Back story on this rig...my father-in-law was the original owner of this truck. He sold it at some point fairly early I believe to a friend to buy a diesel 2500. He ended up missing this truck, so he sold the diesel and bought this back from his friend after a short time. Last year he asked me to take it. I didn't really need another truck (I already had 5, now 6), but I could tell it would mean a lot to him for me to take it. I had to put north of $1k into it to get it to pass smog, I put new tires and wheels on it as well as a Sony stereo, and rear camera kit. It still needs shocks, which I'll get done at some point.
I won't sell it while he's still alive as he's clearly happy to see that I'm taking care of it, but just interested to gauge it's value. It's got 117k miles, and the interior practically looks new. I even have the ownership folder that came with it new (it includes slides of all of the dodge pickup line, i.e. slides that go into a slide projector lol). He and my mother in law used it to tow a trailer to Arizona every year for spring training and at least one trip through Mexico. He's even got pics of it on a train car with the 27 foot Avion trailer getting pulled somewhere in Mexico (I can have the trailer as well, but I've got no space or bandwidth to give it the attention it needs).
Anyway, what would this thing be worth? I have to make a trek to Reno to pick up 1,300 pounds of lumber in a week, this will definitely be the truck I'll be taking for the trip!
