Sorry, I didn't put myself clearly. I want it to run okay. I'm not expecting it to run really good, just enough. I don't want to trick anyone. I will sell it as is and if someone is dumb enough to think it's running perfectly then they can have at it. When they are test driving it I think they'll notice it isn't running that great.

not cool to put that off on someone else and them thinking it is running fine! like stated above, disclose the issues with potential buyer and sell "as is".

Someone will buy it, how's the body, interior etc...People love these trucks and generally will have no issue buying a project truck. Be up front and you'll sell either way.

you sure it just doesnt need a tune up...?

I have had many a people come to my shop crying that another shop told them the engine was toast...

all it needed was a tune up...burnt wire or dead plug and cap and rotor thats never been changed...

I'm with everyone else in regards to deceiving buyers, just bad karma!!
As for your truck....post some info and what the problem is and maybe we can help you get it running right. Then if you still want to sell it, it may be worth that much more.
