At $18k, that is the top of the market for what it is- at that price everything should work and be freshly redone. It will likely depreciate for the next owner.

Yea always blows me away when people ask 15/20,25 k or more for a restored truck and at the end of thread say A/C all there but need recharge.. my other favorite is all the A/C stuff gone and seller says its easy to find used replacement brackets etc.

That’s because AC work is expensive and there are no shortcuts. You can’t slap a coat of bondo on it and make false claims like bodywork. AC either works...or it don’t work. Most people do not have the proper tools or understanding to fix it themselves and when they take it to a shop usually crap their pants when told the cost involved. I learned this a long time ago and invested in the proper tools to make sure I always have a functioning AC system in every vehicle I own (old or new). I spent over $1000 in parts alone last week to fully rebuild/restore the AC in my wife’s 20 year old Yukon, and that’s not counting my labor.

I agree but if you've got 20,000 in a restored vehicle to flip what's another 2000, if that's what it takes, as your still gonna ask 35/40,000 for it and by having the A/c working especially in an area where extreme heat is the norm its takes a big worry/concern out of the equation for the buyer so might sell faster.

Completely restored, no rust, new paint, interior, front wheel assemblies replaced, new brakes, etc. I have all paperwork from the past two owners including dealer prep sheet, two build sheets, protecto plate, service records, and more. I have extra parts that go with the truck. Will not sell separate. I don’t need help selling and only deal in person. Thanks
