I would do a little research on prices,such as truckpaper,craigslist,or maybe your local library may have nada priceguide for commercial vehicles,so you can get an idea what its worth.Nice looking setup,shouldnt have to much trouble selling.Good luck!
khund Thanks this. -
I would get it appraised. I know of a finance company that I could probably get her to do it for free. But you would need to try and find a few things out about it. (Hopefully he kept excellent records) ie.: engine,(Model and Horsepower) and date of last overhaul. Transmission model # and if any work done to it, rearend make and model# and ratio, and if any work done to them.
they also want to know interior detail, exterior detail, Wheelbase,etc. -
Crotts Trucking, I had not considered getting it appraised that is a good idea. With my father that truck came before ANYTHING else. He kept it immaculate, it had a complete overhaul in 2008. I can get the rest from all the paper work he kept also my mother kept pretty good records of everything he had done to the truck.

I'm going to be in the market to purchasing a tractor very soon. How many miles on it?
-
Park the truck for now. There is no freight and you will end up disliking trucking. If you sell it now you will get peanuts for it. Hold on to it until trucking picks back up to make a decision.
The truck is paid for and it was your fathers. Just sit on it for now and do nothing. Timing is everything and right now is not your time.khund Thanks this. -

MilkMan, thanks the Peterbilt shop here in Joplin knows my fathers truck very well. Dad spent more time there when he was home than at home. I will try calling them to see if I can get all the stats on the truck.

MuddyWaters, I will have to check the mileage when it gets home and get back to you on that one.
