hello all.

i've been looking for a work truck on and off forever and this lil beauty came to my attention... i've always loved chevy trucks and I have an opportunity to make an offer on a 1982 custom deluxe k20 4x4 6.2 detroit TH400 Single Cab, Long Bed, with no rust, just patina, straight body, 65k orig miles. what do you think is a fair price is? this would be my first Diesel. I've built a few cars/trucks over the years...

- 71 datsun 510 st/track car
- 98 jeep xj crawler
- 01 audi s4 avant
- 07 harley sporty street tracker

anyways... square body's have always been so damn cool and i thought the combo on this truck was unique and its the 1st yr of the Detroit diesel -- i figured i could drive the damn thing for work, advertise my biz on it and probably gain in value for years to come.. just my initial thought. thanks so much for any and all info in advance.

cheers,
todd

Welcome, 1982 Being the first year of the 6.2L Diesel is for sure getting really uncommon especially in a 4x4 3/4 Ton I want you to know that. Complete Engs alone can bring up to $2,000... (Depending on Rarity/State) you live in & Certain parts are Obintanum these days & Bring a lot of money on the market.

65k Miles Sounds good, Keep it Original Guys Flock to these... Good luck with the truck.

If that thing has never seen bio before you're going to want to be close to home when you start using it so the towing bill will be cheaper.

Good luck with the purchase and welcome to GMSB.
