I am curious if anybody can tell me what this thing may be worth. It is a w200 with a 383ci a 727 auto divorced what looks like a 205 a full float d60 in the rear , and a openknuckle drum braked 44 in the front. It is pretty damn clean but has alot of misc crap that needs fixing (door handles/locks dash guages wiper motor etc.) It was a d200 body swapped onto a w200 chassis , used to have a np435. Anyways I like the truck but it seems that parts may be a pain in the ass to find and or expensive? Any thoughts? Also the purchase price would be $1000 , and its all current , and smog exempt:D
thanks

If you decide to pass, how about letting me know where to find it. I have a sweet spot for that style of truck, especially with a 383 in it..... To bad the 435 is not still in it..

Nice truck....

I wrecked out one of those actually, a '71 w200, and got to keep anything I wanted for extracting the 383 :D

Kept the remote 205, front axle and the monster PTO winch. Strange yours is an open knuckle front - mine is closed. Might be more of a paste together than you think. Could not believe the axle tube thickness; looks like solid 2-3/4" stock drilled out just enough to fit the axle shaft. Wall thickness was a hair over 11/16" :eek:

My 2 cents.
