i paid 1200.00 in 1983 for mine 54/3100 and had to have the engine overhauled because it would fog the whole neighborhood. i still think it was a good buy it came from southern indiana and had little rust. the first one i tried to buy back in 1978 was 75.00 but diamondplate was welded in to the bed and you could see thru the bottom of the doors it was a 55.1. ran good but to much work for me and the wife would not have in the driveway. ron
