Ok I have a dilema, I have 2 12V's and only need one. The first is a very clean well maintained 95 auto 2wd, 175K, long bed, regular cab. Its clean reliable and very nice but doesnt have all the bells and whistles... My other 12V is a highly coveted 98 QC, SB, Sport, 5spd, Intense blue, 4X4, 147K, fiberglass toneau, spray in bedliner, Infinity system, some bruises but loaded!! The trouble is I do not know which to sell? I dont know what each is worth I like the 95 and 2wd doesnt sell very easy around here... I just need to sell one of them as I cant keep them both. What do you guys think each might bring?

Hard to say if you don't put a price on them. Any truck any where will sell for the right price. If you really love the 98 chances are you will want more than many people are willing to pay, so it might actually be easier for you to sell the 2wd if the price is right. My . 02
 
Well I had the 95 on ebay and was hoping for ~8K but it didnt get any bids not even at 7K which I couldnt believe... The 98 I know is desireable but I have it just about converted to WVO and I am hesitant to try selling it as I know how rare and special it is... Was the 95 price too high? What do you guys think the 98 would bring?
 
I personally think that's high for a 2wd reg. cab. But you never know. I do know it's high for ebay. Remember when buying sight un-seen people are looking for a deal. I have bought a few trucks there over the years and even though I got a good price I was un-happy with every one in one way or another. Your local trader or the classifieds right here might be a better choice. On the 98 the veg. conversion will actually scare some people away. Fear of the un-known. I have seen stock ones going for around 14K depending on condition and if you have the right truck for the right buyer in the right condition the sky's the limit... .
 
Ya the 98 isnt fully converted yet, things are mounted but it would be pulled out anyway to go in the 95 if I sold it. You are probably right about ebay for the 95, the truck is in REALLY nice shape and i dont think people fully realize it with it being on ebay, but the 2wd made me think i needed to offer it up outside of new england... Ive seen some really crazy prices on the 98's on ebay but there is also a lot of variance in it... Im just hesitant on dropping another $100 on an ebay listing but i think selling the 98 might pull a tempting amount...
 
I'd remove all references of the vegtable oil fuel (scares paople), drop the price and re-run the '95. It is clean (I wish my interior was in that good a shape) and you might find a buyer. I would wash it and retake pictures though, it's a little hard to tell what is bird poo and what could be damaged paint.
 
I would keep the 98. Great color!

Seriously, I prefer the interior, it's 4x4 (important for me back in WYO) It's a quad cab (I've got the club) and mileage isn't too bad.

Sell the 95 and then start trickin the 98. Plate, GSK, Intake, exhaust, clutch, timing, (gages of course), 370s and let her rip...
 
Basicly I'd want ~$13,500 for the 98 or $7,500 for the 95, at this point i dont care too much on which I sell but I am not sure which I have a better chance of getting what I want for them...

if you are just looking to get the best return the 98 is the one to sell. If you are just trying to get rid of one I'd sell the 95 because the 98 has the bigger pump is 4x4 and is a quad cab
