1978, factory big block, AC, posi, dual tanks, tach, pwr windows, buckets etc. Frame off restored with inspection marks on the chassis and engine bay. I have only owned two square bodies, and I fell in love with this one.

Sweet nice truck

Killer Bee · 04-15-2020, 11:39 PM

ya know, I had a 74 and my folks had an 83.. both long gone..

I think that one's a dandy, it'll look great with factory steel wheels and Davis Construction door placards

I've got a set of NOS wheel covers.

Nice! Did you buy it?

Nice truck!

My dad had one just like that but was green and white exterior. He bought it new and I hoped he would let me buy it from him when I got my license. He ended up trading it to a dealership in south Ms. Man what I wouldn't give to get that truck.

Since you own a nice square body, I was thinking about asking you about the trucks worth. I haven't kept up with them, and didn't realize they had such a strong market.

He asked me $35,000. Is that in the ballpark?

I have a new Gear Vendors in the box for a 400 turbo, and that would make it drivable. Of course it sits a little high to suit me.

I know it only takes two people to establish value, a seller and a buyer.

The market is really strong for these trucks. If it is a quality restoration, I would offer $30K and go from there. You can lower it without cutting anything and not harm the value of t he truck. PM me if you have more questions. Good luck!

buyers market right now Larry, good luck!

**davischevy** · 04-17-2020, 03:45 PM

I would be a stronger buyer if I didn't have a 67 SWB and K10 project, and my 55 going to the paint shop. If somebody wants info I will be glad to pass it along.
