I saw an old truck on the side of the road with swampers so I decided to look at it.
77 chevy 3/4 ton, 350/400/205, d60 front, 14 rear, on 38.5 radials i think.
Called the guy, says yeah it was my sons, he's going through a divorce. I lent him $6000 and I got this truck. He says it's got that dana 60 in the front and rear and the front has all new seals. Said he's asking $3000, but he would take $2500. He said that without me even saying it was too much. So I figure I could get it for 2250 or maybe 2000. The guy has no idea how many miles are on it.
From what I can tell it was built to be a mud truck and is all mis matched. No 3/4 came with a D60. Body is in bad shape. So lets go through what it would be worth to me. I'd sell the 400/205 to recoupe money. D60 also has a raised steering block.
The main reason in buying this is to make the blazer half way into a respectable vehicle. Rob the d60 front and the tires.
So lets break this down.
Engine - It runs. $100 maybe 200? Id sell it
400/205 - looks like the lowest people pay is around $500 anyone know if this price is right?
D60 - I wouldn't pay more than $500 for one so thats how much it's worth to me.
Tires - cost 301 a piece new, I'll give him 500
14 bolt - 150
Steering wheel $50?
I need some of this **** for the buggy anyways, 14 bolt, steering wheel. What else would I need for the buggy that might be on this truck?? What else could I part out?
That makes this truck worth about $2000 to me.
I'd sell the 10 bolt **** off the blazer, might get me 200.
What else can I part out or use on this truck??
Maybe the lift?? It's at least 8" I have no idea. maybe 200?
