around here the engine alone is worth just about his asking price. I wouldn't bet on it being a 468 and all that jazz. It might be. It might not be. In any case, a running 454 brings about that price in most markets.

Make sure you can afford to own it. Our next door neighbor had a mid '70's 454 dually crew cab. A gorgeous truck. Towing a horse trailer it got 3. YES THREE! mpg. He didn't have it long.

Agree on the engine price. Although my 78 454 crew cab dually gets a solid 8mpg towing my 10k lb tractor. Either way the mileage sucks and the truck rocks!
