$$ For 73-79 3/4?

Wondering what you guys think is a fair price to offer,(or ask for,for that matter)

I found a, not sure what year, think 76 or 77, 3/4 long box, high pinion d44 front end. It has no motor in it, np435, think its a np205. Umm Body isnt in great shape, quite a bit of rust. Not sure what size tires, 33's or soemhing. A couple flats. I just got the guys # today, going to phone this evening.

What do you think is a fair price?? In cdn funds. I was thinkin maybe 500 ish??

Ps. I forgot to look at the cab floors. The cab corners arnt to good, wheel well minor rust, stuff like that.

sounds like a pretty fair offer to me, i picked up a 77 3/4 ton, 4x4 with the dana 44 front and an automatic a year or so ago. It came with running 400ci and a body typical for northern BC for a $1000 cdn.

make him an offer of something you think is pretty low, if he doesnt like it, ask what would be acceptable. don't play games in negotiating

yah for sure i hear yah, that 77 i have is a crew cab short box, dont like the crew cab but it works. I broke the crank in the 400ci so it got replaced with a 460, and i built a lift to clear a set of 38.5 gumbo mudders, next year i have a dana 60 front and a 70 rear to swap in, hopefully it will all work out, do you have a truck now?

I got mine for $400

The body was good and it was PA inspected, but it's only a 2wd. $500 seems about right.

Ah, nice man. Why dont you like the crew cab?
I got a 78' single cab, shortbox with some 39.5 meats and a 390. I have lotsa fun with it. Spent a bit of money on er so far, just for upgrades, not because ive had to tho. Got to go make some money now, me e.i runs out soon
That 60 and 70 combo will be real nice, and tough. My buddy has that combo under a 77 supercab. Mean stuff,
cheers
