Gen 1 odometers break. Would inspect closely. I'd say $2-3k if it runs perfectly.

It's either a 91 or 91.5.

I'd say by the looks of that trip odometer it might be broken. And by the looks of the seat and the rest of the truck, it has a lot more HARD hours than miles.

If the cab is decent and the frame isn't rotten on the left rail, $3000-$4000 is what they are bringing up here in that shape.

A/C is a bonus.

Correct me if I'm wrong, not uncommon, but doesn't the 91,5 on have inter-coolers? ...Mark

I bet it is a '91.0. I have never seen a '91.5 that was NON intercooled.
'90 trucks didn't come with that style grille or fender emblems.

I agree the mileage may VERY well be well over that. That seat and driver side armrest sure looks like it has seen more miles than 69,000.

Those chrome Warn hubs are usually found on '91.0s and up too.
The '89-'90 are likely to come with the Selectos.
There is some over lap in the switch over years of course.

I know the people on the farm. It was mainly used on the farm and not driven on many road trips. It was mainly used as a hay hauler and pulling trailers. Not heavy equipment. Just farm type stuff.

I’d tend to agree with another poster on that trip odometer sitting at 000.0 I guess there is a chance it was reset when parked but I would venture to guess that it’s broken and the mileage odometer isn’t working but a quick drive around will give you the answer to that. I’d agree on the $3k-$4k price range. I’m in Oklahoma and sold my ‘91 non-ic LE truck just like that except with a straight body, decent pint job, and clean interior for $8k but it was to a college age kid that thought he had to have one. However, mine was mechanically sound in every way

5 years later it's still sitting in that barn. I live in another State so I haven't seen it in awhile.

What would ya'all think the value in now...5 years later.

I'm going to maybe try and buy it.

A year and a half ago I bought a 1990 Dodge LE250 4x4 Diesel with a flatdeck ( deweze bale deck actually) with 187,000 kms or about 177,00 miles on it. The body was in the same condition as yours , and it needed some tlc , but ran really good and the motor and driveline were in good shape. I paid $7500 Canadian or about 5300 bucks USD. My bale deck alone used is worth that much , if not more, and the flatdeck on your truck is worth $5000? us if you bought it new. The flatdeck in my opinion is worth as much as the truck . Go buy the old girl if the motor has good oil pressure , body panel are affordable now. These truck are like a collectable old car now in my opinion!

Thank you for your reply. Just the info I was asking for. Much appreciated.

Yes, I agree 100%. These trucks are now Collectable Classics.

The truck I want to get belongs to my Brother-In-Law's father. The truck is in a barn on the Family Corporation's farm were my Sister/Brother-in-Law live. The problem is they aren't on speaking terms with his father and haven't been for several years.

I'm not contacting Brother-In-Law's father about the truck without his permission. Would potentially create more unnecessary drama.

I hoping the patch things up. Then I'll make my offer to his dad.

Some folks just don't realize life is really short and family is all you got.

I paid $1200 for a 89 that sat for at least 12 years. I did not bother to try and crank it because the fuel cap was missing. Pulled the bed and got 10 gal fuel out and had a 1/2 gal water at bottom. Put the fuel in my daily. Transplanted engine into ford. Bumped the key to see if the starter was working. **** thing cranked up and ran great I don't even have a fuel tank yet.
