Condition on old trucks is everything. It isn't old enough to be a collector yet, so is there potential for it to become one or is it just a daily driver that is old. Going to need to provide a whole lot more info than what is above for us to be able to help. Mileage, condition, what has been rebuilt, is it the original motor, auto or standard, how much actual body damage, any rust etc. A bunch of pictures would also assist the process.

The one in my Avatar is a 1996 V10, original paint, no rust, is the one you are looking at in anywhere near as good a shape?

no offense, but if you're in the business of buying and flipping I'd definitely hope you'd already know what to pay for something and what you can sell it for.

I'd imagine you're capable of completely resolving the transmission issue yourself, otherwise the cost of paying someone else to do it will completely erase most of your profit margin (or you might ultimately end upside down), so then I'd stay away from it.

Got to agree Red. If I had seen the OP's other posts on here asking the same questions about other vehicles with just as little info, I would not have responded to this one.

The engine is original, has about 185000 miles on it . It is in fair condition. Just wondering what it would be worth if trans was fixed.

I'm going to say expect to spend about 4 grand on the trans. unless you know what to do yourself. .
The truck could go from 1500.00 to 15 K.
SO MORE INFO & PiCTURES .
