Need help in determining WIW for 78 K30 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**ScottH** · 12-16-2008, 11:21 AM

I came across a beast of a truck in pretty good shape. It's a 78 K30 dually Camper Special with 95k original miles on it. Pretty loaded w/ 400/400 engine & trans combo, A/C, cruise, power windows, aux trans cooler, dual tanks. Engine and trans I'm told have about 1k miles on it. Body not in that bad shape, needs drivers floor, both rockers and cab corners. Comes with plow & cab.

The bad news is it has been off the road for at least 16 years. Seller used it from time to time to clear snow from his business lot. I'm guessing it needs tires, exhaust, and the ususal things from sitting. Runs great as he ran it from time to time. Tanks not hooked up due to old gas.

Can anyone give me a ballpark as to what the value might be on this truck?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Scott

Without seeing picture of it hard to say, but here in Denver a 1ton in that condition w/plow would be worth $1500-$2000

Sounds like it could be on the road but as of right now it is considered a yard truck. But a 1 ton yard truck. I would say between 1,000- 1,800 is fair only because it is a 1 ton and has the plow. with out the plow around 1,000 because of its parts value. As stated above with out a pic it is hard to say.

Pics aren't the greatest. I think it's a pretty nice truck, nicely optioned. Should go anywhere, pull anything. The black on black is a real magnet for me.
