Bigdogtrucker Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 You are correct on that . Sheet metal is unreal though, don't think there was a ding in it!!!

Wobblin-Goblin Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Problem is, owner needs to put down the bottle.........Absolutely. I could see maybe $8-$10k if the interior was as good as the sheet metal and it was 90%+ mechanically sound, but $18-$20k? LOL.

Maddog13407 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 dont care how straight it is, with that boat anchor gutless 401, its still only a 5k truck tops with the tilt bed Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39557-b42-i-looked-at/#findComment-285406 Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 dont care how straight it is, with that boat anchor gutless 401, its still only a 5k truck tops with the tilt bedYou talk about gutless, I drove a B421 dump truck In the early 70's, with a quad, constantly shifting all day!

Bigdogtrucker Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 No doubt the 401 is gutless, great truck to repower though. Finding a B this clean, just laying around doesn't seem to common these days!

PeterMack Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 18,000 to 20,000 K! He's gonna do a top to bottom resto before you take delivery right? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39557-b42-i-looked-at/#findComment-285450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Interesting how some people, not knowing a thing about what they have, will take a classic like this a scrap it while others will price like it's a Faberge egg. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39557-b42-i-looked-at/#findComment-285505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicrop10 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Where about in is this truck?Maybe if you just ask the guy what he wants for it and go from there.

Underdog Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Get the truck for $1800-$2000, then buy my 237/5-speed for $1800-$2000 then you would have a great $5000 truck for $4000!!! My math says that's a bargain!Gregg 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39557-b42-i-looked-at/#findComment-285537 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb73lt Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Maybe if it was restored and re powered. I agree with the others around $2000. I payed $1600 for mine as a rust free B-42 cab and chassis. Then repowered the whole thing. The 237/5 speed mentioned would be perfect way to go and a good price mentioned above. That guy needs to stop smoking whatever he has been. That frame is predrilled for diesel mounts and front crossmember by the way.
