Whats this truck worth

[Joe Cool]

I dont have any pictures but have a description

I have a 27,000 one owner truck that belonged to my father inlaw
Its a 2500 3/4 ton with auxilery tanks
I had to put in one new tank and rebuild the carb.
It has new tires
The dash pad is cracked and the rubber around the windows is cracked
The truck is a florida truck and the bottom is spotless and no rust with original paint.
Its ugly green in fair........too good to show the famous Patina BS

I want to sell this truck............now

Whats it is really worth.........the miles are accurate and so is the description..

Seems like these trucks may be worth more in some areas than others. I'm assuming a 2wd truck, work truck package. Maybe $3500 +/-$500.

Up here, it would be worth good money for the rust free body, but 2wd would hurt you. A rust free 4wd would go for close to $10K depending on the buyer.

Just a guess though, as pics and more details would help. Some people's ideas of "clean" and "runs well" are vastly different from others. With only 27K miles this could be a real creampuff.

Look up NADA book value for your area.

How are you verifying the odometer has not rolled around once or twice or three times?

I know the truck.........the same man had it since new and died at 97

Its spotless

Without photos and only a description that sounds like a middle of the road truck, I don't see more than $1500. It would help if you could verify the miles and had pictures, but then again, old is old. Age sometimes is harder on something that just sits than something that is actually used.

There are dozens of 3/4 trucks in this area that sound just like you described. What they leave out is that it spent its life spreading feed and hay and living in a barn with the cats and mice. The undercarriage is spotless, because.... well go look at some old farm trucks and tractors that spend a lot of time driving through the pasture, you'll see. Driving around in that tall grass and weeds, especially on a damp morning, does wonders for cleaning up underneath.

This is my opinion, and it actually comes from someone who could even be interested in buying that truck.

"you know the truck" but I DONT AND NEITHER DOES ANYONE ELSE HERE.

Without pictures we cannot say to you what we think it is worth, based solely on "what you know." We don't know anything, and can't base something upon the fact that "you know it."

3/4 ton is worth less than 1/2 ton to most buyers. LWB is worth less than SWB to most buyers.

You describe a cracked dash and dried out and splitting crumbling rubber stripping. Combine that with the alleged low mileage and I bet the hoses and lines are dried hard and all need replacement. Sounds to me like the interior plastics will be dried out and brittle, crumbling to powder. Sounds like it will need a 100% interior makeover, a paint job, and all the rubber on the truck replaced before it is even a decent driver.

If you had pictures of these things that might change those assumptions, but, can't answer those questions just by going off a statement that "you know this truck."

Based on the existing assumptions, it sounds like a $1k to $2k truck tops.

Thats of course what you think without pictures........but it really is a nice truck with 0 rust and the original paint......no rust in the rockers or anywhere else. A one owner old mad driven truck. Its in Florida so the sun bakes the dash pads........I have a 2011 GMC crew cab that I bought new...it sits out in the sun alot with no dash pad..........I have 37,000 miles on the truck now..at 35K under warranty a couple of months ago........GM had to replace the dash pad !

But the truck in every respect is solid....except for what I mentioned. It also has new tires that were just purchased....

3k to 5k ball park on the price,Low mileage is nice but its hard to prove on something older even with being a one owner.Its a long bed 2wd the most common truck made this body style.Most won't spend big money on a truck unless its a short bed or a rare trim level.

Yes I understand............I could paint it but somebody might think your hiding something..
O rust and low miles..........which is easy to prove..........

It really does not matter what I or anyone else thinks it worth. The ONLY person that matters to is you and the buyer. I can tell you no matter what number anyone gives you, the buyer WILL ALWAYS try to get a better price for themselves. So come up with a number YOU want to get for the truck and sell it!!!!
