Default Getting ready to list a 59k original miles 300 inline 6, what should I ask?

Hey folks, long time lurker here. Started a family last summer, so we needed a truck with a backseat, so the old regular cab has to go. Having a tough time putting a fair asking price on this.

1992 XLT 4x4, Regular cab long bed.
59k original miles inline six, manual 5-Spd, manual 4x4 shift, 3.08 axle.
Dual fuel tanks, power locks & windows, A/C, cruise, class IV hitch.
PNW it's entire life and was originally my grandfather's truck, very mild rust underneath, runs and drives great.

Ask whatever it's worth to you. If someone offers enough, sell it. If not, keep it. If you don't want to keep it, ask less.

We had a 300 engine in 1979. The engine was like a tractor engine in that it had so much torque. And they never wear out

I paid $2900 for mine 6 years ago in Eugene, OR and it had 134k miles on it. It's a 2WD, same engine and tranny as yours. I would think somewhere in the 2 -3,000 range for yours too. Good luck!!

Issue is the stick shift. Many people don’t know how to drive them, especially younger ones.

i got a 2006 Ram base trim, stick, shorty for $3000 , but it had 170k. Those 3.8 seem to run a long time. Has 190 now with synthetic oil.

If the paint was good, I would say it's worth around $5,000-$6,000 . Your paint is bad

Bigger issue is the 3.08 gears and manual transmission combo together. Practically worthless as a tow vehicle and the hitch is overkill for it’s rated capacity. Nice truck, though.
