcsierragrande]

I'm running 31's with the stock 4bbl carb on a 350 with headers and a free flow and I'm lucky to get 10 city and I don't want to talk about hwy. Luckily I only dive 3miles to work every day.

3 mpg

[chevyfan87]

okay...be serious now haha....3 would make me cry

My 87 1 ton gets 10 at best while driving in 2wd and the lockouts not engaged. It's fuel injected 350, TH400, NP205, D60 front, 14 bolt rear. No idea what gear ratio is in there. It has LT tires about the same size as 31's would be if side by side, but I'm planning on throwing a set of 33's on her maybe this weekend, depending on what lug nuts are going to cost. I'm kinda strapped for cash right now due to my daughter's cell phone bill.

[84 400]

I get 10 to 12 and am 2wd but have a slightly different set up.
Not to bad for an ME truck
Looks like it has been beat on pretty good and a bit of bondo but all and all A nice project. Daily driver? Restore? driver/offroader? Looking at it are you into offroading? ( I am always looking for trails I know of some down in Sanford but now can't remember)

[chevyfan87]

it is very solid....not as much bondo as it looks, i knocked around a little and its mostly metal. daily driver hopefully...but i plan on playing on some trails with it...why not haha...i know my fair share of trails up here, and the ones i dont know, i probably will soon. it has been beat but for the price....what hasn't? wish me luck on selling my s-10, as that is the only thing between me and buying this truck

[shrtbx]

Looks like a good deal to me.

[chevyfan87]

ttt

[84 400]

yeah sure does not look to bad. Still I would keep up on cregs list. Here in NH people are giving these trucks away for a song because of the gas prices. I have seen some pretty stout 4x4 at most K20's (not 1 tons) going for under 1,000.

If you just want a work horse or something to off-road in, thats a good deal. More function over form.

[chevyfan87]

bought it yesterday for 520. came with the bezels and everything rides great, needs a tuneup....that 305 does good to hit 55 with the 33's on it....pluges, wires, performer intake, performer carb, and a breather are coming real soon i guess

[babyJay]

Glad you got it. I'd take it for that price too if I were you. Now you need those American Racings and brand new mud tires I have listed in the misc for sale section....
