and the truck is white door,right fender is grey primer, needs shocks and some mechanical work nothing serious, I am not a mechanic
and its become a money pit and just tired of playing around with it..Really don't want to get rid of it but between reg fees/taxes/ins it just not worth keeping around but its been reliable for the most part Its not showroom new .lol, My question is how much should
I ask for it ? Any response be greatly appreciated

The prices (values?) of pickups are VERY regional. I'd suggest you mosey around your local Craigslist and see what others are asking (and don't think they are GETTING what they are asking).

For what it's worth, I've found (here in SF Bay Area) that dealers often give a lower asking price. I guess they want to get you in the door, and then hold firm on the price. But if you're asking $5,000 and your potential buyers pull out an ad listing a similar one for $1,900, you know they aren't likely to bite.

Dealers generally pay at least $1k under market/retail rates. They need to compensate their sales guys (likely commission) as well as pay detail, etc, team to work the vehicle on lot, but more likely than not it's going to auction where some used car dealer will buy at wholesale and need at least $500 profit...

Plus of dealer sales is that if any issues, they won't come back accusing you of hiding some defect, etc.
