$2900 With the Gear Vendors overdrive you could part it out for more than this!
Has 454, Gear Vendors Overdrive, T400, AC converted to late model refridgerant, would make someone a great work truck with a little mechanical work. I drove this truck for about 10 years and it will out pull my 96 454 Vortec by a good margin in terms of power.
Engine.. It runs good but needs a valve job I think as it's got a little skip at idle, intermittant skip that I don't think is ignition or carburetor. It is currently filed non-op status which is how I'd want to sell it as I don't think it'll pass smog without fixing the idle miss. Engine also leaks a little oil (has 140K on it) so will need a reseal at a minimum. If I was going to keep it I'd probably just pull it and go through it with a basic rebuild, reseal, valve job, etc.
Gear Vendors Trans.. The electronics (old style) quit a while back to it needs to be upgraded to the newer Gear Vendors electronics. It's a few hundred bucks from my understanding. I also have the stock driveline I think if you wanted to remove the Gear Vendors and sell it separately. (Don't know why anyone would want to they work great). New Gear Vendors units run over $2500 now. The Gear Vendors also has the optional deep sump on it.
Trans (T400)... works great after a little warm up idling for a minute or so. It whines initially on start up if in gear. The oil pickup o-ring has gotten hard and not sealing properly when cold. It works great though after a minute or so warm up, shifts nice and firm just as it was built to do. I ran it in this conditions for over 4 years with no worsening problem so I know its a minor initial oil supply problem when cold only.
Truck is painted red, decent paint job (Mazda Miata Red), would look good for a work truck capacity, although no longer show quality paint (few chips, normal wear and tear). Good tires (stock wheels), dropped 3 in the front 2 in the rear, 2WD, aftermarket front bucket seats (nice ones, Kustom Fit make I think). And it's got a later model (1990) front clip and GMC Grill with the later headlights than came with 81. (These trucks came with stacked rect headlights, not side by side).
