Hi Everybody. I know you get alot of ?'s on value or what a truck might be worth. I'm a VW guy and new to the Truck scene. I've spotted this guy and am trying to negotiate a price. It's an Arizona truck. No rust. 6 cyl 3 speed. Pack rats have destroyed the interior and possibly some wiring. Running when parked 5-7 years ago. Whatta ya think?

Buy it! Looks beautiful!

These are very rare trucks. Its a Fleet model GMC with Chevy cab along with some other cross model additions. Its worth is about $4000 in its stock condition

renegade6 · 12-12-2008, 03:34 PM

Buy it. Believe that is a fleet truck, which are a bit rarer than the regular ones.

vwjohnny · 12-12-2008, 04:04 PM

Fleet truck? How do I know? This might explain the chevy tailgate and the chevy steering wheel?
