Tough to set a value, due to so few that aren't 'restore thread', 'found in a field, needs help' trucks. It appears this forum is weak on good examples in the marketplace.
If you are looking to price a clean used Ford truck, I'd take a look at the KBB for your area. Adjusted for condition. Look at Craigslist to see what similar trucks are going for. Then look at some of the online or rack mags like the auto trader etc. It sounds like your rig is in decent shape so a premium price might be proffered.
Understood, KBB doesn't go back to 86, NADA/J D Powers' result is silly. Very few, really, are available. Guess I'll start high. See attached
Suuure, comes with a bridge, too!

I've been following prices of trucks just so I can keep track of what it would take for me to be made whole in case of an accident and setting my coverage based on used trucks similar to mine. So I have seen trucks that mostly fall within that range you posted. I'm insuring mine for 2.5 times higher than standard insured value for my truck.
One guy on Craigslist posted a good price for a truck on the listing then when you open the listing he tells you that there's been a bid above the asking price and he's giving a time limit of so many days to best the most recent bid. Kinda turned his ad into an ebay auction. I wonder if he's the bidder?
Surprised that they're so high, but yes- having to fight with a lowball insurance payout rarely works out well.
Thanks for the info!
