Wow, clean and LOTS of new parts. You’ve basically done 80-90% of all of the “little stuff” that these old trucks need varying amounts of.
It’s a great project with lots of potential. But honestly it’s in the $5k range I think. Maybe a bit more to someone from the rust belt.
Your buyers market will be someone who has another $10k or 500 hours and a lot of skills. So it’s limited. It won’t be the daily driver crowd for the most part looking at it.
A year or 2 I would have said worth more but the market is finally getting a little more realistic again.
JMO.
Fair enough, not worth selling at that price imho. I'll just keep it as a winter DD and work on it as needed. I've easily spent 2x that on just parts and the trans rebuild.

I was replying to @ulm4lyf, not you.
Your truck appears to be worth SIGNIFICANTLY more than 5 grand.

Ah fair enough, I must’ve misread that.

Do you think it’s worth 10-15k ish? That’s about what I’d need for a down payment atm.
Absolutely. Especially if it’s rust free and the LS/NV swap is clean, finished and reliable.
Again hard to judge without knowing interior, paint quality, etc etc etc.
IMO you’ll lose a bit even if nice paint, just because it’s solid white.
Just put it for sale. If it’s too high, no one will call you. If it’s too low, pull the add after you get 5 calls in 6 hours.

@Ifyasquintitsmint With you being in Denver, id assume it has some rust which hurts the price imo quite a bit. LS swap helps the price as well as long as it was done half decently with no issues. The interior looks half updated which is a plus. I really like those seats. Without seeing a ton of pictures and other things you’ve done to the truck I would put the price right around 10k. If it was legitimately rust-free then the price would go up quite a bit.

What do you suppose this TPI setup is worth? The seller says pre-87 and that he doesn’t have the computer or any wiring harness.

I've paid as much as 200 and as little as 75 bucks. That looks like a clean setup though. If the injectors are newer and for a 350, that will add value. Also if the runners are free of dents.

Going to swap my 85 k1500 to automatic.
Anyone got a rough idea of what an 85 tilt standard column, 85-up hydraulic clutch pedals for hydroboost, with all hydraulics, 465/208 combo is worth? Also have the 6.2 flywheel and clutch setup. I believe the only thing missing is the bellhousing dust cover Am in SW Mississippi

You'd make more if you separated it out. I had to pass on the same pedal assembly for 250, just because I didn't have the cash on me. The column is very hard to find about 250 again. The trans, and transfer case easy 500. If you sell it all together you might get 600-700. That's what it would go for here in Texas. I wish you were closer. We would be talking.

What year did it come out of? I looks like 73-74. If no tabs are broken. He'll get 125 easy. I'd say if it is in as good of shape as it looks 300-400. You should put it in the For Sale section on here. It won't last long at 125.

Yeah, the hydraulic pedal assemblies are getting harder to come by. I got mine from a member called CSFJ. Haven’t seen him on here in quite a while. I payed about $200 a few years back. A fair bit of that was shipping it 2000 miles.

I went up and bought everything he had leftover early last year. He sold his truck and has moved on to other things.

@PrairieDrifter were you the guy looking for a manual tilt column?
