Long time project here but it's time to go, need the space, no time, winter rolling in, don't wanna let it sit another winter. About 90+% done, the rest is Saturday afternoon kind o stuff. Needs tires, seat belts, some wiring finished plus other stuff for inspection. Might wanna replace the windshield too because I don't wanna clean it... used prolly $125 w/ new gasket.

I usually price stuff waaay too low when I wanna move it yesterday... and I'm burned out on it anyway.

You guys are the experts on this stuff.

Ballpark me some kinda price.

Thanks

I feel like a $4g offer would be an inside deal.

I'd put 6500 on it and take the first offer over 4500 you get.

if it's all Saturday afternoon stuff.. then why not finish it? A running truck will sell faster and for more money

I hear ya. Life gets in the way. Surgery, sick leave, family time/ issues, work and weekend OT... no more Saturdays left for me. Burning my week vacation just to catch up around here. Project truck should be happy to get this much attention.

My other vehicles need more attention than this one before winter. Garage getting cleaned out too, more work/ projects there.

I berkeleying grin my ass off every time I drive this one but it's not gonna sit here another winter. Project truck gotta go.

that's all kinds of hillbilly fabulous. i'd rock it in a heartbeat if i needed/wanted something like that. looks neat, not a hack job, not diggin the dash but that's just me. probably $4k-ish with the wiring fixed and the fuel tank mounted.

mechanical fuel pumps don't like to lift fuel, so you may be hurting it if you run it off that dangling fuel jug too much.
