Have to sell. Is it rare?
Hi there. After owning this truck since 1996, purchased from the estate of the original owner, I need to sell it (knee issues). I'm working on what to say in the listing and don't want to overstate what it is. Is a New Process close ratio 4spd. considered "rare"? I sure don't see or hear about them ever. Is a "Longhorn" (8 1/2 Ft. bed) considered "rare" or just very uncommon.
I'm not sure if I'm up-to-date on my dues here so not sure if I can ask a "what's it worth" question without being shot but I really have no clue at all. It has a new high quality clutch and a GM crate 350 Ci. with about 5K on it. Anyway long story short, can I say "rare NP 435 transmission" and "rare longhorn-style bed"? How about "rare factory tach dash"? It's worth a lot more to me than the market will bear I'm sure, but I still don't know where to start or how to list it. Thanks, Brian

Re: Have to sell. Is it rare?
Your name is bold and blue, so you are paid up. Someone will chime in with the numbers, but I don't think that Longhorns are particularly rare. Trans and tach, I can't help with those, for rarity considerations.

Re: Have to sell. Is it rare?
The 435 was more common in the fords than the GM stuff from my experience. I would say that’s probably the most rare thing you’ve posted so far. How rare though I’m truthfully not sure. And I don’t think it’s gonna affect the price a ton either way honestly. I wouldn’t consider a tach or longhorn truck rare by any means but definitely less common. I would say post some pictures up and give us a better idea what we are dealing with to get some better $numbers.

The Ford NP 435 was not the same as the GM "close ratio" one. Mine has a 4.56 1st gear. The Fords and Dodge versions all had the deep "granny" low designed for getting a heavy trailer going. The CR one was ordered for those planning to carry only a camper in the bed. With highway gears and/or tall tires, this one can be used like an ordinary 4spd. -Brian

Also, there used to be an old spedo-repair shop on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood and when I took this truck in there in the '90s, the guy working there said it was the first 67-72 he had seen with this option. I know there are retrofit kits that many guys upgrade with nowadays so maybe I'll post fac-tach but omit "rare" wording. Ok, thanks, Back later with the ugly pictures.

Re: Have to sell. Is it rare?
In my opinion I don't believe any of those items listed are going to affect the price the way that a solid rust free body will. We all know that rust repairs generally run in the 10's of thousands of dollars
The sad facts are a tach is an easily available addition. The obsession over short beds in most folks mind mean a Longhorn is just 6 inches more scrap metal, and the transmission is just another 3 speed with a granny that needs to be replaced with a 5 speed behind an LS . I'm not trying to be rude just pointing out what most buyers see these days. I feel bad for you that you can no longer enjoy your truck and I sincerely hope you find a buyer who shares your love of the truck and is willing to pay your price. The big multiplier for our trucks is obviously, is it a Cheyenne, CST or a Super?
