I paid $800 for my 1980 K25 in complete, non-rusted condition. It hadn't been on the road in a lot of years, but it was all there and wasn't seized up. $800 for something that is missing the entire drivetrain(which is most of the price in these) and doesn't even have a way to steer or stop it is crazy. I would offer the guy $250 and work from there... like others have said, he's willing to drive 1 1/2 hours to deliver it because no one else wants it for anywhere near that price. If it was a 4wd, and had a drivetrain, then maybe....

Okay I see what you guys are saying, I'm saying a example just like it but with engine and trans is gonna be 2500. Will I put that in putting parts in? Yes, but journey not destination thing. And I haven't bought a square before, but this is one I'd like to finish because it's complete in the areas mine isn't and the parts it needs are things I have or wouldn't have a hard time getting. And like I said, 2wd instead of 4wd is a bonus here. It also has roof markers and is yellow.. those aren't so common :(

500 dollars around here here you a frame and axles. Maybe a decent box without major damage. Maybe an okay cab. 850 for all 3 doesn't seem outrageous in comparison? Then also having a title, body, complete beside the 4 big items, and isn't rotted out. You guys I know live where these are cheap and abundant but not everyone can travel 6 hours one way to buy a truck. Plus I can actually wrench in a truck because I will have chosen it and I don't have to tie up my snow plow :(

Go for it, if it's what you really want to do. Better still if you can go down there and check it out, throw an offer at him.

@Rusty Nail i think you and i both know the real candidates for this truck are the flathead v8 ford and the 2 speed powerglide, i mean, we arent savages of course.

Or maybe flathead 6 out of a 40s dodge truck

**** it, oldsmobile 260 @Matt69olds watch out im gonna beat you in a race

No, you can have the 170 flathead 6 and borg warner automatic drive transmission from my '51 Studebaker. That ought to move a big truck like that.

I agree, you need to snag it. You should offer 600 Washington's for it.

Some folks negotiate differently when its a female, but if he's like me, I've had way too many females demand I treat them the same as anyone else. Now, I don't even think twice, no mater what the gender or what they identify as.
