I have a 78 F250 4X4 with just shy of 40K original miles. All original some surface rust. Located in Alaska. Original owner, 400 with auto trans. Not a barn find stored outside so not pristine. How do I set a selling price for this rig? Anybody in Alaska who would know the value of this truck? Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
John

 

Unfortunatly since it was outside, the low milelage doesn't mean much. It might even mean some stuff deteriorated from sitting. I would price it the same as any other F250 4x 4 goes for in your area.

 

Have to see pictures but at least 5k up here is a good starting point,there not that easy to find in good condition.all the trucks i got have had to have all new body parts,due to Alaska roads/rust
Just my opinion,i know most of the nice trucks around 73-79 and you arent touching them for under 10k in sweet shape/new paint

 

Thanks for the replies. I may just drop by some of the lots in town and see what they have to say. Figure if they offer me a sum it probably is worth at least 30% more or so.

looks good !!!

 

wow,must be north of wasilla with no salt on the roads,or the 40,000 mile explains alot.Sweet rig,what are you going to ask for it.I live Soldotna.

 

Asking price is what I am trying to determine. Not north of wasilla located in Eagle River. Was used for commuting for just a couple years in the early 80's. Was zbarted when new. Few rust spots but none through. Needs all new rubber, hoses etc. Front brakes replaced completely 2 years ago with new calipers etc. All else stock. Auto trans with 400 engine. 10 mpg loaded or empty.
