Hate to do it...\"what\'s my truck worth\" post...
Hey all, I've been toying with the idea of selling my truck to get something a little newer/more practical for now. Before you try to talk me out of it, let me tell you this hasn't been an easy decision. I'm not positive I'll do it at this point, but pretty sure of it. I'm emotionally attached to my truck...something about all the hours and sweat (and $) I've put into it that makes it hard to let go. I actually never thought I'd be making this post.
Anyway, I haven't driven my truck in a while (it's sitting at home while I'm at school), I'll be working a co-op this next spring so I'll need a vehicle, and my truck is not only impractical, it's impossible to keep in Madison. I'm thinking I'll buy a '97-98 Chevy 1500 4x4 pickup.
Okay, so now that you've made it through that sob story...how much is my truck worth?
The basics:
1990 Chevy Suburban 1500 Silverado 4x4
168,000 miles
7' Western Plow
350 TBI engine (original)
700R4 tranny (original)
NP241 t-case (original)
Privacy Glass
Steps
Spoiler /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Roof rack
AC (redone with R-134A last year)
Cruise Control that doesn't work so well
The add-ons (that will be included with the truck):
4" Rough Country lift (all springs - no blocks)
33" BFG AT's (60-70% tread)
15" black steel rims
14 bolt FF rear, open w/ 3.73's
D44 front, open w/ 3.73's - everything from carrier out replaced last year
Tachometer
Tranny temp gauge
Tranny cooler
TBI spacer
K&N filter
Custom dual exhaust
EXTRA SET of rust-free barn doors
The bad:
Slight rust-through on rear fenders/rockers
Paint peeling on roof
Rear tailpan could use replacing
Everything on under-body pretty much rust-coated (thank you road salt)
No major floor-pan rust-through that I can tell
10 mpg
Overall:
Still a lot of shiny paint
Virtually no dents
Runs great...no issues with starting/driving
Near MINT interior
I've kept every receipt for my truck. Adding everything I've spent on my truck comes to almost $6000 (obviously not all of that is on the truck right now...some of that is special tools, and things I won't be including).
OKAY, now....throw out a price please!!!
Thanks.
(P.S. Don't think that I'll be getting out of the wheeling world...once I'm out of college and have money and a place to work on stuff, I'm going to get a rust free truck and do a quality off-road build-up for sure!)
