WhaT SHAPE IS BODY IN ,ANY RUST PROBLEM'S DOES IT HAVE ALL THE DOOR PANEL'S and what does body work look like .being that it does not have a motor n trans the price will drop and also is it 2 or 4x4 .If it's clean and just needing a motor and trans swap I would say 1500 to 2000 .Also remember the times are tough right now so things are dropping in price due to people loosing there job's and looking to survive .I have a 81 crewcsb shortbed lined up thats complete and driving also 4x4 and i am getting it for 2000.00 and then I have found a 93eg cab dually cummin's with auto for less then 2000 also .Plan is to do the swap and then sell the crewcab to make some good money this is my second love building and rebuilding truck's

I bought one from a guy that drove it home from Arizona. Only thing wrong with it was the paint (original) was burnt from the sun and the bed was banged up quite a bit. Fully operational 4X4, 360, 727, just an all around amazing truck. It is a 1975 Crew Cab Dually but super clean. Bought this one and drove it for probably 6-7 months before starting the Cummins swap, and paid only $1200. Is yours 2wd or 4?

Our other C/C dually is a '77 2wd, the cab is bad but is came with new fenders (inner and outer), new ('91-'93) rad support and new grille, '92 rebuilt 4.10 posi D70, and the most beautiful '93 factory take off dually bed. The box is absolutely spotless, and this truck was has for just about $1000.

Other trucks include an '83 and an '85 C/C shortbed, 4wd, both ex military trucks that were bought by a local township and then sold as a pair for $1400.

I know these were pretty good deals, but I think it might give you a good idea atleast where to start. And when you figure out a price let me know.

What ever you want out of it. They are getting harder to find in even fair condition so start high and be willing to consider all offers.

If you want a quick sale then advertise it for what you have in it.

I currently have two Dodge crew cabs and two Dodge Cummins donor trucks to convert. I also have a D150 and a 4 cylinder Cummins that I want to team up. With fuel prices constantly rising and the news media predicting the possibility of seven dollar a gallon gasoline and eight dollar a gallon diesel I'm starting to look at putting either of the crew cabs together as a bad investment. Yea there are a few of us goofy folks that still want one but I predict a rapid demand drop for them on the supply and demand end of the equation. The D150 is starting to look like a better investment considering the possibility of getting high twenties in the miles per gallon department verses mid to upper teens for a crew cab.

Frank have you listed it over at Ramcharger Central. I have a 84 W350 Crew 360/4-speed thats lifted & on 37's that sat for some time I paid $800 for it a few years back but that was a great deal. I would say $1000-1500 depending on body shape would be a fair price.

I just got a 4 door a little while back..

I paid $3500 for it..
but it came with a 6" lift that i plan to sell so I should get some of that money back..
but this truck is 99% perfect.. truck has only 37,000 miles on it.. so it was worth the $3500 in my opinion..
