I went to look at the truck for abyars111.
The truck is miles from my house. Do you guys think it's worth $3,000.
I am not doing any negotiations, that's between the buyer & the seller.
It does have a straight body. It's got a nice interior, other than the ripped front seat & cracked dash pad. Which are both easy to fix. It's got a strong running 400 backed by a C-6. It's got new tires, new exhaust & new ignition system. I don't have any experience with '77+ trucks, or 400s. However this one ran great. All opinions & comments are welcome. (Those are shadows, not dents)

Honestly for what ive seen some go for that seems like a decent price. Theres one near me that need alot of work and they are trying to get 3500 for it. It requires a full resto but theres not and cab rot. Fenders smashed and it needs a new bed.

I believe that is a good price. I'm not sure if it matters to abyars111 but with it being a 1977 California truck I imagine it has smog equipment on it. It is not a huge deal, but it is simply something to factor in.

I had mine shipped from Oregon to South Carolina in June 10 and it cost me $1300. At first the bid was out for $900 and nobody would bit on it because it was too low then I had to bump it up to $1300. Now with the price of diesel you might have to go to $1500.

I suspect your looking at about $1,000. It really depends on whether you go through a broker, a long distance hauler or an independent who has room on their trailer during a run. Anything more than that is too high in my opinion. The other option is to buy a plane ticket to LAX and drive I-10, enjoying the beauty of the USA.

My first crew I bought in 2006 in Apple Valley CA and flew to las vegas and a friend drove me from vegas to apple valley then I drove it all the way back to south carolina. Cost me over $700 in gas plus I had to change the fuel pump in the guys drive way before I could even begin my trip. Then hotels, food all came up to more then 1400.
