I might have sold my 78 Buckskin truck .

[f.monroe]

I had someone call me about a different truck . He asked if I had any others and I told him about the Buckskin truck . He asked and I put a price on it . I think he is flying in on Sat . I really wanted enter it in a local show the first week of September but that may not happen . What do you think the truck is worth ? Here are some detailed pics . It is a zero rust truck . Nonair . I will let you know hw the deal goes but wanted some input just for fun .

It IS a nice truck man and I wish you the best with the possible sale. Does the fact that it is a Big10 show up on the option label?

What's it worth, or what will it bring on the market? Even though it's not a factory air truck, and it doesn't have one of the most common colors it still should sell in the 8500+ range. If it sells for more, you done good. If it sells for less, you should have told me you would sell it so cheap...

The guy is from the northeast so he is looking for a rustfree truck and the nonair part is a plus to him . I sent him pics tonight so he would know exactly what he is looking at . I would not want him to come this far without good info . He said he flew out to get the tan/white 77 that was on ebay but didnt buy it . He also stated that he is a bigblock man so I am sure it will get some good attention . The only problem is that I just put the wheels on and started driving it again . Frank

idk what its worth but i would like to have it in my garage.

[68GMC454]

eyah it would look good in my driveway.. good looking truck.. id hate to sell it, but for the right amount, anything i got is forsell

[SmokeShow]

dang sharp and haven't the slightest idea what it'd be worth. Hope you feel good about what you offered it to him for.

good luck

CCL448Z = the bold four indicates it is a HD (Big 10) truck along with the HD Chassis description.

I don't think it is worth more than scrap. I am hauling a load off this weekend I could come pick it up for gas money I say 6000-8000 on the low side from the pics, but I know you keep clean trucks....

Hey Frank ,

Trucks rust out real quick on the far east coast . I would buy a truck like yours ...as it sits .. For $10,000 easy . when I was in the market for one . I would never be able to find a truck in that condition here for $6000-$8000 range . But there are less here than in the USA . I just bought a 88 K5 thats got a bit of rust on it for $4000 . I just wish all these nice truck were closer . Acording to what the 77 on Ebay was going for ..I would not sell your truck for less than $9000 .

Good Luck Pete

[G35MIKE]

great looking truck!

[f.monroe]

I will know tomorrow if it is gone or not . The guy is flying into Houston in the morning . I repacked the wheel bearings again , changed the oil, had the front end aligned , checked the rear axle lube level , and washed her. She should be ready for the trip if needed . I took more pics tonight and will probably get a couple of it leaving if it comes to it . I will miss this truck . I have another one spotted though .

Most folks wouldn’t give a d---n, they’d just sell the truck and send you on your way.

Thanks for being a class act!

[f.monroe]

Well this isnt me behind the wheel in this photo . The truck is headed to West Virginia . Cool guy that bought it and he has some neat vehicles and projects . A 56 one ton , a 68 short wide , I think a mid 60's chevelle , and now a solid Buckskin Cheyenne . He said it would be housing a big block in the future . Still hard to sell even though I got good money and it will be taken care of .

Frank,
If you don't mind, how much did you get for it?
If you don't want to tell I understand.

The more I looked at it the more I liked it.

It was a good sell so I let it go . My wife really wanted me to sell something and this came up . It sold for $9500 with a full tank of gas . The guy was super laid back and knew what he was looking for . He wanted a nonair truck and this one had no rust at all . He even stated that it was everything I said it was . I was glad that he was happy with it since he came so far to get it . He said he flew to Arizona to get the tan/white 77 that we have discussed here that is on ebay . He ended up losing his deposit since the truck had some imperfections that werent covered in the ad and he didnt buy it . That is why I took many detailed pics of this truck for him and told him everything I knew about it . I had some things done and did some maintenance to it to get it ready for the trip that cost me a little . I didnt mind since he was a real car guy and knew what he was looking for . I wanted the truck to be ready for the trip if needed . If you are on the road between Tx and West Virginia in the next couple days , you might see it . I hope his trip is uneventful and he has nothing but good times in the 78 . I told him about this site since he has other trucks so he may show up here . One thing is for sure , I did feel a little low watching it leave but, if I kept it I wouldnt be able to buy any more .

You got good money for it so don't feel bad. He got a really nice truck, and you got a really good price. Both of y'all should be very happy....



"should" be any way....

[lolife99]

Frank you sound like a real truck guy. $9500 is a good price for your truck. In this day and age of people just trying to make a quick buck,... it's nice to see a buyer who appreciates the "real deal" enough to pay the price. Your "road prep" says alot about you. Maybe you'll have a truck that I can own someday. NOW,... what are you buying next?
