Prices vary considerably depending on the overall condition and, of course, whether it's listed as running or not. Winch trucks are extremely rare and M1079s are going to be twice or more than a M1078. If you can find one locally for sale by private owner then consider the advantages of being able to test drive it, ask questions about what needs done to the truck, have a title in hand, and not have to pay someone else to ship it for you. GP is a crap shoot. They do more indepth than GL ever did but they're not going to go to extremes to find out what may be wrong with a truck listed as "won't start" other than check the batteries and try slave starting it.
