I currently have a 1997 Chevy driver, a 84 SWB with a 383 that is my toy, and another 84 SWB that is waiting patiently on a full resto-modding, plus I just sold my 88 Suburban... This is in addition to my brother having a lowered 87 SWB and a 4x4 86 SWB, his girlfriend having an 89 K5 Blazer and my girlfriend having a 85 SWB. That doesn't even touch the 15-20 parts trucks we have bought and sold over the last couple years.
That being said, a buddy of mine just called me telling of an 88 Camper Special Dually he just found locally. It's fully loaded, red on red (peeling clear and lots of chips) with a TBI 454, four speed manual, limited slip 14-bolt, hydraboost, huge front and rear swaybars, new brakes and stainless simulators, and fairly new tires. It has some hail damage on the hood (was the only part hanging out past the carport, trying to save the dually fenders) and the A/C needs to be charged. Every cab light and marker light works perfectly and it drives great, plus he has started adding some chrome and billet trim inside. The interior is very, very clean with new carpet, and it was a retired guy's race car hauler for the last 20 years... All that for $1500 obo.
Should I get it? What is the market for these things in today's economy? If I get it, will it be mine forever or could it sell for a profit?
Any suggestion would be helpful at this point...
