No bondo besides on the front fender. The rest is just a "film" to stop the peeling and rust. The rear door is just missing clear coat.

Clean body and 5.4 would equal around 6k here

Down here a 5.4 with 4wd, and clean body is closer to 4k. I'm telling you I work in this business everyday, you will see 2k on average. 3k if your luck due to the rust. Rust is one of the scariest things car dealers look at. You can have a spec of rust due to a rock chip and you can knock 1k off the trade in price instantly.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I know the used truck market is extremely regionally dependent

If you want real dealer trade pricing go to galves.com

KBB and and any other consumer website is a joke. Remember, dealers can play with numbers and make it look like you are getting a good trade yet your purchase price is crappy. Good luck but checkout galves!

I should mention, I'm in the Philly subs; trucks are inflated in price here a bit.
