What's it Worth Truck 440 exhaust manifolds

[Kern Dog]

Hello, I've had these cast iron 440 exhaust manifolds that came from my 75 Power Wagon.
No cracks. They sealed up fine and have the head pipes to ease a swap.
I advertised them on the Truck site but got no responses. That site doesn't have a lot of traffic so I didn't know if I had them priced too high or if there just weren't many people that saw my listing.

Sorry, I don't recall exactly what I was asking but I thought it was $150 for the pair.
Is that too much? What are these worth?
PLEASE, Do NOT make offers to buy here, if you're interested, PLEASE send me a PM.

I'll send you mine to go with them and maybe you can make an art piece out of them.

I've sold a few sets lately at 2-250 locally. Don't seem to last long. Big blocking trucks is becoming quite fashionable

What did you have them priced at Greg? I'd say $100 and take anything less. Too heavy to ship unless they are free.

I have an extra set of them as well. Have not tried to sell them since I have an extra 78 440 truck engine. I like them better than headers since they are center dump and don't leak. IMO worth hanging on to for less than 150 a pair. Somebody will need them.

And they don't even have the correct right side for a truck.

I am not sure of what I asked for them but I always try to price stuff at a reasonable rate and may be wrong with the stuff that isn't commonly found.
I thought I was asking $150 for the pair but I don't remember. Maybe I'll go to the site and see if the listing is still there.

EDIT:
Here they are:

Five years ago.

They do... it's the same for both sides. Look at kerns pics. But yes, wrong descriptions

Don't take this the wrong way either Greg....but presentation is the key to a successful sale. To me at first glance I see a badly organised BBQ plate with some odd-duck sausages on it.

Try cleaning the manifolds up a bit and get rid of the leaves and other background distractions. Make the purchase price and the parts look attractive.

Too often here on site we see pictures of dirty, greasy parts and the sellers dirty work boots or faded Crocs in shot also.

Presentation is key.

 

[Kern Dog]

I agree. Back when I took the pictures it was in a hurry. I thought these had greater demand than I thought. I wasn't as diligent as I usually am.

You need to make the buyer WANT those parts.

Looks like the left is mixed up with the right side? Been a very long time since having a big block older pickup.....

 

[Kern Dog]

These came from this truck:



I’m not a truck historian but this is actually a rare one. 1975 with a 440, steel crank and no emission controls, 4 speed with A/C sold new in California and originally painted orange. Like a dummy I swapped in a 727 before I rediscovered how much fun a manual transmission vehicle can be.
I swapped in headers not long after I got it. I saved the manifolds thinking I’d possibly put them back on if these headers rust out. I don’t know if anyone makes big block truck headers anymore. Maybe I should keep these manifolds!

Truck manifolds are the same casting both sides. The pt# will be different due to the heat riser being drilled

I think I have a pair of them up in my loft.

Good news and bad news…..they are worth some decent cash, probably about $260 for the pair, but I’ll ask my brother about that. He is seriously into Ramchargers. Anyway, the bad news is that you should be listing them on the many Facebook gen 2 dodge truck and Ramcharger sites. And cleaning them up would go a loooong way towards getting top dollar for them. If you’re on FB, look up member “Mike Slay”, he and another friend of mine are the foremost buyers and sellers of parts for trucks and Rammy’s, and they would undoubtably buy them.

I've had several pairs and am lucky to get 75-100.00 for a pair. I don't how guys are getting 250 for a pair. I listed them on Moparts and Joey's site for years and have been slow movers for me.

As I mentioned above, you have to go where the customers and enthusiasts are. Trucks and Ramchargers are super hot right now, just listing them on a car site won’t do it. As mentioned, if Greg contacted Mike Slay, he would not only tell him the value, but offer to buy them at a fair price. So would Ralph Decker. Those 2 guys combined have more trucks and Ramchargers than a person will ever see.

Well I vend for a living. I offer free delivery to many shows. Plus trucks are big here in the west. I sell a lot of truck parts, have for years. I've sold cabs, beds, rear ends, motors etc. Manifolds have always been a slow seller for me.
