    I am buying my first truck. The truck was used for flatbed work and comes with what seems to be a really nice headache rack. I'm gonna be pulling tankers and have no use for it. The rack itself is a monster in size covers the whole back of a flat top freightliner an barely tucks inside the cab extensions. It has two doors with 4 latches two on each door. Two work lights on top with strobe. Also on bottom it has air an electrical hook ups. Also diamond plate finish all enclosed. I have no clue what it's worth, an I have no use for it so I want to sell it to help fund stuff I need like pump and hoses. If anyone could give me any info on what it could be worth I would really appreciate it. There is a lot of flatbed work in my area so I don't think I will have trouble moving it, just don't want to cut myself short on the price. I will try to get picture later my phones not working with me right now.

    Thanks

    It's worth absolutely nothing, give me your contact info and I'll take it off your hands for free!:biggrin_25525:

    Don't give it up, OP. Yank it off the frame, throw it in storage, cosign it at a dealer- whatever you do, don't give it up. She's worth atleast scrap...

    I wouldn't come off it for less than $700 and that's roughly half of new.

    I have tried to find one like it to get a price but can't. Everything I find either has no doors or 3 doors.

    Heres a picture of it

    Thanks for all the info. When I take delivery of the truck I will pull it off maybe put some shine back in it an put it out there an see what I can get. If no takers then I will put it in the back of my shed an wait till I find someone starting out as a O/O an gonna flatbed an make them one heck of a deal on it. I know how hard it is to start out with me being on the middle of starting out as a O/O, and I have had a few O/O help me out an still are with selling stuff cheap to me to help lower my start up, so I will return that favor.

    So I found out today that the truck had a diamond power apu. Again it sound crazy but I have no use for it either. So I found out they are around 3900 new, so what do you guys think they are worth used. I was thinking maybe a package deal on headache rack apu an chain hanger maybe 2-2500. Anyone think that's fair.

    About $800 give or take a few dollars, wouldn't let it go for much less would be asking 900 to 950 and let them talk you down a hundred.
