Can anybody find a blue book value on a commercial truck?

I tried kelly, they don't list commercial trucks... This one is a van cutaway, with a 16" box truck body. 2003 model, VIN is 1GBTG31U531198. I am selling git for a friend who is dying of cancer, and just want to get an idea on value of similar vehicles. This one has 89,000 miles and is clean and in good shape. Also, If anyone can decipher the VIN, and tell me what engine and equipment is on the truck, that would be good, too. All I found on google was more confusion...

Make, model, specs would help a lot. You also could get a dealer to check for you by explaining the situation. Could also check truck paper .com and plug in the make and model and do a country wide search of trucks for sale.

It's a 2003 GMC G van with a 6.0L gas engine, by the VIN.

Dealer may help you, you could also go to a bank, credit union or agricultural lender as they have access to Blue Book/Black Book figures for anything they might have occasion to lend money on.

I had cause to look for a Blue Book value for a commercial truck for an insurance claim some years back. Unless something new has popped up since then, there is nothing available. The problem is there are way to many varities of commercial vehicles to have a single resource to cover all of them. For instance a van with a cheap body by maker X would be less desirable than the same van with a body made by maker Y. In both cases the van itself would be identical, with the only difference being the body maker. Then take into account the condition of the body, the options on it, etc, etc, etc, and there is no way to to give anything even close to a "book" value on a vehicle like that.

In my case it was a mechanics service truck. Between truck mfgs, engine and transmission combinations, wheel bases/sizes, GVW's, body mfgs, crane mfgs and options, welder and compressor mfgs and options, compartment layout and options, etc, etc, you can sort of get the idea of what I am talking about.

That said, as another post said, your best bet will be to do a search on sites like The Truck Trader, etc, and find similar trucks from your area, and across the country if need be, and get a median price on them based on age, condition, options, etc, etc. Beyond that all I can say is Good luck.

Maybe check the Ryder and Penske used vehicle websites? I would guess they set the standard for pricing that type of used trucks..

no blue book, as commercial trucks are usually outfitted for a particular use or job, truck paper.com is the best source to see similer trucks with similer equipment, condition is everything
