I think there’s value in each. What are your goals with it? Around town cruiser or Power Tour Long Hauler? Parts store runner or Autocross challenge? What are your preferences? Something to tinker on? Or buy it and drive, no questions asked? Like the originality or enjoy the modern amenities? We gotta know more about who you are and what you hope to get out of the truck...

#2 is most expensive, but has a modern drivetrain swap, full interior and looks to have had the front end gone though and freshened up. Is that stuff valuable to you? Hard to beat the power and reliability, along with a modern overdrive trans, that the 5.3/4l60e will provide... and those TMI interiors aren’t cheap either... but is that your cup of tea?

Me personally I like the LS swap, but could do without the interior...

I like the two tone brown and tan on truck #3, but would love a LS over that 305 TBI.

#1 is a very clean example... love how solid and easily the doors shut! it’s the little things! But not thrilled with the peeling clear coat over white. I like patina in some cases but on white paint it looks sort of ratty to me. Total personal opinion...

#4 is definitely more of a 90’s style look with those wheels... while that’s easy to change, it isn’t necessarily cheap... add 1,500-2k for the us Mags 18’s/20’s that the other trucks are running. But again that depends on your preference...

#5 isn’t a bad choice either! Fairly clean overall... and at that price it’d leave some room if you did want to drop in a fresh crate 350, 383 or even go the LS route...

Good luck in your hunt! Lots of good options.
