Trade? Good?bad?equal?
What u guys think? I got a 78 stepside custom deluxe,primer gray that needs body work, cab corner,needs rad support,bedsides and bodywork. It has a 250 ci with a auto b&m floorshifter, rebuild front end, lowered with spindles and springs and air shocks outback. 15 inch rims. This guy wants to trade for a 92 red chevy stepside with stock 350, lowered, flows, 188 thou miles, salvage title. Whats your guys opinion?

Re: Trade? Good?bad?equal?
From the description, both truck sound like they are worth about equal. Just a guess without pics.

Re: Trade? Good?bad?equal?
I personally stay away from anything with a salvage title

Re: Trade? Good?bad?equal?
I'd keep the 78 man. much cooler truck and there are far less of them around. I get at least a few compliments on my truck a week even after someone wrecked the passenger side of it for me.

Re: Trade? Good?bad?equal?
Branded titles follow you forever and ever. Personally, I have no issues buying a salvaged vehicle and rebuilding it myself. But I'd never buy one with a salvage title not really knowing what was done, by who and with what.
188k on that 92 is a lot of rounds on the clock if the motor has not been rebuilt. What's the old saying? "It's on borrowed time."

Re: Trade? Good?bad?equal?
I have bought salvage titles cars several times. In each case they were completely repaired to like new condition, I paid 2/3rd's (or less) of book value, and I drove them forever before I sold them.
I would never consider buying a salvage vehicle, fixing it a little, and selling it right away. It doesn't matter how nice they are, that salvage title scares a ton of people away. Do not trade.

Re: Trade? Good?bad?equal?
sounds like a 78 good truck, for a 92 bad truck
I'd let it be someone else's project
