Got an opportunity to buy a couple parts trucks but the owner wants me to offer him a price. Here's what I know about them, There's actually a 3rd which is a 84-85 I did not get pics of, It has been side swiped on drivers side , had a working 5 speed, bad 22r from broken timing chain piled with junk, sat for 6-7 years

1983 , working l52 5 speed, rebuilt parts store 22r with about 5k ( napa, autozone he cant remember ) engine looks new & was super clean inside, clean oil, radiator full of clean coolant This truck has set 10 years though turned over by hand. Gas tank rusted out after engine install, his brother died before he could replace the tank so this one got parked. No frame rot but likely that rats have chewed some wires he thinks

82/83 short bed. Bad 22r due to rod knock , missing trans, missing distributor , no frame rot, some body damage " custom hood " missing the grill, No rat damage to wires .... Yet ( his brother died in the blue 4x4 in the background so he doesn't want to sell it )

 

$500.00 apiece tops. I'd offer $800 for both trucks, then let him throw you a counter offer. Wait, you said 3 trucks, so still $500.00 apiece, $1500.00 for the three would be my top dollar. Do they have titles? That will effect the price too. What the heck,offer a grand for all 3 and see what happens. All he can do is say no and run you off. Have cash in hand and be ready to buy.

 

I think 81 4X4's assessment is spot on.

 

Agreed, thanks guys
