Default Is this a good price for my truck?

I've got a '95 CTD dually, regular cab, 2WD, almost 228k, some rust, the usual dings/dents, power windows, locks, mirrors, seat. Also has cruise, tilt, A/C, 100 fuel plate, killer dowel pin fixed. 5" straight exhaust was put on last winter from the turbo back. New starter last year.
The bad: will need 2 front tires eventually, a throttle cable (current one is fraying), auto trans feels like its' getting worse, & there is an oil drip from (I believe) the front cover on the engine. Its' also a bit wet around the injection pump where the high pressure lines go on. Also it has a valve cover gasket or 2 puking.

Would also come with a nicer rear bumper, a set of "spare" (shot) tires & rims, 2 brand new front brake rotors (still in the box) & 2 much nicer front doors that have some dents. & whatever else I had laying around for it...

I was going to ask $3500.00 for it if I ebayed it. I paid $5000 for it a little over a year ago & when it had 205k.

What do we think?

Thanks!

Sounds reasonable to me. I'd ask more and let someone talk you down. Or in ebay terms put a buy it now for $5K and set the reserve at $3.5K. See what you get.
