    Just my .02.
    Take it to a reasonably reliable shop, have them do a full inspection and dyno run.
    This should give some street cred to the condition. Once you have a solid point of condition, then you can put a price point. Having as much paper work as possible is always good.
    Add say 10 to 12k to the base price for negotiation. Like, look the lady wants it sold, so if you got cash right now, gonna make you a good deal. My best guess for that truck would be approximated 40k. Thats really only because it is a W9. Then the current market, it could go for $72500.00 in an hour.

    That's the heart of it, the current market has people paying above common market values. Hell, I'm still in a rental because it's better than a lease, but everytime I look at used trucks I'm like "it's ridiculously overpriced".

    I would start at at least $45k. Judging by many of the first time posters that come on here ready to go into the trucking business, you will get some interest. A lot of these guys will see the pretty hood and that's all it will take to sell them on it.

    Don't dyno it. Nothing is harder on a truck than the dyno. It will prove nothing.

    Not knowing where the mechanical is, is what's tough.
    45 should get people to at least call.

    Interesting conversation. Glad I am not in the market for a truck.

    Good night all.

    If someone really is interested and wants to feel better about the engine, warm it up, take it somewhere close and let them do an oil sample on it.
