Exclamation Looking For Opinion

I am looking for everyone's opinion.

I have a 1977 Dodge Tradesman (VAN) That is fully customized it has signs of ware and it is somewhat faded. The interior is all blue, its got a Bed that goes into a table, a icebox, and custom built cabanits. The engine is a 318 ci, 4bbl carb. Automatic. It runs good with 112000 highway miles. Its awsome for camping, and clam baking, lol.

I found a 1977 Plymouth Trailduster (SUV) It has a 383 ci, 4bbl, Automatic, it runs good, has a 12 bolt suregrip, and is in fairly good condition.

I could either sell the van and buy the Truck, or keep the van and screw the truck. Please help me make my decision. I can sell the van for like 1500 bucks, and but the truck for 2000obo. .

Please help buy replying to the post.

Only you can decide which one is of more value to you.

As far as the Plymouth goes, a 12 bolt rear is GM. You're probably looking at a Dana 60.

Although I do think my Power Wagon (76 W200) is cool, I am a van guy at heart.

Keep the van.

Biggrin Got the itch huh?

It sounds like you have the 'different wheels' itch.
Well, remember that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush. You know the van you have and you know all it's secrets. If you want something that won't catch you off guard keep the van. If you really would like a 4x4 and like the looks of the trailduster (I know I do) then go for it.
