What are these trucks worth? I seen a 78 that was in poor rusted condition yesterday here in Grand Forks. He wanted 3995.00 for it and honestly with the amount of rust I don't think it would be worth all the $$$ necessary to fix it up. I should take a pix of it and post it to see what you guys think.
If its a rust bucket that sounds a little high to me.. Really depends on options and how complete the truck was ( Air cleaner, fresh air ducts, chrome steps, stacks, bucket seats, etc...) Supposedly only around 680 or so of the 1978 models have survived...Just like many project vehicles it will never be a money maker but its a labor of love...

they are all over the place.. have seen real nice restored ones that guys are 14+k. but i don't seem to see them actually sell.
78 is worth more than the 79 because of the production numbers.
problem is you have to put a lot of money into it and it and in the end it won't be worth so much. plus the air cleaner, air tubes,wood,chrome stps and stacks are the expensive parts. if they are not there its gonna cost you to get them. some of it is repopped but it sure isn't cheap.

Well , I took a few pix in the rain; couldn't get the hood open to see what surprises there were. But it is in rough shape; grille dented, lots of rust, bed wood rotten and lots of dents. here are a few pix.

It does look rough, I can already see that the original exhaust tips are wrong, & the tailights...I give no more than 2500.00 for it if it has the original engine, trans, aircleaner, chrome valve covers, tubes, wheels, ect, ect.
Try to talk him down for sure.
