Sweptline.ORG

Howdy.
Wow seems like years since I have been some what active here.
Since selling both my Sweptlines, every time I see one, vary rare in this city , I think
of this forum and members . I did make some freinds here and do miss ......well crap going to get
soppy.
Life happens we go on.
Also I have a good freind and neighbor who is in very ill health and needs to sell a
1971 Dodge 400 with a large work box and low low original miles, around 57,000 He is the second owner
and used it in his landscape sprinkler business. It has been very well maintained over the years.
The truck has a/c and of course the 318 in front of a 4 speed. A California truck "no rust"
The reason I'm here is to get an idea of it's worth so I can help him with the sale ,as well as say hello to you all.
Got many photos .........here is one.

Do you have an idea of what he is actually wanting to get for that? I wouldn't mind having that, but putting a value on a medium-duty truck is tough.

Hewy's, keep coming back. I think of you every time I see turf green and that big Muppet.

Hey Chris, good to hear from you. Hope all is well. Best of luck helping your friend sell the truck, looks great! Check in any time.Chris.

Chris,
You'd look pretty good in this D400!...
I'm sorry to hear your neighbor is in poor health. If the truck
is all original and rust free, I'd think it would be worth $3500
to $4500 or so...

Nice to hear back.
Chris like John said I would look good in a D400, that goes for you also.
What a business eye catcher , imagine you company info in suttle Gold Leters
Patrick, I'm putting together a more detailed ad and post it in classifieds.
Ya Wally I know you always liked my 64 Green Turttle
Best regards

Hi Hewy, really good to hear from you. As to vaue there was one on craigslist local that seemed to be a very good comp. It was advertized at 2,500.00 I felt it was a super purchase price. It probably could have been 3,500.00 and still very legitimately priced. Gordo

Gordo.I'm thinking to set it $4000 and see if there is interest, I know the history
of the truck and the owner who is very meticulous about maintainance and use.
Great to hear from you.
Hewy

Hewy, keep us posted on that truck. I have a small business and that thing would be awesome. Shoot me some pics if you get the time. I would like to see what the inside of the box looks like, thanks, andrew. slicknapier@yahoo.com

Right on in many ways. It Has good value and you are in an in a well earned excellent position for the arbitrator of truth. God loves our Sweptlines and our Hewy"s for sure.. Gordo

That has the makings of a killer RV of some sort. Put a roof on it like a VW Westfalia camper van has,maybe. I like this truck. I think $3,500 - $4,000 is a reasonable start point on price. Any idea on fuel mileage? This would be a great Cummins swap candidate!

Miles per tank ? No idea but probably lots.
The box is all steel with outside lockable cabinets. Inside has bins and cabinets for storage, as well as a sliding roof for stand up,
work or play .
