With no A/C I think you limit the number of potential buyers, since most regard this as a modern necessity. My experience is that most mods are not valued as much a stock rebuilds to OEM quality. Most guys I know who rebuild old trucks hoping for a profit end us losing money, but your truck is very nice and probably would do better for sale in CA. In terms of reliable daily driver with modern conveniences, $13,500 still buys a nice truck into the 2000s year range. You need a buyer who really likes old stepsides. Advertising in Hemmings might even be a good choice, or AutoTrader, or Ebay with a steep reserve. Good luck.
