1979 chev straight stick, 4x4 lock out, new engine, front end all redone, new dash and seat. Runs like a top a good mechanic has it that I know. Some bad rust spot on drive rear fender well.

What is it worth and what would you pay for it as is???

2500 if good frame

$2500 - 3000

Same. It would be a decent firewood hauler.

Body parts can be replaced as long as the frame is solid one thing to consider is buying any older truck outright today that’s repairable is worth a lot is the way I look at it. Not a Chevy guy myself can’t do much on price I sunk over 5K in my old D50 and drove it for many years I saved a lot on interest that way.

$ 1,200 tops [ for myself and this area]

$2,000

$1,000 at most.

Thats a high dollar truck over this way. You could prob sell it for 7500 pretty easy over here.

He wants 5K I know him very well. He has a new engine and new inside good tires all most new, front end is all new from transfer case out. I was thinking 5K might be a little high but over time the price of it would go up I would think. Boy, used vehicles here are going for a lot of benjamin's these days.

Take if for a long drive in the country that might help with your decision making process old roads are a good test to what your looking at.

They are real high here in ND too. You should look at a 1 ton four door. Even with 200,000 miles and 10 years old they are $30,000

LawDog he said come drive it but don't to if totally serious about buying it.

MJM, yeah used vehicles are really inflated prices now.

Normally I look at the odometer to help me kinda gauge the value. New engine is great, but if say the transmission goes within 10k miles you might belooking at another 5k of maintenence. Not that odometer is the end all, some vehicles barely make it to 100k while many pass the 200k or 300k mark.

Edit: Alaska prices are wild so if it's less that 200k miles than 5k would be a complete steal.

I sold this thing for $3000 last year. 77 F150, 2WD, newer fuel injected 5.0 and AOD trans in it, upgraded suspension and rear axle, etc. The frame was good but the body was swiss cheesed with rust. It had 160k on the odometer, the engine and trans had about 90k.

I'd give $5k for it, not a cent more. Around here it would have way more rust, and most likely some scars from run ins with moose

Check out all Body mounts...rocker panel & Cab corners.

Does the driver door close ok ?? Or does it drop..when opening

Check out rear leaf spring shackles for rot
.
And of course check the frame.

2500.00

Sold a 76 f150 for $21,200.00 35,000 miles 2wd no air no rust it did have PS

Don’t let your dog ride in the back. It might fall thru
1000

There is a following for the old square bodies. Hes in the ballpark with his price. Maybe less some places, more in other places.
