I had a parts wanted ad and a guy called me. I went and looked at his truck and it did not have what I needed. Out of curiosity I asked him if he wanted to part the truck out or sell complete. It is an old Air Force service 3/4t 2wd, auto. Nothing special. Had been sitting for about 15+ years since he parked it off a wrecker. Said it ran back then,ok. It was grundgy as you could expect but complete with some dented fenders, cracked glass and mouse ridden rest of it. He said he wanted $4,000.00, it is a '77. He reasoning is simple that is the prices he's been seeing. To me it is a $100.00 parts piece. Also found out the transmission had no reverse. I blame Barret-Jackson for the crazy prices but people need to realize those are very good OE or completely rebuilt.
