need some selling advice

[MattK]

well i'm thinkin about sellin my 79. im kinda finishing up a 465 swap right now(it's driveable just no 4x4 yet, but it will be before i would sell) in a word my truck is rough. i really had intentions to turn it into a trail truck.

the goods:
79 blazer
400 small block
sm465 4 spd
np205 twinsticked 1410 yoke
1410 rear shaft
14bff 4.56s, gov locked, 1410 yoke, disc
10b front 4.56s, lockright, 8 lug, warn premium hubs
37" swamper ssrs on 16x10 steelies, identical spare

4" tuff country springs up front
4" ord shackle flip + 1" zero rate out back
(fender opening top is about 42-43")
ord steering brace(no frame cracks)


exterior:
front warn classic bumper modded to fit tighter to the body(not going to sell the winch with the truck)
truck tailgate
roof rack

interior:
rear folding seat works and is in decent shape
bedlined cargo area(old)
vinyl ford bucket seats in great shape, driver is power
no carpet, some rust, but none through the metal
no radio
all gauges except speedo work

stuff that needs work:
rear main seal needs replacing
front seal on tranny needs replacing
body is getting beat up
speedo doesn't work (just needs new cable)

that's all i can think of for now. what kind of sellin price do you think i can ask? this is in the dallas area.

ya it seems stupid. now that i think about it, i probably couldn't even sell it for what i have in that swap. maybe ill just stick it in storage for a while. i just know that now isn't a smart time for me to be pissing away cash on it.(still live at home)

i hear ya..i still live at home and i sometimes question the money spent on my truck. i question bout selling it..then i cry.

Matt, dont do it!! Dear god dont do it!

Set it to the side for awhile, throw your money in the bank.....handle school, food, keep the supra moving, dont blow money on gas unless you have to, work your ass off, and when you start getting to a good note pull the blaze out and have some fun...

I keep thinking of sellin mine, but i cant give up on something ive put hard work into and had so much fun in....No matter how many times i blow it up.
