He wants at least $4500 for it. More than I want to sink in a parts truck.Anyone going after this? if not I might go snag it...
Wow he's on something lolHe wants at least $4500 for it. More than I want to sink in a parts truck.
Here's the thing. There's not much of a market for a normal run of the mill 80 series engine with 200+K miles. Transmission has no resale value unless you find someone who needs a tranny right now ( have one here wirth 166K that you can have free). Same with the transfer case. Body looks pretty well totaled and the front bumper is bent up at least a bit. No idea what shape the interior is in. Used suspension pieces unless they look pretty new don't seem to sell well. The value here of course is the axles, but they wouldn't sell for enough to recuperate the $4500 price tag. Yes of course there are lots of others pieces that someone like me with no overhead can sell piecemeal and make some money on but there isn't enough profit in that truck at $4500 to make it worthwhile for me. Stripping an entire truck and selling off parts has to allow me to double my investment otherwise it's not worth all the work and hassle.He wants at least $4500 for it.

That was my thoughts. I have my 96 triple locked that needed the front end repaired and looked a lot better than that for less than have that cost. That one has lower miles on it. I would have gone to $2500, but I have no need for it. I have a 97 unlocked that I will part out at some point but do not have the time.Here's the thing.

It's a shame a rust-free truck ends up like this!
I'd love to hear other opinions.
If someone does buy it for 4k I'm going to list my rusty 80 triple lock for 10kThat was my thoughts.

Gary, you have seen my Conex boxes, I have too much stuff but still by more. I have two sheds at home full of stuff as well. Some things you just can not find anymore, others you may need one day. As long as I own 40's and 80's and work on them, I plan to keep multiple replacement parts for each, especially electrical items, like switches, etc.
I would take you up on the tranny, but I have no idea when I would make it up and I am sure your daughter will not put that in her car!!

Apologies, but they left with the garbage.I'll take these if they're not claimed yet. Hopefully someone can bring them to a monthly meeting and I can get them there. I'm hoping to make it to the February one
