what is it worth....1996 duelly five speed...141k all stock...truck is from maryland, broke down here in pa..and sat for 5 years...now i got it to fix..and maybe buy, but i cant figure out what to pay...rocker panel is gone...doors need replaced...and the front axle needs replaced cause the rust is so bad...i droped the tank cause the fuel lines were in bad shape...as i put a new lift pump on to make it run i thru some rubber lines to the tank that i just thru in the bed..just to make it run and drive on the farm a little... know i have it running WHAT IS IT WORTH>>>>please help me...i really want this thing...

 

A really rusty dually in really bad shape not much. Probably worth more in parts than whole.

 

Truck like that is worth more apart than together.

Make SURE, really, really sure, it has a clean title prior to doing anything with it. To me, it sounds like the truck was stolen, and dumped off when something broke.

I hate to throw water on your dreams, but it's probably just not worth it unless you want to part it out.

 

the truck belongs to a family member...so i do know some history about it...

 

if you have got it running, probably a couple grand. i have the same truck, and you WILL hook a funnel from your wallet into your toilet on the front end and brake systems, expecially if it sat.

 

thats what i am worried about...i found another front axle for 600.00

 

not the axel so much , as the track bar, all the steering components, etc

 

That's good...

Read my italic signature line....

 

o yea i think the rear is shot too...............

 

Post some pics of the truck..

 

Yep - at this point, parting is your best bet.

I would think that getting the engine running would be well worth the while, then get it out and sell that and the transmission. Body parts (even things you might think are not worth anything, could be worth quite a bit.)

May want to do a Google search on parting out a truck to see what is the best way to go about it.

I did, and found this video (which may help you feel better about giving up on a dream... )

WOW...that video was great...i wish i could get pics of it up on the net...but...i cant..i dont have time to do that...but i want to thank you guys for the ideas, you all have been very helpfull on this DREAM....i quess i will stick with the first gen....

 

hey guys its been a while on this since we talked...i made a deal with the guy who owns it..we came up with 3000. does that seem a good price

 

not really...given the condition you described, plus the stuff you know it needs, plus the stuff you DON'T know it needs...it's worth what a running p-pump engine is worth, imo. 2k tops.

 

wow i was sure hoping someone was going to say yes...i figured 3 k for the truck and 3k to get it on the road..thats what i was thinking..i figured 6 k for a 96 dual wheel pickup was good
