Looks like a ten grand truck at least, but it's always hard to judge by pics.

SEVEND2 · 10-27-2003, 06:38 AM

$8,500- $12,500

miket · 10-27-2003, 11:07 AM

Ditto.

dude somethings only worth In real life what somebody Is willing to pay.not saying the truck Is worth what some guy may have In his bank account If all he has Is 5k but If you spent 40 K building the truck and want 60K out If It would be a hard seller (due to weak economy).Basically the truck Is worth what you feel It's worth within reason,I agree with seventy 2 I would say at least 10K and maybe as much as 15K It's all In personal taste to 1 guy It may be worth 9K then another may see and And like It and have cash and offer you 20 K you know.theres nothing set In stone In todays market I been trying to sale my shortbed 67 all new restored mostly numbers matching truck for 8.500 and can't find any buyers with money.I have had several people come up and say man I'd love to have the cash I'd buy that In a heartbeat.I know for what I have In It and what It costs In todays real world to build them you can't hardly have
anything done at a shop anymore for 10K.

boraxman · 10-27-2003, 04:54 PM

I would say youre truck is comproable(sp?) to mine and I paid $8000. IMO these trucks are money in the bank w/interest along with about any classic vehicles. The fact is they dont make them anymore and over time theres less and less. I had no problem dumping another couple of grand in mine(Disc brake convo and posi rear) because I know the value will be there later

Johns70 · 10-27-2003, 09:00 PM

thanks for the replies, I was thinking about 9500 but wasn't to sure if that would be to much. thanks again for the replies

*Tony Stewart* · 10-27-2003, 09:31 PM

seems right In line with me I dont think your far off any at all.of course you'll have a few tires kickers that will slam the price you always do.I had a particular guy here before I became a member slam and degrade my truck without even seeing any pictuures of It or me telling him the specs,and he told me It was not worth anything,cause he was trying to buy It for nothing.but I will not mention any names all I will say Is that he was from texas.
