TN Truck Values: What’s Climbin’ in 2025

Hey y’all, it’s Tennessee Truck Revival—where we’re keepin’ classic rigs alive with Middle Tennessee grit. I’m from Tullahoma, where my great-grandpa’s ’76 Ford Ranger—blue and white—hauled past Motlow College, and my ’83 Dodge D150 three-speed ground gears to Shelbyville, like I shared in my stall post. In 2025, classic truck values in TN are climbin’ faster than a Winchester barn find at auction. Whether you’re huntin’ a Squarebody for Lynchburg trails or an AEDC hauler, here’s what’s hot and how to prep ‘em cheap.

#1: Squarebodys Soar

Chevy K10s and K20s, like my K20 post, are gold—’73-’87 models fetch $15K-$30K in good shape. Fix ‘em with a carb rebuild kit ($25) and spark plugs ($15), per my carb post. A multimeter checks wiring—$20. Shelbyville swaps sell these cheap, as I noted in my junkyard post.

#2: Ford F-Series Surge

’70s F-100s and F-250s, like my Ranger, hit $10K-$25K. Leaky windows, a fix from my window post, need a weatherstrip kit ($25) and silicone sealant ($10). Polish with a microfiber cloth and polishing compound—$25. Tullahoma collectors love clean cabs.

#3: Dodge D100s Rise

’80s D150s, like mine, are creepin’ to $8K-$20K. Stalls, fixed in my stall post, need a fuel filter ($10) and screwdriver set ($15). Check batteries with a battery tester—$15. Lynchburg buyers want runners.

The Plan: Buy and Buff

Hunt at auctions or Winchester barns—use a flashlight to spot rust. Fix basics for $50-$100; values climb 20% yearly. My Dodge doubled after a $80 tune-up. Your rig’ll shine on AEDC roads or fetch top dollar.
