Found a 1988 3500 RC long bed, 4x4 with the 454 and only 10,000 miles. What would this be worth approximately?
I would drive as is, and/or do a complete swap into my 95.

That depends on ALOT of things.... your location, how many more are there that are similar, even time of year sometimes comes into play.

That being said... I'll be "THAT" guy that will say it first. What one of us is willing to pay may and will most likely be differant then what you are willing to pay. And also depends what the seller feels it's worth, after all the seller is the one setting the initial price. So really it's up to you and the seller to compromise on a good price between what the seller wants and what you want to spend.. offer what you feel is a good price and bargin from there.

Just remember as an '88 3500 it will have a non-overdrive transmission, if that matters to you. Standard would be SM465 (granny low so it's really like a 3 speed), automatic would be TH400. 4L80E didn't hit until '91 and NV4500 not until '92...

I would say judging by how clean it looks in the picture, worth around 10k? I could see an SS454 with that low of mileage being worth much more but a 3500 not so much

I tried looking up this truck on NADA but couldn't find anything for a RCLB K3500 in 88; assuming it's a fire-department truck (blue light on top?) or some sort of municipality truck, base model with crank windows, vinyl flooring and such...
With 10K miles, and if it's spotless; with a 454/TH400, Justin seems about right, 10 or 11K sounds like it'd be the higher end of the spectrum.

I would just drive the truck as is, I wouldn't tear it apart if it looks that clean in person.

I have no idea what it's worth, but I want it.

That is a cool truck.

Yup, old fire station truck.
Havent heard it run yet.
The lights dont go with it. Several holes drilled in the bed.
Maybe a brake cylinder leak.
Looks pretty darn clean.
Forgot about the no OD.
My 95 has 360,000 miles so 10,000 would be sweet.
