I know this truck very well and have workexd on it many times for a good friend of mine here locally, he calls me the other day and wants to seel me his 97 QC, 5 speed with 196K on the clock, this truck is virgin and pretty much how it came out of the box, this is the one we did the 5 gear tac weld on the retention nut, I did an overhead on it once, the pump still has the seal on it and the rivit in the afc housing, he is a stickler for preventative maintenance and has had synthetic oil in it since 20k, he had new ball joints put in but the truck wanders so I think the track bar is shot. the tool box and the 5th wheel plate come out but other than that its all there

he told me to shoot him an offer......what the hell is it worth men????

 

 

i paid 8,500 for mine and it looked very similar in condition and the subscription sounds like mine. i would pay 9k for it bu thats just my opinion

 

according to NADA the clean retail value is 10,300

I was thinkin tween 9 and 10 somewqhere is prolly fair????

 

The market place right now isn't livin up to blue book value but if you know the truck and know it's this clean that's got to be worth somethin if you plan on keepin it. If yer lookin for resale that's a whole new ballgame.

 

from what i can see it does look clean its worth what you wanna offer there a guy here in town that wants 10,000 for a 2000 model thats been rode hard and put up wet and what do you mean by virgin

 

virgin meaning it hasnt had any seal broken...................it still has its cherry

 

oh OH i get it

 

and this truck being a 97 has a lil thing called a p7100....

 

well.. you can always start @ $3500 and work from there
