You just did all that work and you want to get rid of it? I hate to tell you this, but you will not even get enough to cover the costs of the mods you've done most likely.

I would say 4 to 4500 where you live. Here in the southern states maybe $6500.

Too bad, that truck is "worth" a lot of money, but nobody is gonna give you close to what you've got into it, because if they had that kind of money they'd probably just make their own truck. Where abouts do you live?
I spend a lot of time browsing through kijiji, and see a lot of trucks with price tags on them that people just won't ever get. I'd guess 5-6 for that truck but that's just it, a guess. Around here there just seems to be a ceiling on GMT-400s, they only sell so high no matter how nice they are.

That is one sweet f***ing truck man. If it was mine I'd never sell it.

i paid 6k for a 98 crew dually 1 ton with a new trans and a newer 6.5 and many various other new things and had about 240k miles on it and you have a half ton, while its nice looking i would be surprised if you see anything over 4k for it

you guys are probly right.. might just put it up for 10 large and see what happens..lol.... im in Saskatchewan

heres why,, im the type of guy that any small rattle or blemish bothers the hell out of me.. i lifted my truck, just cuz ive never done it.. ive always had lowered s-10's and such, so i wanted to try going up this time.. i think ive decided its not for me.. its too stiff for my liking,,, i do renovations so when i need to haul some garbage its a bit of a climb to get to it.. and my milage, im not blaming the lift, but i get 8.6 MPG,, its just horrible, so ive been loking for a 4 banger s10 to bomb around town and was going to keep my truck cuz i do like it and i need to yank my 14 foot cargo around now and again.. just figured if i could sell the 98 and get like an 02 03 z71 then ide be ok

Knowing the Canadian market and what people pay for these trucks, definately list that truck for at least $9,500. Seriously. You will get at least $8,000 i'd assume.

People list stock trucks like that up here with the same km's for 5,000 with no rust
