I am looking at buying a 97 SLT 4x4 3500 5 speed, the truck is clean with just over 150,000 miles. The biggest downfall is the regular cab part, at least for me. The truck has been used just not hard, its been taken care of where as the body is not scratched or beat up at all, interior is clean no rips of tares. What would you guys pay for a truck like this? I am kinda unsure as to what it's worth since it's 10 years old now. Doesn't seem like 1997 was 10 years ago now, wow. Anyway I was just trying to get some of your insight as to what you'd be willing to pay.

Thanks.

 

a truck like that down here would probably sell quick for 10k. i saw a 95 4x4 dually sell for 9,500 that was a piece of crap. motor was good, but the truck was falling off the motor!

 

Right said on that one

those are super desirable work horses down here, the single cab 4wd five speed duallies i mean... Awesome haulers that can be turned on a dime..

Get it! You wont regret it one bit. Like Rick said they are very desirable. I've tried to find one and its not that easy especially one thats in good shape.

 

I'm 6'4", and my old single cab 97 was surprisingly comfortable!

I'm actually looking to pick up a single cab as a 2nd rig

 

Thanks for the reply's guys. Like I said I was just thinking about it, since I know some of the trucks history. I am just unsure about the regular cab part. It does seem like a lot of money to me, but from what you guys think it's an alright deal to jump on. Like I said the truck is pretty clean, it's been cared for and not abused at all. Any more opinions are welcomed.

 

I've had a regular cab for 5.5 years and would buy another tomorrow. I prefer the tighter turning and the appearance, and don't really need a backseat with a little baeater Accord that I also drive. If you know it's history, like the truck, and have the $$$ I would spring for it. You can always get your money out of it if you decide to sell it.

 

Closer to 6'3 here

more like 6'2.5 lol, but Forrest is right, those single cabs are super comfy, Just to give u an idea, my inseam on my twenty x jeans ranges from 38-40, dependin on whats available...

Rick my inseam on my 13MWZ's is 36, and I am not quite 5'10". And have short legs. A redneck's inseam is not as much related to the length of his legs as much as it is the inseam lengths avillable.

 

those single cab 4x4s are worth their weight in gold here too. great pulling rigs. as far as the price, if you think it is worth the money, it probably is
