Clean looking truck but 1400 w/o motor and tranny. I don't think so maybe $700 if it's a clean body and the engine harness wasn't chopped when the engine and tranny were pulled

You'd pay $700 for that? Not me. Keeping in mind pics don't show all the flaws. Granted, it does LOOK straight, and the faded paint might just come back to life with a few hours of Clay Bar treatment and wax, but he was even honest (we hope) and says the body is only FAIR to Good. Not Excellent. I'm thinking more in the range of $300-$400. $500 max if the interior is in good shape and the underhood wiring isn't butchered up by whoever pulled the motor trans.

Makes me so sick when I see rollers being sold and you get there and the wiring harness has been cut about 6 inches from the firewall to save them about 15-20 minutes in disconnecting the harness properly so it can be reused.

Yeah, 1400 is pretty insane for a roller in only fair to good condition. I paid $1k for mine and it was decently reliable (drove it 500 miles home). Knowing what I found when I started tearing it down even that $1k was probably over paying for it but hindsight is always 20/20. I'm with HRPC on this one. $500 max and that is only if there is no significant cancer or bondo work in the body..

Yeah, the most I ever paid for a roller was $200 and that's because it was basically rust free, with title and a 4x4. The other 4 I only paid $100.

Just an idea of how ridiculous K5 prices can be out here in AZ: Granted everybody asks high....

Nice 72'.....priced a little high, needs to come down about $3K:
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/pts/3402191765.html

DD 72'.... could probably come down $1-1500K
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/3386101000.html

Now a project 72'....this guy is out of his fuggin mind
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/cto/3405536008.html

Very clean 87'.... priced fairly reasonable (for this market) probably has $5-900 to give in it

BOY if i had time and cash for a full resto, 3/4ton crew http://bemidji.craigslist.org/cto/3398890319.html

Yup it's a Crew Cab. A pretty rough one, but it's a Crew Cab.
I wonder though. I know the Crew Cab 3/4 tons came on a 1 ton frame, so that makes me wonder, did they come OE with Dana60 fronts on the 3/4 4x4 Crew Cabs It would seem they should have with all the extra weight just like a 1 ton. :shrug: If it's D60 front, it's worth the $900 all day long. Probably is anyway since it's a Crew.

The d60 started in '77 and every crew cab I've seen from that point on has been a C20, C30, or K30. Only K20 crew cabs I've seen were '76 or older and had a d44 front axle. Really pretty rare to see one of those.
