How much?

[Russell]

Hey Guys!

I've got a tough decision to make... I found a local 4x4 shortbed 3/4 ton truck for sale, and could get it for about 2000 dollars. Its got a recently rebuilt 454, all 1 ton running gear (D60 front, 14 bolt FF rear, 4.10 ratio, CM465 tranny), and a surprisingly solid body on it. What I am thinking I could do is buy this truck trade the equipment that I like from my truck over (power windows, power locks, Blazer tank, driver's side battery, TPI 350) And put the 4x4's stuff into my GMC, then sell it. How much do you guys figure I would be able to get for my truck? Other than just recently, it has been a trusty, dependable truck, but it is just too rough for me to repair with my current income. I'd hate to see it go, but I'd love my 4x4, and I'd still have plenty of my GMC in it, I'd paint it blue and white too. I'd just much rather put my money and time into the engine and drivetrain than into body work...

If I can get at least 1200 for my truck, I think I'll go ahead and buy this truck from the fella. Only thing thats bad as far as the body goes is some surface rust in the floor pans, and a nasty paintjob on the bed (no rust coming through it less a couple spots at the back of the arch, the bed itself looks good) The interior is rough on it too, but my GMC's interior is nearly mint less the door panels and dash bad.
