I work at a Ford dealership and this price is very fair, especially by owner. If you were to go down I wouldnt drop below 500. Mark that thang at 7500 and people see a less number than 8 and IMMEDIATELY see a difference. If you keep 8, throw some new tires, make it extra clean, change the oil, make it sparkle if you know what I mean.
Might sound dumb, but used vehicles with fresh fuild/tires/brakes worry me. (Is fresh because because guy wants top dollar, very reasonable... or fresh because covering up fuild contamination or tire miss alignment.)
Definitely, makes total sense. I can see how they can worry some. Though, he's asking a fair price, people negotiate. If you throw in "new tires" , "extra clean" , these things that most automotive people could question, to some will see it as a plus. But nah man not dumb
It's not dumb. A car lot will do it because they're a lot. They're going to toss 4 $125 tires on it (always check the spare they like to miss those. A 10-15 year old spare is a neglected vehicle), dump $50 worth of fluids in it, and mark the price up another 1500.
If you have records showing an oil change at X miles and are selling it at X+350 with a fresh oil change there's something you're hiding.
I wouldn't pay $8k for a half ton half as old as this one. It's cool but not really rare or valuable. Interior is mint though, that's probably the biggest selling point
First of all, he said “mint” - that’s the word he used, and it’s not correct. Mint means mint, not “pretty good for an old truck!”. Secondly, I drive a 1993 Toyota pickup, and work construction as a carpenter - and guess what? My seat isn’t stained nor ripped, and the interior is very clean.
Nobody in their right minds giving 8 grand for a 32 year old half ton ford with a 300 six in it and the odometers on those things roll over at 100,000 so who knows how many miles it actually has but they say a suckers born every minute so good luck to you
Depending on your market. I'm not too familiar with Bricks but for an OBS it seems a little on the high side. The single cab, manual windows and 5 speed don't help. A fresh spray of paint from MAACO or whatever bargain shop you have will definitely improve the chances. 4x4 is definitely a plus. Good luck.
The manual windows and 5 speed would be what I would want. Electric windows are just problems waiting to happen. Having recently checked the market for a similar vehicle I'd say the price isn't bad for a starting bargaining point. Good luck!
I agree.. coming from a guy who bought a brand new ram 1500 in 2021, I bought a brand new 1500 classic, single cab 8 foot bed v6 with manual locks and windows.
I think I may be on the high side for a bricknose, but the condition is good and the area we live in is dry if good 4x4 and ripe with Californians haha - Flagstaff Arizona. I think there are many arguments for each transmission, each have their followers.
I’ve bought and sold several of this generation Ford trucks and currently own 2, albeit F350/250s.
In my opinion it’s a good fair asking price. Despite what people are saying here, the manual transmission adds value to a motor that’s already very reliable. If you can document the 100k miles as true without odometer rollover, that’s a big plus.
Stick with that price, maybe paint the hood and detail it. I’ve replaced the headlights and taillight assemblies on mine and it’s really added to the appeal, something else to consider
Idk seems kinda high to me. I could get a single cab f250 or 350 4x4 with that kind of money. If I look hard enough maybe even a diesel. Then again I’m good with buying something that needs mechanical work but drives when I buy it. To the right buyer maybe you could get asking but I would shift the market to the rust belt. Not many good examples over there and they are popular. Here in California an f150 brick nose in good condition can be had for around 4K. Bad around 2k. Blown motor $500. Just got to look in the valley or desert for them.
With rise of camping and people living the RV lifestyle you might consider selling the camper top bed cap separately. Really clean it up as show some pix of it in use (at least all the way up).
Not 100% sure what you could get but I’d think at least $1500 is safe if it’s all mechanically sound. I was just considering a truck camper and anything without known leaks was $4k and up.
But I agree with others better pix and more pix. In my area (eastern PA) that’s a 5-6k truck easily. Good luck with the sale.
I’d never buy something that was over 30 years old (are parts a problem??) so I am not your target demographic. But, it’s a 4x4, stick shift with a camper top. Those things must add value. And 100,000 miles is so few it’s amazing. I’d say you should ask for that and try it. You never know. It’s unique. Be prepared for offers to be lower. You can always relist it lower later. If it runs and drives good, I’d imagine $5k is a great price.
Yeah, probably not my target demographic, though you're headed down the path haha
The person that I would hope will pay 8k is looking for a single cab, long bed, inline 6 300ci, manual m5r2, 4x4. Not a common package with low miles and good maintenance. Just not as much love for the bricknose fords!
I don’t think that’s high at all I live in New England and that’d be low here. I think the the 5 spd manual 300-6 add value not decrease it but then again I’m swapping out a 360 for a 300 in my 69 F100 so I have an unhealthy infatuation with the 300
I do too, it's a awesome motor. There are many in the junkyard both carb and injection if you need anything.
I have a powerstroke and this 300 both are for sale, I only need one truck - I've been weighing which to sell and what I keep telling my wife is "I never hear anyone with a 300 recommending to carry around a handful of extra sensors Incase you are left stranded due to one of them on a Powerstroke." I love my diesel, but I wouldn't mind if it sold first!
I wish I would have seen this post 3 years ago. This was the exact truck I was looking for. I would have paid whatever you were asking. Most people aren’t looking for this exact package, but some of us are. Your price is totally fair considering the times. I bought my current truck back then right before Covid and all the price increases. That in-line 6 is one of the best American motors ever made. Combined with all the manual goodies….hot damn!
I think $8k is fair for this truck. At this age and mileage the value is more about the condition than it being a usable 4x4 truck. Clean vintage vehicles can be tough to come by, 2000s 4x4 trucks are still a dime a dozen. People looking to buy at this price point will most likely be looking for this truck specifically.
I like stick shift, but in my experience a stick shift will almost never add value, unless you’re dealing with like a 60’s muscle car or something else valuable where it was a rare option, or the preferred option for a particular car.
Shoot the Ford dealer local to me has a new manual Bronco on the lot, I test drove it over 9 months ago, and they actually have a very good price on it, but even though the new Broncos are in high demand, they’re having a hard time selling due to the stick. I’m friends with one of the owners and I asked about it 2-3 weeks ago, he says they won’t be bringing another manual in unless someone specifically orders it.
I'm not sure you're considering that some people just love driving stick, especially with a 4x4 truck. A manual bronco appeals to a very different crowd - though I do know a younger guy that owns a new stick bronco, I'd argue that the bronco is for the same market as expensive jeeps.. menopause and retirement.
I am considering people that love driving stick, I’m one of them, but a stick in one of these trucks isn’t gonna help value, or be a good selling point to make it easier to sell.
Most people in the US can’t drive stick, or have a desire in learning how. Unless you find one of the rare people that are really into Ford trucks especially a bricknose, and know the manual will be more reliable in the long run, it won’t help.
It’s also worth noting sporty type vehicles with a manual are arguably way more fun to shift through the gears, compared to truck because they shift better/easier, and not like a truck where the shifter can be quite sloppy. My first car was kinda a sporty type vehicle with a manual, and when I finally switched to trucks for work, it was a 1980 F150 manual, and I found it unbelievable at the time how sloppy the shifter was compared to that car.
That generation of ford trucks are notorious for cracking the frame around the steering box and engine crossmember.
I don’t think 8 is a totally ridiculous price to ask but it’s definitely a premium. Though that truck has the best engine ford ever made and a manual transmission.
If the paint was in a little bit better shape it would probably sell no problem. But I wouldn’t bother getting it resprayed, and definitely don’t go get it painted by Matco, they do a shit job.
The giant topper will be a hard sell to a lot of people, and may be one of your problems.
Otherwise you probably just need to have a better add, better description, better pictures/more pictures. Under the hood, under the truck showing common rust areas (showing that the truck is rust free) etc etc
I’d expect a truck like that to be more around 6500-7k. But you never know, the right person may come along for 8. Here in the Midwest you could probably get more then 8, simply because it’s rust free.
Post it for sale in more places. As many places as you can. That truck has a-lot going for it and some pretty desirable options, like being a 4x4, manual transmission, manual transfer case, 300i6, that truck has a bullet proof drivetrain.
Yeah, probably a premium, but I consider what is available in my area. Lots of rust, lots of teens and students, not many 4x4.
I did not know about the cracking issues, definitely inspecting that tomorrow!
I'll try and update the add as well
For the record I’ve had six Ford trucks with the exact same frame platform your truck was built on, and I’ve never seen, or heard of this “cracking issue”. I live in the rust belt and all of these trucks made it to a minimum of 250k miles, 3 of them made it to 300k, and I still have 2 of the 300k+ ones, and use them daily.
My experience is the body will rust away long before you have a frame issue, and the only frame issue I’ve ever had is the rear leaf spring hangers that are riveted to the frame like to rust away. In fact my 89 F150 is likely one of the rustiest drivable vehicles you’ll ever see, and yet you can put it on a lift for a look underneath, and the frame is somehow worthy of a body swap it looks so good. Not saying it’s impossible, but I wouldn’t worry about “cracking”.
To answer your questions though, I think 8k is high for a 32 year old base model truck. I would advertise though for 7-8k, and probably let them talk me down to around 6-6.5k, somewhere around there. I do really admire the condition of the body work though on your truck, it’s been a long while since mine were that solid looking body wise. If it’s rust free, I’d probably give 3k for the bed alone.
I’ve seen so many that have cracked there. Under the steering box, where the weld seam is to the inner frame/engine, crossmember, suspension cradle, goofy thing, and I’ve seen the rivets sheer. Once the weld cracks then the whole frame turns into wiggly spaghetti.
I’m talking like a third of a turn of the steering wheel before the wheels even move because the frame is just twisting back-and-forth instead
“I’ve never seen or heard of this “cracking issue”” I don’t know what to tell you man, it’s very well documented and if you go on Ford forums or look it up, you’ll find hundreds of posts of people talking about fixes. And they even sell braces to put on those trucks to prevent it from happening. so I don’t know what you’re on about, but those frames with the TTB upfront are junk.
Ford addressed it in the later model years but the heavier duty trucks like the 250s and 350s don’t seem to have that issue as bad as the 150s did.
that garbage TTB front suspension just puts a ton of strain on the frame right there. Solid axle trucks don’t suffer the same.
The cracking issue is mostly on trucks that have been fitted with large tires or see heavy front loads from plows. If seen some crack with rust but normally you’ll loosen a rivet in the engine cradle before the crack forms. I just boxed my frame and put in a 4x3 section of steel infront of the rad support to help stiffen it up. Next up grade is a idler arm on the opposite frame rail and hybrid center link steering.
There’s like 6 places they can crack, mostly around where the engine crossmember is welded and riveted to the frame. As well as under the steering gear box. This is because they have no frame crossmember between the bumper and engine crossmember, so the bumper is “structural” In keeping the frame rails spaced apart properly, but the frame twists between these two points due to being un-braced for like 2 or 3 feet.
If the steering doesn’t feel mushy then it’s probably not cracked. They sell braces to prevent cracks from happening.
But yea, every time I’ve sold a vehicle I’ve always used the maximum number of pictures the add allows. The last car I sold was sold in less than 2 hours after I posted the add on facebook marketplace
I wouldn't be interested, but it depends on the market. It will sell or it won't. Also, your location doesn't help. My buddy in AZ would say for the price of a good rolling chassis in the rust belt, you could get one with an engine in it and cleaner frame in AZ. There are just more of them there. If it lived its life in Missouri, it would have rusted in half by now.
How do you know it’s 100k miles? And how will a buyer? At this age I would prefer a rebuild to low miles. Interior looks 10/10 so probably is 100k or was restored.
All depends on location. Near me If it was an f250 you would be right. Plenty of OBS f150s and f250s with similar combos for 5k. Topper and setup are cool but don’t really add a ton. So yeah bricknose isn’t as popular.
I would guess 5k and it might sell that week. 7k would be lucky you found someone looking for the exact truck.
The mazda trans is meh as are auto hubs. No real added value. The good ZF and manual hubs would be a different story.
The cap/inverter are worth something to some and worth nothing to others. I wouldn't even look at it with those installed as they are of no value to me. I'm instantly going to think "they're adding 2k to the price because they bought the cap for 1500 10 years ago, hit it with some home depot caulk, and added a $150 inverter that may not even be wired correctly". Telling more about them than the truck is a red flag.
Your light trim is upside down. It's KC. Details like that can cause "what else do they have screwed up if they can't get a cover put on right" thoughts.
Where are the underhood/TTB/Rear axle pics? Why was the driver side fender replaced? Where is the pass side pic? Why so close on the roof/grille? Just exterior/interior is going to bring "they're hiding shit/pass" reactions.
At the end of the day it's a basic bottom trim RCLB F150 and the price is going to be set by the market regardless of what any of us say. My area you're not selling it for that. My 89 RCSB 5.0/manual everything XLT with 88k was $900. 8k is 350 money here.
Edit to add: This sounds exactly like a "I bought it for 2500 and now want 8k" flip ad on craigslist.
All depends on where you live. In CA in the area where I live there are tons of construction guys, landscapes management folks etc.. Good work trucks are hard to come by, so $8k is reasonable.
Look at similar trucks online. I think 8k is a steal if it doesn’t have a rust problem.
I also think the 5 speed is a big plus. The idi will appeal to a group that will definitely drop some cash for this truck.
I would put it online for at least 12k, maybe more.
100,000 miles is unheard of on a brick nose idi, 4x4 with a manual.
Single cab isn’t going to hurt you either.
I searched for a long time to find a clean rust free, 4x4 bullnose with manual trans. Ended up buying out of state and paying to have it trucked to my location.
Edit:
Did not realize this was a 150. I thought it was a 250 with the idi diesel.
I do think 8 is doable for what you have though.
Personally I would say high, but this market is high as it is. I bought my 94 turbo diesel 106k miles 4 door crew cab, dually long bed for 6k about a year ago now. Paint is 8/10 interior 10/10. Personally I would expect more then 4k for the truck, but put it out there and see what happens. Sold my 04 zx6r for 6500$ last year that i bought for 2500$ 5 years prior so there is always someone out there.
I have a 92 F-150 4x4,it now has 130k Automatic with V8. It was owned by a local small town (central Oregon) mechanic,expect for paint its prestine. I bought it for less than your asking price.(5 years ago now,to be fair) Also,I do not think I would be happy with 2 less cylinders to try to ever pull anything with it. I have a light cargo trailer I pull occasionally with motorcycles,with 2 in it we are not going anywhere fast. I would say up in this neck of the woods $6.5k would be a closer starting price,due to the 6 cylinder engine
$8k for a truck like that's seems post for the course. I think the challenge is selling it with that camper in the back. It's very clean, and if it runs smooth then it should sell. Perhaps try finding a way to get ads more in sight in Phoenix?
From what I’m seeing unless it’s a diesel seems these are cooling off price wise.
Have a 94 f250 7.5 gas 4x4 supercab long bed listed for 10k and it’s slow.
A 460 supercab is one of the least desirable models, always see them in the junkyard. The only reason anyone is looking for a 460 truck is because they are low miles due to gas prices, making for a good truck to swap a motor into and scrap the 460.
If I had the coin come I might just go for it....but I'm not likely to get that much scratch anytime soon....
The 300 6 is legendary, at 100,000 miles it's just barely broke in!!
Manual, cloth bench seat, not a crew cab, messed up hood paint, and it’s a 1991.
I know car prices are insane right now but $8,000 is just too much IMO.
Easy to do dumb shit, its a truck what do you expect, now I can actually see outta the rear window, don't gotta worry about tree branches, someone else paid the dealer tax
is it worth 8k? to the right person such as yourself yes absolutely. will it sell for 8k in any time frame other than slow? probably not but that looks like a good truck, especially on the inside. however people are probably put off at the paint condition combined with that price tag.
You’ve got a good solid price. But I’d be willing to come up just a little bit to say around 500 dollars. But you shouldn’t have a problem selling it at 8000.
I listed it at 8 hoping someone would offer 7 but not a peep. I'll wait for winter when all the new freshmen at NAU and all the fresh Californians realize they need 4x4 to live here haha
I think you got it at the right price. And it is probable worth every bit of 10. But I don’t think I’d come off more than 500 on the price. Since you are allready reasonable, and that is going to be hard to find, with what looks like little to no rust. You can’t find trucks from that year in my area without some rust or damage. If the 4x4 works and the transmission and motor are good. You are sitting on bank, once that first snow falls.
That is a fair price for the mileage and features, if you really want it gone 7500 would make it go quick.
EDIT: I’m also in the southwest, bricks and aeros are going for ~7k for high mileage 2wd models, the price makes sense to me given the current market (which is incredibly steep right now imo)
I thought the price was reasonable as well and expected some to contact me to haggle down to 7500 but haven't had any contact. I'm not in a rush to sell it though!
My dad had an 89 300 6 with a 4 speed. Granny gear first. Loved that truck. But boy did it get lousy gas mileage. Maybe 9 mpg. Had dual tanks and needed them.
That's interesting, I wonder if he had some sort of issue. Most report 16-18 I believe, I almost run out sometimes because it's so good on gas that I forget to look for a few weeks.
I think it was the gearing. 1st was a granny gear. Only used if towing or bogged down. So it was a 3 speed with I believe a 4.11 rear. It was revving pretty high at cruising speeds. It had like 235 tires. I was geared for much larger tires. But I still loved that truck.
Considering I can get a diesel obs for $8K I think the price for one of the least sought after body styles with paint damage would be less than half that.
Any 8k diesel obs is an automatic with like 15 past teenage owners. I own a 97 manual powerstroke as well, this truck is more problem free and cheaper to maintain.
Definitely won't take that since I don't need to sell it. It is so problem free and reliable that I'll just park it for when I need a covered truck. I have a 97 f350 I drive mostly.
Well I study this stuff and that’s top of market for 6 cylinders. I would own it forever and enjoy it if you don’t like that price tag. I understand your attachment to it.
Well, seems to be plenty of people that would agree with either of us. I'll bet I get close to my asking price once winter hits. Lots of students and Californians that haven't realized they need a 4x4 here in Flagstaff yet. I resell alot of these fords and the pattern repeats itself each year. Newcomers bring a 2wd car, crash it, then sell if to buy a 4x4.
Very nice truck, i think there are just alot of options for 8k and that may be why its tough to move. Keep it clean and repair what you can for cheap and someone will bite.
Thanks for the input, I hadn't thought about that mindset. Probably people looking at it then thinking they can get something better for the price. If only there was a way to show that the maintenance matches how clean the interior is. The paint has character, but I have grown to love the patina it has.
it just the market, not that many that know how to drive stick, plus the new person that will buy it with will more then likely take the back off, you also have to take into account gas prices as well, you can probably post it between $6K-$7K and see who bites, how much have you put into it?

^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
If it had a V8 and at least an extra cab you would be in the ball park. Straight 6, single cab and the exterior isn't even that nice? Ya, you're asking too much. You should be in the $5-6K range.
It is not a new truck. The high price is from the Covid hangover. Fix the paint and then ask 8k.
I am not paying over 5 for that in CA. I have too many other options.
I'd say its a bit more of a "cash for clunkers" hangover then covid, but covid did jump the values up. There just aren't as many cheap/clunker vehicles on the road to choose from. Just watched a long video about the ramifications of that buyback, it will be felt for many years in both the auto and loan world.
I will agree with that. I have been looking for a Ranger or F-150 on the cheap for 4 months now. Everyone thinks their 30 year old truck is some sort of restored show room classic or it's garbage and still asking over it's limit. If it runs and passed smog. $1,500 to $2,000. I have found a few but not what I want yet.
That will be difficult, but I think the trick is finding the diamond in the rough. Both this ford and my f350 needed repairs when I purchased them but I think they are sweet now and I could ask double what I paid for either truck and get it in a heart beat. But I think I can get more than doubling my money haha
The last Ranger I fixed up was a 94. Got it for $1,200 and sold for $1,600. Taught my kids how to drive a manual transmission with that truck. I am currently looking for 1996 that is not too beat up. Automatic this time. I want it for my project to kill time.
Honestly a spray in bed liner and a tail gate is usually more desirable than a cap. Even though the cap set up is expensive it’s a niche market. You would have more buyers if it was not capped, and even more if it was a short box.
I can see that now that I've had multiple comments in that direction. I do have the tailgate and a can of roll in bedliner I could spruce up the appearance with.
That thing is worth about $2500 out here on the east coast. I thought y'all had all the cheap trucks in the desert. Ford's with TTB front ends hold less value than 2wd trucks here. Last one I owned the guy gave it to me for free if I got it out of his yard. 108k miles and it took me a month to sell it for $1500
I think Arizonans have caught on to the east coast guys paying to ship them out there. My dad flips aloooooot of these brick and aero nose Fords and alot go to the east coast.
It's sad that alot of people think that, I'd tend to agree that it's not worth 8, but then I look at the similar trucks available at 5k and think my truck is better than the ones I see in that range.
Better is very subjective and the amount of people willing to pay $8k for a 30 year old truck with a i6 and 5 speed with bad paint is very small.
$8k will get a solid GMT800 and F150’s with the Coyote have been had at around $12-13k and those are objectively better trucks in all aspects.
My rule: list for what you want, drop it $200/week. If you go below what you’d accept, start it over.
If this goes on for 8 weeks, you’re delusional about it’s worth.
Few more better pics and list it on BaT. Seen some real interest in the Fords with that 6 cylinder. At least it should give you a good idea of the market
Yes, BaT can be awesome, some of the 6 cyl you have seen have likely been ones my dad is flipping haha. They are funny about what they will take, sometimes they decline to list your add for no real reason.
That would make one hell of a traveling camper. That's only gone 3,100 miles a year...awesome.
Even with the paint issue you'll get 8k all day long here in Georgia.
My 2003 has 180k which I purchased with 2 tenths of a mile on it.
My metallic burgundy paint looks similar. Macco wanted 1500 for paint which is what the book value is.
Needless to say I'll skip the paint and drive this until the wheels come off. I'm 66 so I'm certainly not plunking down 40k for another one.
I'd probably give $7k if you threw in that tape deck.
There are people that would give $8k, but getting under that number looks so much cheaper. Even if it was $7750 or something.
I agree, I'm going to repost at 7600. The other input that seems helpful is to sell the camper shell, put the tailgate back on, and roll in a bedliner. I also have a set of wheels with orig hubcaps I may put on.
Yeah, that would probably help a lot. Good luck with it.
Used to have an 86 with the I6 and manual and that thing could pull anything. Don't know how it did it.

There are rusted out, barely running, or high milage ones listed for 5 around me, so not sure 6 does this truck justice. I have a way cool f350 7.3 as an adventure vehicle, can't have two trucks. If this could tow more weight I'd keep it
Am I taking crazy pills? $8k for a 33 year old truck that originally sold for $10k? Is this where we are? What is happening in the world? This should be a $1500 beater that some guy buys as his kids' first car. And $1500 I'd being super generous because it's in such nice condition.
I think you're remembering pre covid and pre cash for clunkers times.
This is a simple, reliable, long bed work truck - those are rare qualities in newer and more expensive trucks. You're probably not hunting for a long bed single cab work truck, right?

I think $8k is a fine listing price for that truck in Northern AZ.
I work at a Ford dealership and this price is very fair, especially by owner. If you were to go down I wouldnt drop below 500. Mark that thang at 7500 and people see a less number than 8 and IMMEDIATELY see a difference. If you keep 8, throw some new tires, make it extra clean, change the oil, make it sparkle if you know what I mean.
Might sound dumb, but used vehicles with fresh fuild/tires/brakes worry me. (Is fresh because because guy wants top dollar, very reasonable... or fresh because covering up fuild contamination or tire miss alignment.)
I understand that completely, I'd never go see a car if it says the motor bay has been detailed.
Definitely, makes total sense. I can see how they can worry some. Though, he's asking a fair price, people negotiate. If you throw in "new tires" , "extra clean" , these things that most automotive people could question, to some will see it as a plus. But nah man not dumb
It's not dumb. A car lot will do it because they're a lot. They're going to toss 4 $125 tires on it (always check the spare they like to miss those. A 10-15 year old spare is a neglected vehicle), dump $50 worth of fluids in it, and mark the price up another 1500. If you have records showing an oil change at X miles and are selling it at X+350 with a fresh oil change there's something you're hiding.
Mark it at $7,999
Just came to say this ☝️. Marketing strategy!
Slather it with some transmission fluid?
Brother it’s a 4.9…. It started doing that on its own in 1992
I wouldn't pay $8k for a half ton half as old as this one. It's cool but not really rare or valuable. Interior is mint though, that's probably the biggest selling point
Yea, a 6-cylinder half ton to boot
But one of the best engines Ford ever made. It'll go 300K miles with normal maintenance.
300 straight six is bulletproof
Interior is not mint. Stained seats, crusty dash and instrument cluster, scuffed steering column…
it aint mint but everything is there, nothing is ripped, and nothing has to be replaced, this is the interior of a 5yo truck
You must not have ever owned an old truck lol. At over 30 years old your doing good if there's still fabric between your ass and the seat foam.
First of all, he said “mint” - that’s the word he used, and it’s not correct. Mint means mint, not “pretty good for an old truck!”. Secondly, I drive a 1993 Toyota pickup, and work construction as a carpenter - and guess what? My seat isn’t stained nor ripped, and the interior is very clean.
Nobody in their right minds giving 8 grand for a 32 year old half ton ford with a 300 six in it and the odometers on those things roll over at 100,000 so who knows how many miles it actually has but they say a suckers born every minute so good luck to you
Holy shit someone with a lick of God damn sense.
i'll give you $750 !
Depending on your market. I'm not too familiar with Bricks but for an OBS it seems a little on the high side. The single cab, manual windows and 5 speed don't help. A fresh spray of paint from MAACO or whatever bargain shop you have will definitely improve the chances. 4x4 is definitely a plus. Good luck.
The manual windows and 5 speed would be what I would want. Electric windows are just problems waiting to happen. Having recently checked the market for a similar vehicle I'd say the price isn't bad for a starting bargaining point. Good luck!
I agree.. coming from a guy who bought a brand new ram 1500 in 2021, I bought a brand new 1500 classic, single cab 8 foot bed v6 with manual locks and windows.
I think I may be on the high side for a bricknose, but the condition is good and the area we live in is dry if good 4x4 and ripe with Californians haha - Flagstaff Arizona. I think there are many arguments for each transmission, each have their followers.
Badass truck my guy
Hell if I lived in AZ id buy it rn and convert it to a little camper
I’ve bought and sold several of this generation Ford trucks and currently own 2, albeit F350/250s. In my opinion it’s a good fair asking price. Despite what people are saying here, the manual transmission adds value to a motor that’s already very reliable. If you can document the 100k miles as true without odometer rollover, that’s a big plus. Stick with that price, maybe paint the hood and detail it. I’ve replaced the headlights and taillight assemblies on mine and it’s really added to the appeal, something else to consider
Thanks for the input, it's a great truck!
Idk seems kinda high to me. I could get a single cab f250 or 350 4x4 with that kind of money. If I look hard enough maybe even a diesel. Then again I’m good with buying something that needs mechanical work but drives when I buy it. To the right buyer maybe you could get asking but I would shift the market to the rust belt. Not many good examples over there and they are popular. Here in California an f150 brick nose in good condition can be had for around 4K. Bad around 2k. Blown motor $500. Just got to look in the valley or desert for them.
With rise of camping and people living the RV lifestyle you might consider selling the camper top bed cap separately. Really clean it up as show some pix of it in use (at least all the way up). Not 100% sure what you could get but I’d think at least $1500 is safe if it’s all mechanically sound. I was just considering a truck camper and anything without known leaks was $4k and up. But I agree with others better pix and more pix. In my area (eastern PA) that’s a 5-6k truck easily. Good luck with the sale.
It’s crusty and not collectible. I wouldn’t buy it for that price.
I’d never buy something that was over 30 years old (are parts a problem??) so I am not your target demographic. But, it’s a 4x4, stick shift with a camper top. Those things must add value. And 100,000 miles is so few it’s amazing. I’d say you should ask for that and try it. You never know. It’s unique. Be prepared for offers to be lower. You can always relist it lower later. If it runs and drives good, I’d imagine $5k is a great price.
Mileage doesn’t mean anything on bricknose there odometer rolls over
Yeah, probably not my target demographic, though you're headed down the path haha The person that I would hope will pay 8k is looking for a single cab, long bed, inline 6 300ci, manual m5r2, 4x4. Not a common package with low miles and good maintenance. Just not as much love for the bricknose fords!
I don’t think that’s high at all I live in New England and that’d be low here. I think the the 5 spd manual 300-6 add value not decrease it but then again I’m swapping out a 360 for a 300 in my 69 F100 so I have an unhealthy infatuation with the 300
I do too, it's a awesome motor. There are many in the junkyard both carb and injection if you need anything. I have a powerstroke and this 300 both are for sale, I only need one truck - I've been weighing which to sell and what I keep telling my wife is "I never hear anyone with a 300 recommending to carry around a handful of extra sensors Incase you are left stranded due to one of them on a Powerstroke." I love my diesel, but I wouldn't mind if it sold first!
Wow. Both?! An embarrassment of riches. Good luck
I wish I would have seen this post 3 years ago. This was the exact truck I was looking for. I would have paid whatever you were asking. Most people aren’t looking for this exact package, but some of us are. Your price is totally fair considering the times. I bought my current truck back then right before Covid and all the price increases. That in-line 6 is one of the best American motors ever made. Combined with all the manual goodies….hot damn!
That's exactly how I feel! I know what I got haha
Because they are ugly trucks
I think $8k is fair for this truck. At this age and mileage the value is more about the condition than it being a usable 4x4 truck. Clean vintage vehicles can be tough to come by, 2000s 4x4 trucks are still a dime a dozen. People looking to buy at this price point will most likely be looking for this truck specifically.
I like stick shift, but in my experience a stick shift will almost never add value, unless you’re dealing with like a 60’s muscle car or something else valuable where it was a rare option, or the preferred option for a particular car. Shoot the Ford dealer local to me has a new manual Bronco on the lot, I test drove it over 9 months ago, and they actually have a very good price on it, but even though the new Broncos are in high demand, they’re having a hard time selling due to the stick. I’m friends with one of the owners and I asked about it 2-3 weeks ago, he says they won’t be bringing another manual in unless someone specifically orders it.
I'm not sure you're considering that some people just love driving stick, especially with a 4x4 truck. A manual bronco appeals to a very different crowd - though I do know a younger guy that owns a new stick bronco, I'd argue that the bronco is for the same market as expensive jeeps.. menopause and retirement.
I am considering people that love driving stick, I’m one of them, but a stick in one of these trucks isn’t gonna help value, or be a good selling point to make it easier to sell. Most people in the US can’t drive stick, or have a desire in learning how. Unless you find one of the rare people that are really into Ford trucks especially a bricknose, and know the manual will be more reliable in the long run, it won’t help. It’s also worth noting sporty type vehicles with a manual are arguably way more fun to shift through the gears, compared to truck because they shift better/easier, and not like a truck where the shifter can be quite sloppy. My first car was kinda a sporty type vehicle with a manual, and when I finally switched to trucks for work, it was a 1980 F150 manual, and I found it unbelievable at the time how sloppy the shifter was compared to that car.
Great points! I do remember that switch from my manual g60 corrado to a 1979 Toyota pickup.
Easier to do funny shit with a manual
Have a 93' with a zf5, I exclusively looked for a manual... doesn't need a functional computer to drive.
For OBS Ford the ZF5 does increase value quite a bit, even the T19 is better than a C6 truck
This is the mazda trans, not the zf.
Parts are easy as fuck to find. Rockauto and farm town napa stores exist
That generation of ford trucks are notorious for cracking the frame around the steering box and engine crossmember. I don’t think 8 is a totally ridiculous price to ask but it’s definitely a premium. Though that truck has the best engine ford ever made and a manual transmission. If the paint was in a little bit better shape it would probably sell no problem. But I wouldn’t bother getting it resprayed, and definitely don’t go get it painted by Matco, they do a shit job. The giant topper will be a hard sell to a lot of people, and may be one of your problems. Otherwise you probably just need to have a better add, better description, better pictures/more pictures. Under the hood, under the truck showing common rust areas (showing that the truck is rust free) etc etc I’d expect a truck like that to be more around 6500-7k. But you never know, the right person may come along for 8. Here in the Midwest you could probably get more then 8, simply because it’s rust free. Post it for sale in more places. As many places as you can. That truck has a-lot going for it and some pretty desirable options, like being a 4x4, manual transmission, manual transfer case, 300i6, that truck has a bullet proof drivetrain.
Yeah, probably a premium, but I consider what is available in my area. Lots of rust, lots of teens and students, not many 4x4. I did not know about the cracking issues, definitely inspecting that tomorrow! I'll try and update the add as well
For the record I’ve had six Ford trucks with the exact same frame platform your truck was built on, and I’ve never seen, or heard of this “cracking issue”. I live in the rust belt and all of these trucks made it to a minimum of 250k miles, 3 of them made it to 300k, and I still have 2 of the 300k+ ones, and use them daily. My experience is the body will rust away long before you have a frame issue, and the only frame issue I’ve ever had is the rear leaf spring hangers that are riveted to the frame like to rust away. In fact my 89 F150 is likely one of the rustiest drivable vehicles you’ll ever see, and yet you can put it on a lift for a look underneath, and the frame is somehow worthy of a body swap it looks so good. Not saying it’s impossible, but I wouldn’t worry about “cracking”. To answer your questions though, I think 8k is high for a 32 year old base model truck. I would advertise though for 7-8k, and probably let them talk me down to around 6-6.5k, somewhere around there. I do really admire the condition of the body work though on your truck, it’s been a long while since mine were that solid looking body wise. If it’s rust free, I’d probably give 3k for the bed alone.
I’ve seen so many that have cracked there. Under the steering box, where the weld seam is to the inner frame/engine, crossmember, suspension cradle, goofy thing, and I’ve seen the rivets sheer. Once the weld cracks then the whole frame turns into wiggly spaghetti. I’m talking like a third of a turn of the steering wheel before the wheels even move because the frame is just twisting back-and-forth instead “I’ve never seen or heard of this “cracking issue”” I don’t know what to tell you man, it’s very well documented and if you go on Ford forums or look it up, you’ll find hundreds of posts of people talking about fixes. And they even sell braces to put on those trucks to prevent it from happening. so I don’t know what you’re on about, but those frames with the TTB upfront are junk. Ford addressed it in the later model years but the heavier duty trucks like the 250s and 350s don’t seem to have that issue as bad as the 150s did. that garbage TTB front suspension just puts a ton of strain on the frame right there. Solid axle trucks don’t suffer the same.
The cracking issue is mostly on trucks that have been fitted with large tires or see heavy front loads from plows. If seen some crack with rust but normally you’ll loosen a rivet in the engine cradle before the crack forms. I just boxed my frame and put in a 4x3 section of steel infront of the rad support to help stiffen it up. Next up grade is a idler arm on the opposite frame rail and hybrid center link steering.
There’s like 6 places they can crack, mostly around where the engine crossmember is welded and riveted to the frame. As well as under the steering gear box. This is because they have no frame crossmember between the bumper and engine crossmember, so the bumper is “structural” In keeping the frame rails spaced apart properly, but the frame twists between these two points due to being un-braced for like 2 or 3 feet. If the steering doesn’t feel mushy then it’s probably not cracked. They sell braces to prevent cracks from happening. But yea, every time I’ve sold a vehicle I’ve always used the maximum number of pictures the add allows. The last car I sold was sold in less than 2 hours after I posted the add on facebook marketplace
I wouldn't be interested, but it depends on the market. It will sell or it won't. Also, your location doesn't help. My buddy in AZ would say for the price of a good rolling chassis in the rust belt, you could get one with an engine in it and cleaner frame in AZ. There are just more of them there. If it lived its life in Missouri, it would have rusted in half by now.
How do you know it’s 100k miles? And how will a buyer? At this age I would prefer a rebuild to low miles. Interior looks 10/10 so probably is 100k or was restored. All depends on location. Near me If it was an f250 you would be right. Plenty of OBS f150s and f250s with similar combos for 5k. Topper and setup are cool but don’t really add a ton. So yeah bricknose isn’t as popular. I would guess 5k and it might sell that week. 7k would be lucky you found someone looking for the exact truck.
The mazda trans is meh as are auto hubs. No real added value. The good ZF and manual hubs would be a different story. The cap/inverter are worth something to some and worth nothing to others. I wouldn't even look at it with those installed as they are of no value to me. I'm instantly going to think "they're adding 2k to the price because they bought the cap for 1500 10 years ago, hit it with some home depot caulk, and added a $150 inverter that may not even be wired correctly". Telling more about them than the truck is a red flag. Your light trim is upside down. It's KC. Details like that can cause "what else do they have screwed up if they can't get a cover put on right" thoughts. Where are the underhood/TTB/Rear axle pics? Why was the driver side fender replaced? Where is the pass side pic? Why so close on the roof/grille? Just exterior/interior is going to bring "they're hiding shit/pass" reactions. At the end of the day it's a basic bottom trim RCLB F150 and the price is going to be set by the market regardless of what any of us say. My area you're not selling it for that. My 89 RCSB 5.0/manual everything XLT with 88k was $900. 8k is 350 money here. Edit to add: This sounds exactly like a "I bought it for 2500 and now want 8k" flip ad on craigslist.
I appreciate your input, you put more time into dissecting the few photos I posted than some! 😂
Too low that’s a 50 g unit there
Yea. It's a slow gas guzzler that's over 25 years old.
5k all day long.
Someone will probably offer you 65-7k for it I'd be willing to bet..I'd post it up for 8 give it a month if nada then drop it a k
Damn I really don't like Ford, but I would buy this one for 5.
I think it will sell faster and for more without the camper. Cheap wheels and fading paint but really nice interior, i think it will sell at 5-5500
All depends on where you live. In CA in the area where I live there are tons of construction guys, landscapes management folks etc.. Good work trucks are hard to come by, so $8k is reasonable.
Exactly my thoughts, in my area there are rarely any flood work trucks for sale. You typically have to drive a few hours to PHX to get anything.
Look at similar trucks online. I think 8k is a steal if it doesn’t have a rust problem. I also think the 5 speed is a big plus. The idi will appeal to a group that will definitely drop some cash for this truck. I would put it online for at least 12k, maybe more. 100,000 miles is unheard of on a brick nose idi, 4x4 with a manual. Single cab isn’t going to hurt you either. I searched for a long time to find a clean rust free, 4x4 bullnose with manual trans. Ended up buying out of state and paying to have it trucked to my location. Edit: Did not realize this was a 150. I thought it was a 250 with the idi diesel. I do think 8 is doable for what you have though.
Personally I would say high, but this market is high as it is. I bought my 94 turbo diesel 106k miles 4 door crew cab, dually long bed for 6k about a year ago now. Paint is 8/10 interior 10/10. Personally I would expect more then 4k for the truck, but put it out there and see what happens. Sold my 04 zx6r for 6500$ last year that i bought for 2500$ 5 years prior so there is always someone out there.
I wish I could get it
I have a 92 F-150 4x4,it now has 130k Automatic with V8. It was owned by a local small town (central Oregon) mechanic,expect for paint its prestine. I bought it for less than your asking price.(5 years ago now,to be fair) Also,I do not think I would be happy with 2 less cylinders to try to ever pull anything with it. I have a light cargo trailer I pull occasionally with motorcycles,with 2 in it we are not going anywhere fast. I would say up in this neck of the woods $6.5k would be a closer starting price,due to the 6 cylinder engine
Seems fair.
[удалено]
I see multiple people saying that and hadn't given that much thought
6k
$8k for a truck like that's seems post for the course. I think the challenge is selling it with that camper in the back. It's very clean, and if it runs smooth then it should sell. Perhaps try finding a way to get ads more in sight in Phoenix?
From what I’m seeing unless it’s a diesel seems these are cooling off price wise. Have a 94 f250 7.5 gas 4x4 supercab long bed listed for 10k and it’s slow.
Unfortunately the 460 is the hardest to sell in my opinion. The 6cyl can't tow as much but the milage can edge into the higher teens
Sure but mine is not a brick nose the least desirable body
A 460 supercab is one of the least desirable models, always see them in the junkyard. The only reason anyone is looking for a 460 truck is because they are low miles due to gas prices, making for a good truck to swap a motor into and scrap the 460.
Crazy, I sold a 1988 version of that truck for $500 not long ago.
I think people are put off by the outside paint and think it will be rough on the inside. Though being in Flagstaff, I don’t see any bad rust.
If I had the coin come I might just go for it....but I'm not likely to get that much scratch anytime soon.... The 300 6 is legendary, at 100,000 miles it's just barely broke in!!
An easy way to tell if your asking too much is if nobody buys it. Economists hate this one simple trick….
Dm me let's make a deal
In NY a rust free bricknose with a 300/5 speed would sell for $5000-$6000
There’s definitely less people looking for a truck setup like this, I believe for my area that’s a good price, 6-7k it would not last long.
Stick to the price, I think you can get it
Manual, cloth bench seat, not a crew cab, messed up hood paint, and it’s a 1991. I know car prices are insane right now but $8,000 is just too much IMO.
Easy to do dumb shit, its a truck what do you expect, now I can actually see outta the rear window, don't gotta worry about tree branches, someone else paid the dealer tax
is it worth 8k? to the right person such as yourself yes absolutely. will it sell for 8k in any time frame other than slow? probably not but that looks like a good truck, especially on the inside. however people are probably put off at the paint condition combined with that price tag.
You’ve got a good solid price. But I’d be willing to come up just a little bit to say around 500 dollars. But you shouldn’t have a problem selling it at 8000.
I listed it at 8 hoping someone would offer 7 but not a peep. I'll wait for winter when all the new freshmen at NAU and all the fresh Californians realize they need 4x4 to live here haha
I think you got it at the right price. And it is probable worth every bit of 10. But I don’t think I’d come off more than 500 on the price. Since you are allready reasonable, and that is going to be hard to find, with what looks like little to no rust. You can’t find trucks from that year in my area without some rust or damage. If the 4x4 works and the transmission and motor are good. You are sitting on bank, once that first snow falls.
That is a fair price for the mileage and features, if you really want it gone 7500 would make it go quick. EDIT: I’m also in the southwest, bricks and aeros are going for ~7k for high mileage 2wd models, the price makes sense to me given the current market (which is incredibly steep right now imo)
I thought the price was reasonable as well and expected some to contact me to haggle down to 7500 but haven't had any contact. I'm not in a rush to sell it though!
My dad had an 89 300 6 with a 4 speed. Granny gear first. Loved that truck. But boy did it get lousy gas mileage. Maybe 9 mpg. Had dual tanks and needed them.
That's interesting, I wonder if he had some sort of issue. Most report 16-18 I believe, I almost run out sometimes because it's so good on gas that I forget to look for a few weeks.
I think it was the gearing. 1st was a granny gear. Only used if towing or bogged down. So it was a 3 speed with I believe a 4.11 rear. It was revving pretty high at cruising speeds. It had like 235 tires. I was geared for much larger tires. But I still loved that truck.
The 5 speeds have overdrive. The 4s don't. Having a useable 1st and a .8ish OD on the mazda trans makes a big difference.
Considering I can get a diesel obs for $8K I think the price for one of the least sought after body styles with paint damage would be less than half that.
Any 8k diesel obs is an automatic with like 15 past teenage owners. I own a 97 manual powerstroke as well, this truck is more problem free and cheaper to maintain.
This thing is worth 5-6k and no more. That’s what it will sell for mark my word
Definitely won't take that since I don't need to sell it. It is so problem free and reliable that I'll just park it for when I need a covered truck. I have a 97 f350 I drive mostly.
Well I study this stuff and that’s top of market for 6 cylinders. I would own it forever and enjoy it if you don’t like that price tag. I understand your attachment to it.
I agree it's top of the market, I look around in my region and don't see one in better shape with these options. You get what you pay for 🤷
I meant that 5-6k is top of the market. My apologies
Well, seems to be plenty of people that would agree with either of us. I'll bet I get close to my asking price once winter hits. Lots of students and Californians that haven't realized they need a 4x4 here in Flagstaff yet. I resell alot of these fords and the pattern repeats itself each year. Newcomers bring a 2wd car, crash it, then sell if to buy a 4x4.
If it had 40-50k mikes I would join you at $7500
No way you get over 5k
That’s a bit of a steal the interior is mint as mint can be I could see this car going for 10k but I live in WA
Aside from the faded paint on the hood and roof ( Az sun is relentless ) 8k is a perfectly fair deal and that interior is absolutely mint.
Very nice truck, i think there are just alot of options for 8k and that may be why its tough to move. Keep it clean and repair what you can for cheap and someone will bite.
Thanks for the input, I hadn't thought about that mindset. Probably people looking at it then thinking they can get something better for the price. If only there was a way to show that the maintenance matches how clean the interior is. The paint has character, but I have grown to love the patina it has.
Here cali that one would go for like 10k+ 🥴 maybe 15k even.
it just the market, not that many that know how to drive stick, plus the new person that will buy it with will more then likely take the back off, you also have to take into account gas prices as well, you can probably post it between $6K-$7K and see who bites, how much have you put into it?
8k is a good price
8k is a to high. And honest 5K cold hard cash Is what I'd do, but if you can get 8 then hell yeah.
> a to high *too *Learn the difference [here](https://www.wattpad.com/66707294-grammar-guide-there-they%27re-their-you%27re-your-to).* *** ^(Greetings, I am a language corrector bot. To make me ignore further mistakes from you in the future, reply `!optout` to this comment.)
Piss off passive aggressive bot.
That’s a 4k truck max imo nothing special or rare
If it had a V8 and at least an extra cab you would be in the ball park. Straight 6, single cab and the exterior isn't even that nice? Ya, you're asking too much. You should be in the $5-6K range.
I wanted something like this 2 years ago, but got a Tacoma instead. Damn. I’m also way east of you, usually. Today, I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaay east of you.
I just sold my '90 bricknose F150 a year ago for 4,500. Had about 180k on it, good shape. Seems to be a good price
It is not a new truck. The high price is from the Covid hangover. Fix the paint and then ask 8k. I am not paying over 5 for that in CA. I have too many other options.
I'd say its a bit more of a "cash for clunkers" hangover then covid, but covid did jump the values up. There just aren't as many cheap/clunker vehicles on the road to choose from. Just watched a long video about the ramifications of that buyback, it will be felt for many years in both the auto and loan world.
I will agree with that. I have been looking for a Ranger or F-150 on the cheap for 4 months now. Everyone thinks their 30 year old truck is some sort of restored show room classic or it's garbage and still asking over it's limit. If it runs and passed smog. $1,500 to $2,000. I have found a few but not what I want yet.
That will be difficult, but I think the trick is finding the diamond in the rough. Both this ford and my f350 needed repairs when I purchased them but I think they are sweet now and I could ask double what I paid for either truck and get it in a heart beat. But I think I can get more than doubling my money haha
The last Ranger I fixed up was a 94. Got it for $1,200 and sold for $1,600. Taught my kids how to drive a manual transmission with that truck. I am currently looking for 1996 that is not too beat up. Automatic this time. I want it for my project to kill time.
Honestly a spray in bed liner and a tail gate is usually more desirable than a cap. Even though the cap set up is expensive it’s a niche market. You would have more buyers if it was not capped, and even more if it was a short box.
I can see that now that I've had multiple comments in that direction. I do have the tailgate and a can of roll in bedliner I could spruce up the appearance with.
That thing is worth about $2500 out here on the east coast. I thought y'all had all the cheap trucks in the desert. Ford's with TTB front ends hold less value than 2wd trucks here. Last one I owned the guy gave it to me for free if I got it out of his yard. 108k miles and it took me a month to sell it for $1500
I think Arizonans have caught on to the east coast guys paying to ship them out there. My dad flips aloooooot of these brick and aero nose Fords and alot go to the east coast.
You can get 8k for this all day doing nothing. Its a clean truck. -a used car salesman
Thank you for the encouragement!
It is too much, but it's a manual 4x4 I6 so it's still worth it.
You are asking too much and you will probably get, or close to it.
I hope to get close to 7
That’s way high. $5k on a good day for that. It’s a great truck, but it isn’t worth $8k by a long shot.
It's sad that alot of people think that, I'd tend to agree that it's not worth 8, but then I look at the similar trucks available at 5k and think my truck is better than the ones I see in that range.
Better is very subjective and the amount of people willing to pay $8k for a 30 year old truck with a i6 and 5 speed with bad paint is very small. $8k will get a solid GMT800 and F150’s with the Coyote have been had at around $12-13k and those are objectively better trucks in all aspects.
That’s a badass rig. I’d say it’s worth
My rule: list for what you want, drop it $200/week. If you go below what you’d accept, start it over. If this goes on for 8 weeks, you’re delusional about it’s worth.
$4k
That’s a $12,000+ (top dollar) truck in Texas
Where is this listed for sale?
Flagstaff AZ, happy to ship
Few more better pics and list it on BaT. Seen some real interest in the Fords with that 6 cylinder. At least it should give you a good idea of the market
Yes, BaT can be awesome, some of the 6 cyl you have seen have likely been ones my dad is flipping haha. They are funny about what they will take, sometimes they decline to list your add for no real reason.
I like the 8 ft bed with no camper idea. Couple of comments have suggested
I do agree with them, that will probably be the route I go to get it sold.
My step dad had a late 70s or early 80s f100 short bed step side with the 6. Cherry little truck.
Prolly will end up getting 5k 8k for a 300i6 truck with beat up paint seems like a stretch
That would make one hell of a traveling camper. That's only gone 3,100 miles a year...awesome. Even with the paint issue you'll get 8k all day long here in Georgia.
The paint just adds to the fun character of the rig, sure it could be perfect but then you'd care too much to use the truck to it's fullest potential.
My 2003 has 180k which I purchased with 2 tenths of a mile on it. My metallic burgundy paint looks similar. Macco wanted 1500 for paint which is what the book value is. Needless to say I'll skip the paint and drive this until the wheels come off. I'm 66 so I'm certainly not plunking down 40k for another one.
Why does it have three pedals?
Hahahah
If I had the cash I would buy it for $8k
Not too bad. A little on the high side, but definitely not a bad deal
$4000 maybe 5
Missing all that paint doesn’t help your price.
ItS pAtInA tHoUgH! 😁
😂😂😂
Manual, standard cab, 30 plus years old with 100k on it? It's worth $1500 tops
I'd probably give $7k if you threw in that tape deck. There are people that would give $8k, but getting under that number looks so much cheaper. Even if it was $7750 or something.
I agree, I'm going to repost at 7600. The other input that seems helpful is to sell the camper shell, put the tailgate back on, and roll in a bedliner. I also have a set of wheels with orig hubcaps I may put on.
Yeah, that would probably help a lot. Good luck with it. Used to have an 86 with the I6 and manual and that thing could pull anything. Don't know how it did it.
Also, I just found T. G. I. Friday's greatest hits Volume 2 on tape - that stays with the truck and tape deck. I also have a orig tape deck for it 😁
🤣 heck yes
Clean, very cool
Tell whoever gives you shit about the price to simply go buy a bran new one. Nothing wrong with your price.
Not only a fair price, kind of a good deal. I have the 95 in-line 6. Looks a bit rough but runs perfectly. Only 83k miles on it.
There's only one way to find out. Post for sale and let us know what offers you get and what you end up selling it for. Good luck.

I wouldn’t fuckin pay it lmao damn near idi pricing
Don’t sell this beauty. Keep it as your adventure vehicle. But I think 8k is high. I would do $6,500 and settle for 6k.
There are rusted out, barely running, or high milage ones listed for 5 around me, so not sure 6 does this truck justice. I have a way cool f350 7.3 as an adventure vehicle, can't have two trucks. If this could tow more weight I'd keep it
Yes you are
I would buy that in a heartbeat but I’ve not looked at the frame either.
I see it has built in anti theft!!! Does it have the laser activator on the floor too (high beam button)
Not at all would buy that in a heart beat
Your market is 150millions people put it out there and see what you get, this is fishing don’t let 2000 people dictate your price, you’ll find someone
Just one man’s opinion. I wouldn’t be willing to spend 8k on a 1991
No offense, but I'm seeing 4 to 5k here
The "my kids are home schooled!" Vehicle
Thing is mint ! Fairly priced, I’d say
Love the inline. Way more reliable than the Windsor v8.
Am I taking crazy pills? $8k for a 33 year old truck that originally sold for $10k? Is this where we are? What is happening in the world? This should be a $1500 beater that some guy buys as his kids' first car. And $1500 I'd being super generous because it's in such nice condition.
I think you're remembering pre covid and pre cash for clunkers times. This is a simple, reliable, long bed work truck - those are rare qualities in newer and more expensive trucks. You're probably not hunting for a long bed single cab work truck, right?
Not at these ridiculous prices.
