hello my neighbor to the north (I am in doodah/wichita)

thats a really clean truck, I think your price is right for a couple reasons

1. it runs. too many dont.

2. its a GMC. that means high pressure oiling and great power, the gmc motors are easily hotrodded. also, the front end is unique. its a late 48, they changed in mid year, the early ones had a HEAVY grille and a frame mounted saddle gas tank.

3. the front end is the same as half tons, thats a BIG DEAL, in fact you should put that in your ad because guys that are looking for a truck to work on usually want to make a 1/2 ton shortbed out of it. that cab and front end means a buyer would only need a bed and rear fenders and running boards. most trucks like this have the "big truck" front end, which is wider and taller.

4. its not very rusty. this is also a big deal. believe me, you may think that is rusty but seriously that is a great truck to start with, I have seen it all.

5. its red. I can only buy green trucks, and I have only ever seen one factory red one. the "resell red" thing is real.

if I were buying I will step up with my offer, but I am not buying. I dont think 2700 is impossible, make sure you advertise it as the 1/2 ton front end, GMC engine, and take good pictures of the floor. you may want someone to buy it and use it like it is but the sad truth is that no one will probably do that. tires are expensive, top speed is disappointing, and ride will be ROUGH.

remember that in kansas you can sell on a bill of sale, and that 49 and down do not need a MVE-1 inspection, they just check the database and issue a title. thats helpful if you have a 10-20-30-40 year old title for the truck.

good luck!
