Somebody Jump on this Dually in OKC

[maxxxy]

I am not affiliated with this truck at all. Somebody needs to jump on this deal. Its a 78 single cab dually with a newer clip. Nice paint on front clip and cab. No bed. 350 4 bolt main, turbo400. $700. I wish I had a use/could afford the cash.

very nice

not running 700 is about 300 too much in az..

In the rust belt around here the cab alone is worth that 700.

Not necessarily a winner; front tire flat, engine cobbled together, flex fan with no shroud, missing door lock etc.

marker light broke/missing, mirror broke, interior dirty.


How does a truck end up in this condition should be the real question.


i would say $700 is too high. i would think $150-200 tops would be appropriate.

700 would be fair around here. Body parts, tilt wheel, a/c parts, cab and frame are worth that

i'm looking at it from a standpoint of rebuilding.

But why does a truck end up in this condition?

Have you ever let any of your vehicles deteriorate to that level?

My sentiments exactly. Why was the front end swapped? Front end collision?

I never cared for the older trucks with newer front ends anyway, sort of ruins it for me.

Not to mention a dually with a small block is like having a super model for a wife that you can't touch

Personally, it's good for parts and that's about it. Strip it...

I guess as long as personal opinion is out there . I have an 84 single cab one ton . 89 burb front wrap , Why ? It was cheap . Rust and whiskey bruises from P.O. required it . I see nothing wrong there

Mine also has a 250 inline , Why? It was cheap . Its my daily driver , 80 miles a day to work and back . I pull a 20 foot goose neck now and then .

That 350 wouldn't scare me at all LOL .

My old ton was owned by a small company . Most are treated pretty rough .

You live in Kansas, it's flat as a pancake there Around here it wouldn't work very well
I've towed with a few 350's, just not up to par for my standards I guess. I like grunt, and lots of it.

In your case, swapping from the 84 to 89 front wouldn't be that big of a deal to me, they all look like newer trucks to me when you get up into the 80's and 90's. It's when you take a distinctive 79 and older front end and swap on an 81 and up where I lose interest.

I agree that 700 is a lil steap on this but here in okc this about the going price for this condition and for that I have seen much worst on cl's that are selling for about 500-700. Just comes down to what someone is willing to pay.

You guys saying it should bring 150 to 200 dollars are from a different planet than I am. Here, a truck like that is worth the price. The scrap value is way more than 200 dollars.

I could absolutely part that truck out for twice what he's asking.
