Quote HistoryQuoted: And another question is how in the fuck is it physically possible to put 70k miles on a two year old truck? Actually, this is not hard to do, had a few vehicles I traded with 100k to 120 K on them at 3 years. Between business and personal miles its not hard to rack up 35 to 40K a year.

Heck C4 vettes that used to sell for $5K are pulling $20K + now.
I'm seeing 70's K5 Chevys that are semi restored pull $50-$75K I know a guy who sold a stock appearing 72 K5 for $300K at the Barret auction. It was faaar from stock though. |

I've been thinking of selling it while they're still worth crazy money, but I might just hang on to it now. 94K miles on it now, but I only put a couple thousand a year on it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It wasn't that long ago that you couldn't give away a long bed. Those trucks are heavy tanks and really NEED a 460 to move them out of their own way. If it still has a cat on it and most of its smog devices, it is probably a dog. With 92K on the clock, that engine really needs to come apart. It likely needs rings, bearings, and valve seals, if not a complete valve job. When rebuilt, it will not make any more power unless you change the heads, cam, carb, and exhaust. Ford made some pretty disappointing engines in that era. Yes, it is overpriced for its features. Absolutely nothing in this post is true or relevant. Impressive. |

There are plenty of people who would gladly pay a premium for a nice older truck that's in great shape, easy to work on, and not full of computers and emissions control devices that can act up and cause problems. Plus, when new trucks are $50K++.....paying $30K for an old truck doesn't seem that crazy.....

My DD is a 94 F150 2wd. I bought it in '01 for $5k. Body is still straight, but the factory clearcoat has finally given up the ghost on the hood and roof. Still stock, except for headers and true dual exhaust.
I was getting gas a few days ago, when a guy in a brand new lifted bro-dozer pulls up, flashes a wad of 100s, and offers me $10k for it. |

Yeah, I still have a timing light around here somewhere. Every spring and fall I would have to go out and adjust the carb and check the timing on my Jeep. I never did the timing on my Chevy, but still had to do the bi-annual carb tune when the weather changed. Not my favorite thing. I also wasn't too fond of stalls during steep ascents or descents with the Jeep because the carb would starve itself. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes. Towing with my V6 Toyota SR5 was easier than with my 2WD F250. You pretty much needed a kidney belt in the Ford, the ride was shit for such a heavy truck. The front ends were horrible on the 2WD trucks, the split I-beams made the trucks into orbital sanders over 55mph. I had one and changed every part on the front and it still shook. A friend bought it and repeated, truck still shook. Two owner later still cussed me over the shaking, but it was a Ford thing. New wheels, tires, steering stabilizer...not one fucking thing makes those trucks run down the road any better. It was a pretty well known thing. I would hope the 4WD had a bit better front end, but the trucks still ride like shit. I bought a 789 Chevy C-30. It was a Cadillac by comparison. Even newer body style Fords still rode like shit with the twin I beam.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I agree the used truck market is whacked. $30 grand for 100k+ mile trucks is crazy. And another question is how in the fuck is it physically possible to put 70k miles on a two year old truck? Do you have people staged around the country just driving it from coast to coast in shifts or something with a tanker truck pacing it on the highway for refills? That’s only a 135 miles a day, 5 times a week, which is nothing if you’re using it for business. 96 miles a day if you’re using it for business and personal. 30 mile commute or so to a job. Drive around to get parts / tools / equipment / supplies / etc - another 30 miles or more. Go see new jobs to quote. Go out for lunch. Get home. Go to the store. Drive to see the kids game. Pretty quick 35,000 miles. About 2.5 hours of driving a day. Add in a decent road trip, or long trip to the airport… yeah. Edit: I’ll have 6000 miles on my new raptor, this week. I got it December 15th. |

I went through a few trucks where I refused to buy them from anywhere north of VA. Had good luck doing that, but I think everyone else got the same idea real fast, prices started to sky rocket on them. I looked all over the country in 2020 for a decent work truck, prices were absurd (and only got worse) so I just ordered a new one instead. I wasn't going to pay 40 grand for a truck with 100k miles on it and an average lifetime speed of 35mph that was way out of warranty when I could just order a new one for 60. The one I ordered actually came in at 51k, but then I couldn't take delivery because of the delay. I drove 3 hours to buy one with a higher trim package right off a lot for 57k. I wish they would have gotten my order done faster though, I spec'd it with the lower gearing and a few other small options I wanted. |

We rebuilt a 1998 F150 4wd 4.6L during covid.
Pulled the engine, trans, transfer cae, and front/rear differentials. Not a small job but we had access to the right tools and equipment. Spent $1200 on getting the engine machined and another $800 on pistons/rings/gaskets/seals and timing gears. $200 spark plug thread fix was not required but gave us piece of mind. Lucky for us, the transfer case and diffs just needed new seals and bearings. Trans got all new clutch plates and a "shift kit". Torque converter was in perfect shape. $700 Took all summer to get it all done. $200 headers and $80 mafs later and we get 22mpg on the highway with no load. We added an e-fan kit for $500 and called it good. Sure, $3k was alot of $$$ to spend on a 20+ yr old pockup, but the cost of one with only 50k less miles was 3x what we spent in parts. 1/2 and 3/4 ton 4wd trucks w/o all the goofy shit is making them highly sought after. Diesel 3/4 ton pickups command insane prices.

Its bananas what they are dragging down for nice ones these days. I picked up 2 K10's last year and after adding shit to them Im around 22-25k into each of them. Both have new crate engines, 4" lifts, and tires/wheels. The blue one has a whole bunch of shit done (engine, trans, transfer, wiring harness, vintage air, and is basically new front to back under it) but still need to get all the body panels lined back up from pulling it apart.
  Currently putting together another project. I picked up this old suburban to pull the drivetrain out of for another short K10 project but after I picked up the donor cab truck and got a good look at her I may turn the C10 into a K10 long bed since I have all the parts on hand to do it. I currently have the motor apart from the suburban putting new rings and bearings in it. It had 160+ on compression on each cylinder so I was a bit hesitant to pull it apart and go after it but worst case I have a Blueprint/Holley crate engine in the corner.    I was building AK's for something to fuck around with but lately have kind of lost interest in building guns. |

I've got a 97' F250 with the 460 gas engine, winch, topper, and toolbox. Just went over 100k on the odometer. No rust whatsoever. Bad thing is it gets 10 mpg going up the mountain or down. A little less when pulling the 6,000 lb camper. Pulling the 2,000 lb boat, doesn't even know it's back there. If I could get 10k for it, might think about selling.

The diesels bring a little more but the 96/97 Ford 250/350 trucks are bringing good scratch in great condition. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If it truly is trouble free, rust free and has 55k miles, then I'd put the value ~$15k. Polish it up as much as possible, inside and out, and put it on bring a trailer, and it could push $18k to $20k. The trick would be to advertise it up north. Trucks in that shape are unobtainium in the rust belt. ETA: @O_Guiness Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I've been trying to figure out what to ask for my dad's old 93 Chevy. Has a 350 5 speed manual. Body is clean and the interior is filthy with dog hair but not torn up. Needs some exhaust work. Has about 55k miles. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/475357/20230221_144746_jpg-2719724.JPG If it truly is trouble free, rust free and has 55k miles, then I'd put the value ~$15k.

That's a very unpopular configuration. I see this less as a hobby/project/show truck and more as just a solid old truck for weekend or part time use. I'd be really surprised if it could actually sell for that kind of money. |
