So the first thing I like to do is make a list of the obvious items that need to be fixed to sale the truck. We all know that a truck that can drive down the road, stop and functions properly and safely is worth more. I have an excel sheet that I use to get a better project scope and cost.

Here are the priority items:
1. Get it running if the motor is good and all system that support it are working properly - if not then remove and put in a small block 350 that I have that is a runner
2. Transmission - make sure it is shifting properly and all fluids are flushed and filter replaced
3. Check all brakes and system for anything that needs to be replaced, fluids, pads, disc, rotors, master cylinder, lines, lights and lenses...etc
4. Check that the seatbelts are in good working order and are not faulty - if so then replace with 3-point system, pretty easy deal for safety sake
5. Tires - make sure that tires are in good shape and ready for the road

Here are the items that are secondary:
6. Interior condition
7. Rust repair that could be a deal breaker
8. Paint and Trim
