I have a buddy that is selling an 84 Scottsdale. I believe it has D44s front and rear, but not too sure. It has been sitting for about 2 years with the tranny out of it due to leaky tranny fluid. He fixed the tranny and the truck runs, but i sure as hell don't thing it is worth $2k, i mean it is just an old run of the mill Cheby with a 350 in it. What do you think the right price should be? I was thinking around $800

$800 sounds good, It will not have dana 44's it will have 10 bolts front and rear.

If the motor runs, and the body is in good shape it is worth about 2g.
hell the beds go for $500-$800 if they are in good shape.

I will have to take a better look, but the front had a little fender bender that destroyed the pass. headlights and bumper. The color is shit brown, and very faded. Are the corporate 10 bolts decent axles? I usually on deal with Rovers so i need some help with the strength issues of the Chebys.

Do you have a shop on HWY 72 there in So. Pitts? I travel that way from time to time to see my parents near Chatt. and I always see this shop with a bunch of kick-ass Rovers out front.

As for the 10-bolts......they do not hold up well to the additional weight larger tires provide. Especially under a full-size rig. 33's are about the max for heavy-footed 4-wheeling with occassional breaking. 35's can be managed but it will require a lighter foot and it comes a matter of "when" you break, not "if" you break. Although some people around here are running them under Sammi's w/ 36 -38's and having a good deal of success with them.

If you are looking for something to run around town in and hit the occassional trail with, keep the 10-bolts, limit the tire size to 33" and buy some spare parts. If you are looking to make a new trail rig, an axle swap would be close to the top of my list for mandatory modifications.
