I just put a gallery on here of the truck it's black has some junk on the back, still haven't figured out how to put it on the post yet

that number "15".. don't lose it from the emblem.

 

Anything different at all on the tougher side is a bonus.

I'd call it a 5k sale , as long as the original engine is long gone.. especially the EGR cam engine.

 

do you know what the diff type is in the back? I don't think they put g80 in any shortbeds.. but worth a check.

 

I like that style. looks like my first chevy .. 1978.

 

possibly overstepping opinions:

 

convert the last small block (first vortec), a 305, summit intake

slap HEI back in. keep factory manifolds, run duals with an H.

 

the 4 speed auto.. maybe a non computer 700r4

electric fuel, with return.

Holley 600.

 

the last 305 has 60 more hp than a 1970s 350...you won't need ladder bars and all the extras, leave chassis alone.

 

energy suspension everywhere.. cab mounts, sway.

away it goes.

Up in the rust belt you could probably get 5-7k as those trucks are hard to find solid up here (NY for example).

 

If you sold it in the south I'd say 3-5k as is, so a rough middle road price? 4-5k.

 

All done up, depending on the level of restoration you could pull anywhere from 10-20k. Most of those older trucks are pretty strong numbers fixed up nowadays.
