Welcome to the site

Here are some things you need to know.

***351 Small block***

Ford doesn't use the small block/big block description ...Thats a GM thing

Ford has Engine families

Your truck will have the 351M in it. The 351M is part of the 335 engine series family along with its older cousin the 351C and the precursor to the 351M , the 400

The 351M is a de-stroked 400.

Next <>

*Posi-traction (not possy)

Posi-Traction is another GM term and doesn't apply to Fords.

Ford's terms are "Limited Slip" & "Traction Loc" .

Other makes have other terms.

Selling price:

I am sure you can understand that because I can't see it,feel it,inspect it, test drive it, it is "Virtually Impossible" to put a value on any vehicle.... over the net.

Post number 3 on this Read FIRST Thread will also explain about users asking for truck values.

Good luck & I hope you enjoy the site

You can always look in auto trader type magazine in your locale to see what price other trucks are being asked

There are just too many variables for anyone to put a price tag on it here. Like Dennis said, we can't even see it in person. I wouldn't use e-bay as a sounding board either. You never know whats on the up & up there. A lot of people are shill bidding & a lot of the stuff is misrepresented & doesn't sell anyways. Maby you could take it to a local used car lot and get a opinion from someone who sells vehicles in your area.

Not sure what to tell you about the reupholstery. Just find a local shop that does it, can't help you with price though, about a year ago my brother becaome good friends with a guy whose mother owned a place that did vehicle interior stuff. Redid all of his seats with red and black leather in his Integra for $200.
