If you know the sum of the parts for the 14FF, D60, 400/205, 454, I'd add em up and ask at least that. My calculations bring it to about $3500 if it's a real good runner. If I were bidding though, probably wouldn't want to pay more than about $3K. I'd want to try and make some money back parting the rest and doesn't sound like there is too much to be had after the drivetrain is removed. Just my .02. Good luck. I'll be looking for it.

There is a truck just like it in UT with less rust going for about $1500 right now. I doubt it will top $2000 as a complete truck. It would be worth more if you parted it out yourself rather than try to sell it whole. A whole truck is NEVER worth the sum of its parts because the value of the parts usually include labor to remove them.

If there was a one ton for $1500 with a D60, big block, 400TH/205, 14FF, that runs good, I'd jump on it in a heartbeat. I just sold a D60 from a Dodge for $1K and I gave em a good deal (had new bearings, seals, etc...). Here in Colorado a $1500 or even a $2000 1 ton with a 60 would last about 2 seconds. Stick with you're $3K reserve. If it looks like it might not be met. Drop it down to $2500 but I wouldn't go lower than that.
