Sort of a joke ^ we don't really have to do that, but this thread is super cool.

I have some squarebody stuff lying around that I probably won't use and could sell that I'll post up later.

I don't know how to properly value the little odds and ends

D60 Dog dish hub caps, I’ve been holding onto these for almost 20 years. Forgot all about them until the other day

It took me a while to find a decent set of D44 front 8 lug caps and GMC logo 5 or 6 spoke dog dishes are much harder to find than the Chevy versions. Without paying big bucks, anyway.
Those are worth some money, especially the fronts.

I believe those front caps are worth 100-200 bucks depending on how bad someone wants them. But for every one of those people, there's probably 10 people that say they are just regular ol 20 dollar caps.
Except none of those people actually have a set and likely none of em know where a set is...

Quoting myself here. I assume this truck fetched $6500 and it was worth every penny, in retrospect.
It was absolutely as nice as it looks. Picture 40 year old original paint that was very well kept, short of being a show car. Even minimal daily driver scratches and dings.
Oh, and I should have bought it.....

I’d be interested in them. What are you looking to get?

An alum intake? Lol

What’s it worth? 88k orig miles on a 1984 truck, early 2.8 V6. 5 speed. 4x4.
Assume clean as it looks in the picture and assume no major current issues.
Western WA truck, no rust. Stripped down. No AC cruise and manual windows.
It literally looks like a 1 owner Grampa truck.
Might be a good DD for the kid since the 7mpg 454 in the K20 will put us both in the poor house, him driving 300-400mi per week to hockey practice.

I’m not a big S10 guy but this checks a lot of boxes for simple, clean, low miles, decent commuter and good rain/winter rig.

If it will easily pass whatever emissions test you guys have in WA, drives straight and had a good set of tires on it, I’d offer $2500 and see what they say. I’d go higher, if I needed that type of truck though. I know WA has some microclimates, but a hot summer will help that sell cheaper without AC. Although, you’re talking hockey…

The fact that it’s a manual will make it unusable for more than half the population, as well.

All good points for a purchaser vs the seller.

And I got enough dark blue paint left over to make it an actual mini me truck!

Good points, it won’t sell to most who are just looking for a daily driver because stick shift and no AC, No cruise etc.
Idk if these original S10s are starting to become collectable or not.
Have a feeling it wouldn’t be a bad investment from that standpoint if it could be bought right, for like $2500-3k.
