Whats my truck worth?

So I'm thinking about selling my 1995 F250 extended cab 4x4. It has a 351W in it with 108,333 original miles. I replaced the torque converter about 5,000 miles ago. I also replaced the front fuel pump, fuel hanger, and cleaned the tank. I've replaced the ball joints all around, front stabilizer, and links. i replaced the belt with a gatorback about 500 miles ago. also the tensioner pulley and idler. I replaced the front right brake rotor, left outer and inner tie rods. and did a recent alignment. Did a total brake job. The truck runs strong and Ive kept up on oil changes and maintenance. The truck does have a salvaged title, Due to a minor front end wreck it was in at 90,000 miles. The guy who owned it paid to have the truck repainted two tone black and red, as well as the front body panels and hood replaced. He also replaced the windshield at the time. I bought it this way at 97,000 miles and haven't had troubles. the interior is well maintained. Black tool box. It has straight dual exhaust with 18" stainless steel tips. I'm hoping to get $5000 out of it? thnxs!

I am sorry, but for 5,000 I will go buy a power stroke .

Your truck is closer to a 2500-3000 truck

After browsing Craigslist for the last week or so, I have to say I'm with Brad. For $5k I can get a 97 CC 460, or even a Powerstroke if you look hard enough. The thing is, even with all that you have done to your truck, they are items that need to be done anyways. They don't improve the value of the truck. And the salvaged title doesn't help either. I would say $2500-$3500 at most.

Naww you cant find a powerstroke of the same year for less than 7500$ here. So I'm sure you wouldn't. And most trucks the same year as mine and in the same condition are going for at least $4k.

I posted interior pics at my garage.

Well I just looked around and for ~$4500 you can get one equipped the same as yours of same or close year in nearly perfect condition. Factory paint, near perfect interior, no damage at all and a clean title. You might be able to get $4k out of it.

Here's a $4600 truck in WA. 460 CC/LB F350 4x4
http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/ctd/3560285583.html

Little higher miles but again, 460. And $4200 to boot.
http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/3566990786.html

And the last, a PSD F250.

There's a lot of competition in truck in WA right now.

I'd guess $4k'ish around here on the high side. Salvage title means a lot to a lot of people.

Where I live (northwest ohio) trucks are EXPENSIVE. These idiots here all think they're rotted out '88 chevy with 400k miles on it is worth 5k.. Given the work you've done to that truck I'd give you exactly $1600 at most. It's not really anything special and the salvage titles cuts the value in half in most cases. It's harder to get it registered.

even the trucks with the 7.3l psd's are all old now.we have to face it.even if they have great fresh rebuilt diesels or gas engines in them,these are still old trucks that require wrenching fairly regularly if you run 'em.shoot,even a 4-5 yr old truck needs some love once in a while.they don't last forever and they are not the state of the art that new ones are (even if we do hate the looks and the complexity.) they are only worth so much.
remember too,the economy is in the gutter and fuel prices are record high.add those together and what can we expect? trucks being sold next to nothing of course.the purchase price of the truck today is nothing compared to the operating cost of it.especially when compared to a car.
im totally shocked to see people still driving trucks around empty like cars.i simply don't understand how they're getting a hold of so much spare money.id like in on it though,i know that lol.
