M1028 whats it worth?

[ssgttype]

I have an M1028 that I picked up a while ago, in a trade, and long story semi-short life changed and I'm going to spend my time fixing another truck instead. It is super clean, 49k on the body, no rust on rockers, frame has peeling CARC paint revealing almost perfect factory frame paint. I'm not sure if its an A2/A3 but it has the dana 70 rear with a Detroit, and Dana 60 front with the limited slip. It has a 6.2 in it, but no transmission. I do have the np208 that came out of it. I don't know if the 6.2 is any good, my friend bought it, and was going to swap it, but took the th400 for another project.

what the heck is this thing worth? attached is the only picture i have of it. it does have a miss matched green passenger door, and an odd cut out of the D/S bed, it also has a hole in the bed from where a gooseneck hitch once was. Located in Southern New Jersey

$1?

$1?

Without a running motor and a transmission, the value would be minimal compared to what you could get if you spend the money to get the vehicle road-ready. In today's market, you could get $15.000 on up for a clean mechanically sound truck.

$1?

Axles are worth a couple grand.

Being it is the dually I think you could do pretty well with it...there aren't many out there...tough part would be location since anyone buying it would need to get it towed home, unless you find someone close to you it'll be tough to sell because of that...that reduces the amount of potential buyers...I'd guess without seeing much of the truck and assuming the engine is good around 4-5k as it is...that's a high start number though only because of what it is and the big axels it has.

The door frame data plate should tell you if its an A2 or A3 (if the NP208 is original to the truck, it's an A3).

There are very few of the dually CUCVs, so it would be worth it to fix that one up.

If you promise not to tell anyone that I modified my A2 - I replaced the 3-speed with a 700R4 out of a 1991 diesel Suburban, turned my "screaming at 55 and 10mpg" truck into a "quietly happy at 65 and 16mpg" one. If you're missing the original transmission anyway....

Cheers

Absolutely nothing, but being the nice guy I am I am willing to drive all the way there and tow it away just to help you out.

I got $6,000 cash in hand if you get it to me here in Michigan.

Normally, if you are trying to sell a vehicle in the SS forum, you are supposed to list it in the Vehicles for sale forum.

I'm not sure he is trying to sell it. Just curious how much it's worth.

It was just a reminder.

Why else would someone post the typical "what's it worth" question (?) - after having said already

... I'm going to spend my time fixing another truck instead.

Pretty sure he won't give it away for free...

He may or may not sell it. I just don't think his intentions were trying to get someone on this site to buy it at this time.

I have a similar truck (M1028a2) that runs, drives and is inspected with similar mileage and also rust free. If all you truck needs is a transmission and some paint I'd say its worth $10,000 in today's market.

I was not trying to sell it in this thread, I was just looking for advice on what it is worth. I know most forums get very upset if you list things for sale without a price. thank you all for the advice.

Oh he'd be reminded if he were trying to sell it here.

At this point it sounds like an honest attempt to place a value on the truck.

It sounds like something I wouldn't mind having since getting rid of my bigger trucks but age has caught up with me.
