Truck buying advice

[osbornl1]

Ok what would most of you pay for a regular cab 85 k30 dually 454 factory air has been removed. New headers and exhaust 6 new tires very nice flatbed. Its an automatic and owner says it has 456 gears. Warn lock outs everything underneath is oil free as well as under the hood. There some engine mods nothing major. It runs great but needs a dash pad and rockers and cab corners and it's primer gray.

I wish I has a picture but I didn't have my phone with me when I stopped to look at it. It's an Ohio truck but the frame is relatively clean and looks recently painted.

Impossible to give a opinion on price without a pic.

Look up the NADA value and go from there. I don't believe KBB goes back that far.

they are becoming rare. here a solid frame and nice cab very minor rust they go for 2500 and up but at that price they are turn hey working trucks.1 ton 4x4.... i searched over 1 year to get one in decent shape and didnt have all the options i wanted.as for in the us might be more popular.

Needs paint, body work, and interior work..Thats a $800-1000 truck in my area. Location has alot to do with pricing. (example) I bought a nice 91 suburban 3/4 ton with mags wheels, 454/400, power everything. Had a blown head gasket. Got it for $600 and the guy was thrilled.

Well the sellers brother said the 3k asking price is too high in his opinion. I know body work is body work but the beds a flatbed that's in great shape so the cab corners and rockers are it. A dash and a few things to clean up inside and a paint job it could add up to 1000 bucks quickly. Around here the crappiest of 4x4 square body duallys go for 1500. 2wd ones 1k. A older full restoration on 5k. The Dana 60 front axle 1k all day long. A Dana 70 rear same price.

I was gonna start at 1500 that's half his offering price plus it's been there for 9+ months maybe a full year.

always get it cheap as you can, but if it's the truck you want....after driving & looking at countless trucks, when i seen mine, it was dam the price, no more searching. i know i probably paid to much, but i saved that in fuel & frustration (plus 99% rust free!)

1.they are not makin them anymore
2.if you don't see many,(like Jimmys here for me) they are hard to find in any shape
3.the sooner you get it,the sooner you can make it yours
4.if you feel your over paying,i'd mention body work etc, needs checked before your painter will paint it
5.need pics

That price is pretty in line with what I see here in Indiana. In our area, the K30 trucks are pretty rare if they are in decent shape. The dually's are even more rare. As said before, they aren't made anymore. If it runs good, and just needs body work, start at $1500. But in all, $3k isn't an out of the ball park price.

i paid 3k for my k30 custom 4x4 6.2 sm465 and ac out in az so no rust. i little on the high side i thought but it was what i wanted and i was there. back in mass that same truck is 5k ir better. in the same shape. mine just needs paint

As mention without pics its hard to say. here in my area of missouri it sounds like a solid 900 upper end but any square around is pretty cheap unless its super nice, super abundant and all mostly farm trucks so easy to pick up. the duelly`s in good shape minor body work.. like maybe a a rocker panel or needs a new bed ive seen go around 2,000 to 2,500

could be in the ballpark. cheaper is better. Cash in hand is King! good luck...
