That one wasn't the nicest one I have seen. The nicest, that beautiful blue one in Seattle went for 19K

Another pristine one around 100K in Maryland fetched something near that, but less

This is a 17-18K truck by my reckoning. But if he can get it, then more power to him!

Post by: swbhobie16 on December 21, 2016, 10:22:58 AM: yea. it looks. nice and straight. he already started dynamat in it.. which leads me to believe that the floors have been gone through and all is well. i don't really nneeeeddd any of it.. but it sure would be nice to go ahead and bag a rolling 1 ton crew cab short bed chevy frame and body for the future build..

Post by: swbhobie16 on December 21, 2016, 11:11:57 AM: not counting my chickens just yet.. i'm waiting to see what he's thinking. whether it's realistic or outrageous. and.. i may just get the rolling chassis and body. don't really have time to work on the engine and such yet. but they are easier to find than a good body and frame. (been tossing the idea around for a common rail 5.9/48re combo from an 03-05..) but they're just details.. i judd need the BONES!! hahah

Post by: swbhobie16 on December 21, 2016, 04:13:46 PM: replied to my email.

he's asking $4500 OBO. no specifics yet.. but i'm working on those details.

Post by: OldKooT on December 21, 2016, 04:19:55 PM: At $4500 or less the sum total of the parts *assuming they are good* is worth that.

The Nv4500/205 if 29 spline and it should, be is worth $1500 minimal
The Bare block/head off that Cummins is worth $800 if rebuildable
Pump and lines aren't free either.

The Axles...$1500 all day around most parts of the country...

If Rust free the cab is worth a grand...box $500 all day.

I'd offer him $3k for it all

Post by: swbhobie16 on December 22, 2016, 10:30:24 AM: im currently trying to fiure that out. trying to get some details on the rest of it. at least it's from a truck where sheetmetal can be easily found, and the rear doors are easier than day a crew can dodge, to find. he's only a couple hours from me, and will hopefully be too tied up over the holidays to move it. may ride out and take a look in a week or so..
