74 dodge w250 adventurer club cab sport

What is this worth? I have no idea...

74 dodge w250 adventurer club cab sport.

It's got a 440 in it with 30K miles

Hard to really guess without a lot more info. and some pictures.        Condition, rust, ect., ect.

Club cab is worth less that regular cab (like half).
440 worth more than 318 (+30%).
250 worth more than 150 (+20%).
Does it have A/C?

I looked for a big block 250 forever, if you could find one prices were all over the place.
A nice clean D-250 long bed big block is rare as all get out, oddly all the examples I found were club cabs. Sadly, 74 club cabs were not the prettiest things Chrysler ever built. So many things affect value that the price range will be difficult to pin down without a lot more details and pictures. For starters I'd say probably $2000 at the low end for a running truck, and maybe as much as $5000 if it looks pretty good. The big hit being the club cab, just not very pretty.

How do I post a pic that's more than 200mb?

That one is a bit on the rough side. Location also matters, where is the truck?

[Texas_Girl]

I know it needs some TLC... I'm living in WA right now

[JB400]

$2,500- $3,000

[daveco]

Just by browsing craigslist for Seattle Tacoma, it looks like they are not bringing a lot of money up there.
Probably looking around $2000. But that really is a just a barely educated guess.

Looks like a cool truck to me.    I would rather have a club cab than a standard cab.
Opinions and prices are going to vary a lot.

Its not a W250.............

It's more like a W200. Not everyone is a "expert".
Peace.

Maybe the hood is from W250

That brings memories of my childhood when my dad had a 74 D200, that glovebox door was great for lunch breaks on the construction site!
Who needs cup-holders when you have a flip down table!

[Texas_Girl]

How do you know the difference between the two?

[FJMG]

The 74 hood was unaffectionately referred to as a "rain catcher" style because it had indents like the 68-70 charger except they were depressed in the center rather than the front.
My guess is the owner was tired of cleaning the water stain or the hood rusted in that area and the hood was replaced with a later style.

The later style, I think about 1979 and up was the '50' series (150, 250, 350) and the earlier style was the hundred series (100,200,300)

[Texas_Girl]

Okay so looking at the body though... How can I tell which type it is?

[red72chrgr]

Hate me if you want, I'd trade my 72 Charger for it. I regret getting rid of my 90 3/4 ton 4x4.

[69rtse4spd]

Eight lug rims, heavy 3/4 or one ton single. .

[Texas_Girl]

Hey I'll take the charger... I love the truck but chargers are awesome too!!

In 1974 (and other yrs in the 70's) they used the 00 series..........  100,200,300,400 so on and so forth.   D stands for 2wd and W stands for 4wd.  Your VIN will tell you everything you need to know. Its a W200. 3/4 ton. They did not make a single wheel 1 ton then.   They did have a normal 3/4 ton and a Camper Special 9000lb GVW version.   I have a 75 3/4 ton and a 74 Camper Special and its got heavier springs and lug nutz. My 74 is an absolute horse of a truck.  These trucks are starting to be looked at. There are replacement parts out there for them now to fix all the cab rust issues and most of the bed rust issues. The problem is these trucks were so good that they are simply used up and most are approaching death after all these years. Rust being the main problem.   I have collected parts for my 74 and hope to restore it some day. A piece of useless trivia......I have a brand new set of doors for this era truck. Never been on a truck or painted.

Was this a "factory 440" or swapped in?
If not, what was the original engine, hopefully a 400?
If swapped from a small-block, did they upgrade cooling etc?
I personally love the club cab, much more usable than std cab, and I think Dodge was first with this, maybe in 1973?
Always liked the looks of the rain catcher hood, like a '71-2 Road Runner!
Any factory 440 truck is a keeper!

Yes it could be a factory 440 truck. Your 5th digit in the VIN will tell you. Its actually a letter. Should be a D for 440.......

Jeez, I sold a 74 in perfect condition inside and out, 400 CI, 1 ton chassis, regular cab longbed, no engine or trans for 300 bucks....

No wonder it sold so fast.....

I just spent the day driving backwater Kansas.  If I saw one,I saw a dozen.   I was shocked.  They just weren't that popular back-in-the-day in Ohio.

A couple seemed to be drivers, but, the rest appeared to doa when it came to the body(like Todd said).
