What is all this work worth?

After a couple years of trial and error and continuous work I am ready to move on with life and have been looking around for LSX swapped K10-30's for sale with not a single sighting to compare for a starting point for selling it. I know by doing the swap it makes the truck worth more...but how much? Anyone out there seen one for sale or know of some prices of sold ones that were running or better?

Not looking for a quote on mine but nation wide market values to compare to and a single spot for people in the future to find a truck that compares to their own for reference purposes.

Re: What is all this work worth?

A lot depends on how nice the truck is and how well the swap has ben done. Too many variables to be able to say.

More than a truck with no engine, but not necessarily more than it would be worth otherwise. Let me to expound on that.
A well done truck, with a very well done swap IS worth more than an equally nice truck without it...IF the truck is a restomod/hotrod/custom etc. On a stock /factory fresh/survivor, the opposite is true.
Like any modified vehicle, its only worth what you can sell it for. If the swap and the whole package looks/feels/works good, then you can expect to sell if for a few % more than a comparable truck. If there is work to be done, this % usually gets lost in negotiation. I.e. some small harness work might deter one buyer, but not another. To sell a swapped truck for a profit, it takes the right combo of parts, labor, and luck.
