Like the title says, I am considering selling one of my Series Trucks.........I have a friend that is looking pretty hard and keeps coming back to mine. I really had no plans of selling, but have actually found another truck that I would be interested in if this one leaves the stable.
My delima is how to price my truck. I know what I have in it and I honestly have no realistic expectation to get it all back, but I want to get a fair price for both of us.
The Truck:
1984 Series 3 Station Wagon
Upgrades/Replaced Parts:
New Fuel Tank
New Fuel Tank Outrigger
New Transmission Crossmember
Rocky Mountain Parabloic Springs w/ Pro Comp Shocks and new hardware
New Brakes - New cylinders, new shoes, new springs, new drums, new lines, new servo, new master cylinder......totally replaced.
New Clutch Master Cylinder
Re-built Weber Carb
New Fuel Lines and Filter
New Plugs
New Distrubuter
New Capacitor
Compression is good on all cylinders
Front End - New Swivel Balls, New Railco Bushings, New Bearings and Races, New Oil Seals, New Hub Oil Seals, New Gaskets, etc........Pulled off, cleaned and painted or replaced.
Misc. seals.....Pinion Oil seals, etc.
Wheels - Sandblasted and Powder Coated Limestone
Tires - New 255/85/16 BFG Mud Terrain
The Bad:
Quarter Sized hole in the driver floor panel.
There is a little rust on the bulkhead corners just under the windshield.
General Rust - There are other locations of rust, but mostly around dissimilar metal connections.....the truck is solid and not rusting away, but not perfect either.
Paint - The paint looks awesome from 10' away but has some runs in it........purely cosmetic, but not perfect.
Doors - Door frames have some rust.......they work perfectly, so I have no intention of replacing but it's there.
Gearbox - Occasionally I have a hard time engaging first gear. To me it's not a huge deal because I can quickly hit another gear and always get back into first, but I know it's not "normal".
Overall:
I would have no trouble getting in the this truck today and driving several hundred miles safely and reliably. I drive it just about every day to work and drive it all weekend long without issue. My truck sits in my driveway collecting dust.
So, what say you?
