Nice 81-87 cab & door value??

[HeavyD]

Ok, I try to make a long story short..

A couple years ago bought an 83 GMC base model (lwb 2wd 305) off wife's uncle for $1500..she wants in on the car scene despite warnings of cost.

Finds out how much to make it "juicy" her term for nice, and she spins out at paint and body cost, engine stuff, yada.

Sell to mechanic who wants cab and doors since they are pretty good for here, in minute of stupidity sell it to him.

Year later wife realizes family heirloom is gone and SNAPS..I am in doghouse..still.

Offered 2K, 3K, then 5K for truck, he says will only trade for nice cab and doors, no sale.

Sooo..what is a "nice" cab with doors worth? I am thinking I will call All American Classics in WA Monday as I see their ad a ton on IG, but they are 19 hrs from me and this opens up a wide area I can travel to in that distance to bring it home or maybe even have one shipped..as winter sucks with a trailer and a 15mpg 5.4 Ferd to pull it with

Anyone with an idea of going rate? Can't need much for rust work or he won't take it naturally.
