Title?

$ amount big question without good pics.

assume the title is fine, and it runs and drives I would say it is worth somewhere between $4,000 to $'how bad you want it'

matching axles in perfect shape alone are $1200 to $2000 grand depending on your local market.

How much will you pay for it?

It has a clear ohio title ....seller wants $4500 firm

That might be a wee bit higher than the current market. Only problem with the market is there is not enough of them for sale to compare to. The only year worse on gas than 85 was 86. Use the fuel cost to barter if you can. I remember buying an 85 out of AZ many years back for $2500 and spent $750 shipping it.

Thanks Recovry4x4, and the other guys who chimed in...if i bought it , it would'nt be a daily driver...use it around my mini farm to haul stuff and tow my pulling truck around on a car trailer....the seller thinks its hot stuff cause its rust free and not many of them around our area (ohio) for sale....if the body was in better condition i know i would'nt have second thoughts...

thanks steve

Im thinking 2,500 to 3,000 range!!!!

Maybe an M1008 would suffice for farm duties. Despite the fact that 85 wasn't a good year for HP ratings, the 454 will move your pulling truck around. I bought a 86 K-30 dually new in 86 when I lived in Dayton Oh. I pulled my 5th wheel travel trailer and a 28' enclosed car trailer with an award winning LUV truck. Never failed to get the job done. I think we got some stock options from big oil the year we toted it to FL and back.
