Good to see a fair price for a beautiful truck.

I always buy my trucks with no motor or trans...it seems everyone puts thousands of dollars into a 383 SBC and than try to sell the rusty truck for 15K....seems the engine builders have created this great engine combo and everyone must have the same....IMO, if the truck has factory air its worth more than one without....also the SWB is worth more than the long bed....

Interesting thread and yes powertrain is the last concern when buying a classic anything.

....what?....what about the $3500 sound system? isn't that an adder to the purchase cost?....lol
Just kidding of course, but it is always interesting to see what some sellers consider to be of value in their sale and how that doesn't always translate into cash on sale day.
For me...I'm in agreement with most of the guys in that the body/model and physical condition and completeness are way more important than the motor/trans or drivetrain.
Here is an interestingly priced truck for sale.....not sure if I'd move quickly on this one but everyone has a right to ask whatever they want for their truck. Sometimes its good to get advice on what range a trucks value will probably hit when working to sell it.

The first (2) trucks posted at the beginning of the thread are not too far off market value in my opinion....give or take a bit I guess.
All Good
