Value 1979 4x4 extended cab
thinking about selling the best car I've ever owned. she just doesn't get used anymore. Has about 110,000 orig. miles and had the 400 replaced with a 460 a couple years ago but very few miles put on the new engine.

it has more done to it but without getting into the details or placing an actual 4sale ad. any thoughts on (ballpark) current value?

Hard to put a value on these truck by any means they dont really fetch big big dollars especially when they are all dulled up unless someone who absolutely loves theese old trucks and is willing to pay thats the main thing the market demand for them and whoever is interested how much they want to spend
