Need to sell my 78 stepside
Hi guys, Long time no posts.
I have a question. I just purchased an 02 Silverado Z71 Ext Cab. (Really need it for the Wisconsin winter.) I'm looking for opinions on selling one of my other trucks. 'Elvis' is a 78 Chevy SB stepside. Rebuilt 350 (4 bolt main) 4bbl carb. (original motor was a 6 cyl) Dual exhausts. Rebuilt turbo 350 trans with shift kit. Tilt wheel (not original) Rally wheels, Eagle ST radials. Body is real nice. Newer paint (but not 'show quality') no rust. Was originally titled in arizona. Spent most Wisconsin winters in the garage. Interior is pretty good. There are plenty of little things that could be fixed up on it. Things I planned on taking care of if I keep it: Fix parking break. fix leak where speedo cable enters trans. Change out the mufflers. ($5 glass packs just don't do it for me.) Redo the interior door panels. New U joints. rebuild carb. This truck looks really cool and some tlc could make it a decent show truck. I bought this truck for $3000 last spring. I'd like to get close to that much out of it. I'm just running out of garage space . I haven't been checking ebay lately. How is the market for such a truck? Any other ideas on where to sell?? If anybody is interested in this truck or know someone who is, email me rocktriviagod@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance for any input . PS: If I sell this truck, can I still be a member opf this board?

It sounds like the truck is nice enough to bring most of your money back. Since it is a rust free truck that should bring decent money in your area.
We really need good pics to offer any more input...

Good job of posting pics....even for the first time.
Good looking truck. Why was the big hole put in the driver's door, any idea?

I'm pretty sure you could get that much out of it. We paid $2500 for our stepside and it wasn't in as good of shape as that one is, although very close.
