Decision has been made... K5 is a going to a new home (long, sorry)
I really appreciate everyone's input on the last thread I started. For anyone wanting to come up to speed, please read-
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=163498 I really need a truck- for work, for the family, and most importantly for playtime. It's time. Plus, my commute has dropped from 60 miles a day to 2 miles a day, so the commuter car is going out the door too. In order to get my truck, I need to offload my K5 unfortunately. I am looking at an older Ford F-350 96-97 quad cab long box or a 96-99 K3500 quad cab long box. Not sure which yet, but I just can't bring myself to pay $40-50k for a new truck, and obviously I have no problem driving an older vehicle ![]() Those model years are my favorite for the respective manufacturers. Anyways... I can't put my finger on an asking price- I am just too close to it to make a fair decision. I won't take a penny under $6,000, but I have no idea how much (if any) over that I can go. Now I know a truck is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay, but I could sure use your help for a starting price. I am not looking to sell on this forum, so be as critical as possible. Don't spare my feelings. Some details (good and bad here fellas, all cards on the table) Positives- Tuff Country EZ Ride 6" springs, <300 miles Explorer ES-3000s front, <300 miles Explorer Stainless brake lines front <300 miles Moog M2 Upper/Lower BJS <300 miles Moog M2 Tie Rod Ends <300 miles Moog M2 Draglink <300 miles Wagner Rotors <300 miles Cardone Calipers <300 miles Inner/Outer Federal hub bearings <300 miles Brute Force u-joints (axles) <300 miles Warn hubs Rough Country dual steering stabilizer <300 miles Performance Accessories 3" Body Lift Front bumper cut/welded Prothane Body Mounts Superlift 2" rear springs Rough Country 2" rear blocks Rancho RS-5000 shocks rear 38x15.50R16 Interco TruXus STSs with about 50% treadlife 16x10" American Racing Diamond Locks Smittybilt 6 point roll cage, spreaders widened (glove box opens! ![]() Holly Street Avenger 670cfm carb <300 miles Accel 8.8mm wires <300 miles Proform HEI distributor, all new <300 miles Edelbrock Performer Carb Edelbrock Valve covers Hedman Headers <300 miles Totally custom true dual 2 1/2" exhaust with H pipe, stainless mufflers + tips B&M Supercooler Transcooler New fuel pump, new battery, 4 core radiator, new distributor, new voltage regulator Pioneer head unit + outdoor speakers custom rear roll pan Smooth tailgate with custom skin Front fenders, hood, grille in great shape passenger rear quarter in good shape, doors & inner panels in good shape 3.73s, TH350, D44 front, 12 bolt rear Truck runs AWESOME with great power, shifts solidly, starts easy and runs good, even in 100 degree weather. Now for the negatives Steering box leaks (1 tsp/mo) Oil pan leaks (1 tbs/mo) Tranny leaks (1 tbs/mo) Xfer case leaks (1 tbs/mo) Front pumpkin leaks (1 tsp/mo) No carpet Driver side needs new floor pan Both rocker boxes need bottom sheet metal (all cancer cut away) Heater not hooked up, fan doesn't work (haven't investigated) Truck does have ongoing short, have used cutoff switch to prevent battery dying Rear tailights work, both blinkers work, LH brake light doesn't. Possibly source of short ahmeter guage not hooked up Rear quarter on driver side has about a 2" crack by the fenderwell Previous owner hacked dash for DIN stereo mount rear seat not mounted Well, that's about it. I could sure use some pointers... Like how much of this to divulge if I list on Ebay, I really want to be honest and fair and don't want to mislead. guys, thanks in advance. For everything. Many of you have been there and helped me when I was installing everything from the list above. If anyone had a 'shell' and were looking for the guts to populate it, I bet they couldn't get a better deal on all of the mods and bolt ons, even if they didn't drive it as is. Guys, be honest with me, don't sugar coat it, don't worry about protecting my feelings here.
