This one needs to go, asking for opinions. Offering it up here first.

Like others have said, it's hard to to put a hard set price on it, especially since different areas have vastly different price scales. I'm in north Ga though, so I'm not too far away. A nice body and frame are big pluses, right there you've got 5k IMO. The huge lift is a draw for some but I'd wager it's a bigger turn off for a larger crowd because it's not very usable. If it were running and driving, even with the mismatched gears and other issues, I'd probably put it around $10-15k. But with the hurt motor, axle needing a regear, that obviously hurts it. Not to mention the state of our country/economy has everybody just holding what they've got at the moment.

If it were mine, I'd probably price it around $8k and hope for anything north of 5k.

I think this is a very fair and accurate assessment.

I also agree that if it were running you could get $10k even with mismatched gears.

I do. Send me some pics. donnieray @charter.net.

I think we are all about to witness the swap of the year happen in this thread!

Thanks for the opinions, it really means a lot, as I haven't been the best member here. I know the truck is a pile of mismatched parts with a weak tranny. I learned that the front differential is a 3/4 ton unit. The rear is a 14 bolt full floater though. I bought it because of the condition of the body and chassis. I also purchased 35" tires and 17" wheels mounted from 4Wheel Parts as well as 3" Tuff Country EZ ride springs. I planned to get rid of the body lift and make it a respectable truck. I also have a pretty damn solid 84 K10 with a new 350, new and rare NP833 tranny, new transfer case and all new interior waiting to get paint. My daily driver is a lowered, rusty and dented 86 C10 with a 4 bolt main 350 I built myself, new 400 tranny and Eaton Posi equipped 12 bolt rear. I smoke the rears on it daily to help me deal with the frustrations of being a maintenance man at a rubber factory. The truck I posted about is a dream that died. I have a two bay shop and I would like very much to get it out of there but I cant let it sit outside in NC and allow it to rust.Hell, I dont even need the money. My life is getting short and want it gone. I do really appreciate the interesting replies. I really expected to get flamed more about the hillbilly junk. At least it dosent have the Carolina Squat!

Im interested. 252 529 8152. Text me.

How's the paint and body on that blue truck.

What is the story? Original paint, nice paint and body restore , or a bondo wagon?

It kinda looks pretty nice but pics are deceiving.

If you weren’t so far away I’d give it a serious look at that price…

If you could get the engine running, it would add significantly to the value. Otherwise, a potential buyer would have no idea if repairs would cost $200 or $2,000. And some would not even consider a truck with a blown head gasket.

Well, street unusable and illegal, and a incomplete project. May have to cut your losses and run.
BUT, selling prices are all over the map, depending on what part of the country you are in, and whether you can deliver it.

I know I wouldn't

But a bad head gasket is much nicer than rust holes imo.
Regardless, sounds like this may be Vince’s new bogger here shortly!
