Now you're getting some place.  If it takes a year to sell a truck, the price is outside the market value.  Pure and simple.  It's not at all hard to sell a G if you're asking a fair market price - witness Brian T's 617A converted SWB last month.  Just speaking of what I know of the market based on a lot of people asking me to look into these things, if the body is as perfect as it seems to be, this is probably a $9,000 truck to get it sold within 6 mo. in today's USA market.  If one had to turn it over in a month in an emergency, $7k would get it done.   A 16-20k asking price is just making it aparent that the seller is really not committed to selling it, or waiting for a sucker.  Unfortunately, what someone might have paid for something has absolutely nothing to do with what they might be able to sell it for.  And IMHO, "what it's worth" is only what you can sell it for in under a month on the "for sale" market.  All these are statements about the general market.  There are always exceptions where an individual is willing to pay outside market value for something for personal reasons, but if one is waiting to fid that one person, that's a choice made by the seller, not that "G's are hard to sell".
