Just wondering

I don't mean for this to be an advertisement or a classified ad by anymeans, but I was just wondering how much I would be able to get for my truck if I did sell it. And your opinion of it. Maybe something I should do to it? Here's a list of what it's got, good and bad.....

It's a 78 F-100 Custom cab on a shortbox 4x4 frame, the cab corners are shot, but i have new ones, they just need to be welded in. I have 2 bucket seats instead of the bench, the interior is in o.k condition, just a couple cracks on the dash. The box is totally shot, that needs to be replaced.

I have a 2V 351 C in it, mated to an NP435 and Dana 21 Transfer case. The motor was re-ringed last January. Runs like a top now. There's no mods done to it, only a 2bbl motocraft carb on it, with an msd blaster 2 coil. I also did some work to my tranny, just took it apart, replaced a couple bearings and resealed it. Same with the transfer case. Also a brand new clutch.

The rear-end is a 9" with a Richmond mini-spool, just put it in last month. Front end is a Dana 44, nothing special, just a set of WARN manual hubs. The passenger side spring perch is cracked in half.

The truck is lifted, but it's all suspension, either 4-6 inches, not really sure(was like that when i bought it). And i have 33" BFG Mud Terrains, well only 2 that hold air right now, and they have about 80% tread left on 'em.

I also have a heavy duty bush bumper on the front, made of 3/8" steel(good for knockin over trees) . with a set of KC competition lights.

Apparently she's been everywhere in the bush around my town. I've done tons of work to my truck, and I lover her. Just sometimes she makes me mad and I'm planning on moving to a bigger city , and if need be, i might have to sell her so i was just wondering your opinion on what i might be able to ask.

Ford never made an 78 F100 4x4.

Perhaps an F150?

Yeah I know Ford never made a 78 F-100 Custom 4x4. It's not stock, and Ford never put a 351 C in a truck either, (well except for the Ranchero) I said I had a 78 F-100 custom cab and nothing is original.

I'll be up right and honest dude. I bought my 78 Bronco that didn't have but one scratch, 62K orginal miles, great looking factory paint, no dents, near perfect on the inside and only 2500 miles on the tires for only $2300.00. I believe that is because I live in a mid-sized city and the guy had the truck forsale for over 3 months. He had started the price at 4K but keep dropping as no one would even come and look at it.

I guess it is what part of the country you live in as to weather or not it is a buyers or sellers market. Around here you can get an early 90's big SUV for 4K with less then 90K on the clock.

You listed a few things that would cost someone some real time and effort to fix and make the truck safe. Also as noted nothing about the truck is factory. If I was to sell your truck I would ad for 2500 and take 1500 and be happy. But like I said thats around here where the truck market is pretty full of low mileage late models and wood haulers.
