What's my truck worth?

What's my truck worth?
Ok, so I have owned this truck for a month or so. I really like it but i dont really think it's my "cup of tea" so to speak.
I was wondering what some other members/owners would think is a good price to sell it for.
Year: 1982 SR5
Engine: 22r
Trans: 5spd 4x4
Miles: 124,400 ORIGINAL miles
Pros:
-31x10.5x15 street tires ( 50%tread)
-front bumper/brush guard
-tow hitch/trailer wiring
-rebuilt carb (2 days ago)
-flowmaster exhaust (dual tipped)
-new cat.
-passed smog Apr 27 this year
-WORKING A/C
-new windshield (6 months old)
-NOT A DENT IN THE TRUCK, besides the tailgate ( it's kind of bashed)
-Nice Pioneer radio/deck
-Tune up, including:
Fuel tank has been removed/cleaned. All fuel lines have been cleaned. New spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap/rotor, new pcv valve, new air and fuel filter. (last week)
-25mpg ~ estimated
Cons:
-Heater controls are broken (can fix)
-Heater doesnt work (needs new core, I think)
-No door speakers, just one on the floor
-Trans doesn't like to engage into First gear from dead stop
(likes to pop out on occasion, only in First)
The interior isn't in the best shape. But its a 30 yr old truck....
This is the only pic I have at the moment. I'll take some more tomorrow and post them.
Thanks

Price can vary quite a bit depending on your location. I'm sure some others will chime in but have you tried looking at your local ads to see what they're selling for in your area?
Generally speaking I'd say probably $1500-2500 depending on condition/location.

Is that where the truck spent most of it's life or do you know? If it's a central California truck it probably won't have much rust if any. That would obviously be a selling point.

Yea in cen cal most of it's life.. I've checked inside, outside, underneath, inbetween and everywhere else i can think of and I haven't found any... Even the bed is in excellent shape.. The bed hasn't been beat up or dinged or anything major. If i were to repaint the truck. You honestly would think it was brand new.

If it really has no rust and is as straight as you say, I'd pay $2500 for it...if I was in the market for a 1st gen 4x4 of course.
That said, you may be able to get a little more for it if you're patient. I'd wait to see what some other members think also. If I were in your shoes, and I'm not saying you should to this, I'd slap $3k on it and see what kind of responses I got.
