82 GMC 3500 SRW 4x4

Crew Cab

454 GM crate motor w/ 20k miles

electronic 4sp w/ OD trans, 20k miles

Dana 60 Front/rear w/ Detroit locker on rear

brakes totally rebuilt 1000 miles ago, as well as AC, alternator and all hoses. New 35" BFG tires

body is excellent, interior is from a '91 suburban, Power leather driver/pass, upgraded stereo, interior is in very good shape.

Truck appears to have been well-kept (or rebuilt). All switches work except the cruise and the windshield washers.

Seller is asking $9500, truck is in Southern CA, where I live.

I used to own an '83 single cab 3500 4x4 with a 3 speed, and I loved that truck. I need to know if I am off my rocker even considering this truck, or if his price is in the ballpark. It is tough for me to find these trucks that haven't been converted to 350 motors or turned into farm/construction trucks and look like hell. Any advice is welcomed, I'm no newby but am becoming concerned that my emotions are winning the battle against prudent financial moves...

Well if you wanna get technical, look up the blue book value of that truck. Seems a little steep to me. I wouldnt pay more than 7500.

Bought it
 

Well, we met in the middle. I got the truck for $8500. It's an amazing truck, and i hope to get years of (relatively) trouble free enjoyment out of it. One question though, will that 454 really get 25mpg? Thats's what the seller told me....just kidding, with this truck and an Excursion V10, I am now officially on the OPEC Christmas card list.

LMAO!!!! Well good for you. Hope she lasts for a long time, wait I know she will! Its GM! You should post a vid of it friend.
