Is this a good deal? 79 GMC K10 Step Side

[Craig 85]

This truck has an aftermarket A/C, but the control unit is missing from the dash. I had one installed in an '80 back in 1995. It is A/C only. Mine had two dials at the top center vent area and a reduced size vent next to the knobs. The clues are the hole at the back of the center dash vent, the bolt on left A/C vent and the Sanden compressor. The right side of the dash has a replacement insert that is different than the factory piece.

Would the step side bed be worth anything? It's got some rust spots looks like but in overall good shape. I would probably swap out for a regular bed. Do you know how much I could get for those pieces if I sold them?

Just a note here, In the side picture it looks as though the cab to bed is bent in a slight u-shape. Since its looks like it was beat just wondering if it was a "jumper". Maybe its just my eye but my 78 doesn't look like that

Here is a picture of my 78 for a comparison, I paid $1700, but 4 years and a lot of work it's still my daily driver, even in the Winters, Thnk goodness for POR-15!!!

I guess it depends on who you're talking to, isn't worth anything at all to me, but if there's someone out there who just really wants a long bed step side, they may pay for them. Step side beds go for 600 bucks or so.

Looks like a shorty. Or do I need stronger glasses in my old age?

If it were a long bed I'd remember drooling. That's what I really wanted for Willy

They look especially good on 3/4 or 1 ton truck IMHO.
