'79 F250 Value??

I know that this may not be in the correct forum, but I did not know where else I should place it. I think I may want to sell my current "fun" truck since I just got a new truck (05 f350 Harley diesel crew). Anyway I really have no idea how much this truck should go for. I know what I want to at least get for it but I don't know if thats realistic. Ok... the truck is a 79 f250. Has a dana 60 high pinion front and dana 60 rear with limited slip. Driveline has all new u-joints and seals. Brakes are great, and has rear disc brakes, all new lines and master cylinder(no e-brake). Comes with custom rear tube bumper with integral hitch and tow points and front winch bumper w/tow points and a 10,500lb mm hydro winch. Has new power steering box which wasnt cheap. rear suspension is stock and front has "highboy" springs. Has a three inch body lift to clear the 38" swamper tsl that are about 40%. np435/np205 and motor is a 400 that burns oil but has an edelbrock carb, intake, and cam. the truck was a daily driver and took it on 200+mile trips no prob(just would burn about 3 quarts in that trip!!!) the body is decent with a large dent on the pass. door and rear of the bed (damn trees!) Has dual tanks with working selector switch. All accessories work. I wish I had pics but none online.
Sorry this is so long but I think i got everything. If the price goes high enough, i will throw in the hi-lift and some straps and chain and toolbono tools)for some enticement(sp.?) I am in northern New Jersey.
SO what do you guys think? How much can I expect to get for it?(Once again if I am in the wrong place let me know...)

It really depends on where you live. Around my area you can't give one away, in any condition.

I was thinking about parting it out, but I no longer live where the truck is actually sitting, (my parents driveway haha) so parting it out would be a serious batttle vs my mom considering I put it together in the same driveway and she didnt like it much haha

Hard to give a value without knowing where you live with gas at $3 a gallon. Start it at $1200 on E-Bay and go from there since you are not able to part it out. Unlikely to get someone local that will appreciate it.

I would at least remove the winch, you can use that on your new truck and you will not get the money out of the sale to recover it's real value.

HAHA funny guys, but I know what the parts are worth, but like i said parting it out is not really an option. I dunno what I'm going to do, but if I do part it you will all be the first to know.
