bubbamobilin Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Going to look at this truck next week and I want to get an idea of what it's worth before the haggling starts.It's a '74 with an 865, not sure of the tranny or rears, but it does have a camelback suspension.

You should immediately pull it out and send it to me for proper disposal; LOL.The photos aren't very good to make a determination but in nice average shape I'd thing between four and five thousand dollars would be fair. Most likely is either a five, or six speed trans on 4.17 ratio 38.000# rears. Most of those had 10,500 Rockwell steer axles.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Freightrain Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Looks kinda familiar? Did that one have a drop deck on it for sale at one time? Or am I thinking of another faded red truck?

If I get it bought I'm wanting to repower with and E9(wishful thinking). The guys asking $7500 but I'm thinking more along your line about price.Freightrain, I don't know anything about this truck, I've never seen it but from what I've been told it's been hauling logs for the past several years. A friend saw it and snapped the pics with a cell phone and sent them to me(he ain't no photographer).

jaysm35a2 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Bobs got a point, dear god, id hate to have to buy a truck then 10 tires on top of that. I had to buy 4 for my truck when I got it and I made him lower the price so I could.

Olivetroad Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Tires have gotten so high that I have been buying whole trucks just to remove the good tires from and drain the tanks for my farm fuel. It also is amazing what people will leave in toolboxes and the cab. I like goodies, especially free ones.
