as mentioned, the 71-72 swb trucks seem to fetch the highe$t attention, but with respect to pure truck lines....I like 69-72 (blockier nose) style.......the debate will rage with respect to what is truely worth more money....for the most part what I like most....seems to be worth the least....so here is a list of things to stay away from,
manual transmissions...especially on the column
anything with less than 8 cylinders
heavy duty rigs (3/4ton and up)
and 4x4's....well that depends more on where you are located.....but the current trend seems to be more toward 2wd cruisers...rather than 4wd boggers.....by the way, this just seems to be my current observations....and I am fine with that....it makes it easier for me to find what I am looking for at a decent price :smile:
fortunately....or unfortunately if you are selling, these trucks seem to be in a down swing in price....which means you can still have a classic in good shape for less than the cost of a 10 year old 100k mile honda!
