Truck value

I know, another thread about the same thing. What is value or expected street sale value of my truck? 2004 VHO (precursor to the 2wd SS). 45k miles, 6k miles on new 408 motor.

Some basics:
Texas Speed forged 408 (Eagle crank, Callies Compstar Rods, Diamond pistons); WCCH stage 2 317 heads; Comp 228/232; ported oil pump; ls7 lifters; hardened pushrods; 60 lb injectors; '05 efans; Nelson harness; nelson SD tune; Walbro 255 pump; 160* Tstat. Motor built for boost, currently has 9.6CR. Was going front mount. TSP said the block/setup was good for maybe 800-900 crank HP. I wasn't shooting for that much.

4l65E with FLT valvebody (only available through Nelson Performance); vette servos; Yank 3,000; Tru-Cool 40k cooler; 3.73's with G80.

Thorley Tri-Y headers; dual magnaflow 3" spun ceramic cats; Corsa catback

2/3" drop with keys & Belltech leafs. IAS drop shocks. Gibbs 20" wheels, 275/55 front and 305/55 rear.

SS white gauge cluster; pillar 3-guage pod with interceptor, AEM wideband, and Autometer FP gauge all white faced with black trim to match factory SS cluster. Debadged and Gibbs white tailgate spoiler. Custom 6.7 liter emblem :rolleyes:

Extra parts waiting for install: 90mm DBW TB, intake, rails, injectors from GTO, Torque 90mm wiring adapter; Pacesetter LT's; new Nelson fan harness (I cut up the old one thinking I new what I was doing); 2 new takeoff 275/55 Goodyears for the front.

Any ideas?

Id pay 3k most likely for that. TOPS

No she isn't. Not that she doesn't mention it daily though!

Hate to say it, but to the normal buyer all the upgrades will decrease value tremendously. You have to find someone that is looking for what you have, You could prob. get some good money for it. Thats a tough deal, you never get even close to what you have in it, in my experience....... Good Luck

you dont have a ballpark that you are looking to get? check Custom Auto Classifieds

Put a stock 6L back in it and sell it. Sell the performance engine on the side, it'll be worth a lot more that way if you decide to do that.

Thought about that route too. Then I would have a motor for the next project...maybe a Chevy Luv with a 408?

That is the EXACT route I would go. I would also turn most of it back to stock also....but I would not touch the suspension stuff--unless you just really, really wanted to do so. It would be a PITA getting it back there (stock), but you will profit more in the long run.

FUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK you...you pole smokin, cock nobblin, fudge packin, Rusty Trombone givin, ankle grabbin, gag reflex makin POS...:)

How much you looking to get for it?

maaan that is 1 of my favorite trucks,i hate too see you get rid of it .unless i buy it.lol.thats 2 bad i hate seeing anyone getting rid of theyre truck ,when i know how much sweat you put in it not too mention the money.nice truck man i dont know what its worth but good luck ,and let us know when its for sale.

How much do you want for the motor?

honestly its one of my favorite trucks on here and GMfullsize. if we hadn't just started my wifes ride I would be interested. i would say atleast 18000

I'd almost trade you my truck for yours as they both sit. Almost.

Thanks for all the compliments.

I really don't know what a modded truck is worth, which is why I started this thread. Maybe it is just because I have been working my ass off at work and remodeling a new house (DBTBSS's take on it anyway!), and I haven't worked on it at all except to get it to pass inspection (legally!). I have parts to make it faster sitting on the shelf. Maybe I have had it for 4+ years and I am bored with it. I don't know.

Fog - I thought about that, but if I pulled the motor, I would plan on keeping it for a project more than likely. I've got $6k + in it if that gives you an idea.

Z - Thanks, but I was thinking of a smaller vehicle. I know what you mean though.

BadC10 - I don't know. I just started this thinking process, so I am a bit uncertain.

Murdered - Thanks for the idea.
