Re: Think this is a fair price? 69 4x4 8 lug with 454

Id have to see it in person. The pictures aren't good enough to tell the real story on what's happening there. But if someone actually does pay 7K for it, that makes me happy because it makes mine worth more, right? I don't mean more that 7K lol!

You need to put much better pictures in your ad, especially if you are asking $7,000. There isn't one picture of the passenger side which will make people wonder what you are hiding. Lots of mechanicals in the description but nothing about the body. And that's too bad because flat black hides a lot, so the flat black combined with the poor photos leaves a lot to guess
Get better photos up.
Get lots of info in there about the body.
What do you want to know when you are buying a truck? What questions would you ask? What questions would other people ask? Answer all of those questions in your ad.

Just from i can see in the pics, that truck is a disaster, mechanically and electrically.

Maybe it's just me, but the front wheel fits the wheel well kinda wonky. Maybe an older cab and box on a later model frame? Also has the later model seats.
Apparently the tank has been relocated as well.

I know I wouldn't shell out 7,000 grand for it. There are a lot nicer 4x4's out there for 7,000 grand and under.

Fair to him, not anyone else. No way would I fork out 7,000 for that mess. I would say it's worth a max of 4,000 if it is mechanically sound axle to axle and the cab and bed are decent

Was that a typo in the ad ? Did they mean $700.00 ? Does it come with the 5th wheel trailer ? It should .

I wouldnt pay 7,000 for someone's pieced together project. I agree with GR8-68 on it being worth 4,000 at the most.
