About to put this up for sale and undecided on ask price.

59,000.8 miles. Owners manual, runs and drives well. New wheel cylinders, shoes, master, water pump, tires, ignition switch and . . .
Cali Truck with minor surface rust, rotten wood wood in bed with cooler sealant WTH and spray on bedliner, ugh. Couple of dings on hood that lumber rack saved windshield etc. Have emblems for hood.

Headlight switch bad ? Heater core not hooked, leaks ?
Looking for a little guidance as thinning herd and prices all over the place with mucho junk peddled at wild prices.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Look at the classifieds on the Sweptline website for ideas.

I am usually cheap, but the stuff I look at is apparently highly valued by current owner
 
I thought the Sweptline had a bed that was out to the edge of the cab (like later model pick-ups) and what you have is a Step-side model I think the stepsides fetch better prices.
 
Utiline is the "step side" bed name. Hard to give a value without looking up close and inspecting in person but it looks clean. Nice truck. I think this would bring some good money back east.

there you go. Thanks Joe! Being an okie who just escaped twenty three years of living in California, I was gonna say the price goes up the further away from the west coast it went.
I am currently building a 65 and I would say the bedliner mess in the back would also play a role in pricing it.

For sure. I am in total agreement with you. I found lots of little "issues" with mine when I got it in my possession. Sometimes photos make a vehicle look better than it actually is. This one looks awesome though.
 
The true value really depends on the condition of the cab. Those trucks rot bad on the cowl sides, the entire floor, the entire step area, rockers among other areas so an honest revelation of any and all rot has to be given. Someone seriously interested will likely go right to asking about any rust on the cab. I bought a 70 D200 from Montana in 91 and there was no visible rust anywhere but after bringing it home it wasn’t but a couple years after that rust started popping and it popped quick, From inside out. Luckily the floor remained solid but it rusted everywhere else
