Best way to sell a Car/Truck?

OK I have been trying to sell my truck for the past few months. I have it on like 20 different boards like this one, in one of the local car mags, and had it on ebay once. I have had a few calls, but not a single person come down to look at it. WTF am i doing wrong? I know its not a perfect truck and im not trying to sell it as one. Here are the specs:
For Sale 1994 GMC Sierra SLE Ext Cab K2500
- 5.7 Liter V8 with a K&N air filter
- Rebuilt automatic overdrive tranny with 20,000+ miles
- 14 Bolt Rear end w/ 2” lift blocks, Front bars have been tightened
- 4 wheel drive
- Axp 157,000 miles
- Aftermarket brushed grill insert
- Viper 550ESP Alarm with Remote start
- Kenwood cd player
- Bed liner with bed rail covers
- Power drivers seat
- Power windows
- Power steering
- Power brakes, front calipers have been replaced with bigger piston ¾ ton units
- Power locks
- Cruise control
- 16.5 “ Eagle alloy wheels with 33x12.5x16.5 BFG Mud tires (Apx 30,000 miles on tires, going to need new ones soon)
- Setup for towing, has a class 3 hitch, 7 pin connecter with electric trailer brake controller in the dash.
- Tilt wheel
- Air conditioning
- Recent tune up (cap, rotor, and plugs)
- New Battery
- Have new pads for the front and new oil filter

Asking $6,500 OBO


Stuff that I know needs to be fixed. Drivers side mirror has 2 chips in it, you can still see out of it just fine. Passanger side seat doesnt always slide and lock. Check engine light comes on, says it is running lean, but it runs fine and I have changed the o2 sensor. Drivers side fender has a nice dent in it, passanger side right before rear bumper has a dent in it. Needs new tires.

All that isnt too much in my book to fix, i just dont have the money to put into the truck, as paying the $300 a month for it now is killing me. What should I do to make this thing sell quicker? I cant really go too much lower then the asking price cuz that what I owe on the loan. Blue book is around $7500-8000 in its shape. Carfax returned a clear history. What else is there to do?

Thanks
Jason
