The body needs to be in perfect shape, all rust repair done and a great running gear. Im not too worried about suspension bc mine is pretty much complete.

This is a really good web site and they can set-up delivery too.

Yeah....some of those would really concern me like the door bubble and the crack/bubble at the wheel well (bondo?)

The ad says: "frame-off restoration done a little while ago" - what's that mean? Sometimes it's what isn't said that matters.

WWotr, I hear that. I usually don't drive my wifes because its an Accord, and I have to adjust from tiny to big everytime to drive it. Plus, its too smooth, always driving to fast in it and don't know it.

You got a smokin deal on that truck anyone who doesnt think so hasnt priced a running driving swb with decent paint lately. Hell even nice longbeds are getting hard to come by for less than 6k. Great Buy.

You think that's an aftermarket door on the PS? It looks like it's way out of alignment. And I think the cracks are definitely bondo.

Bottom line, though: Even if it needs $_K in bodywork, it's still a killer deal.

Didn't that truck belong to a member here before?

That would be awesome if it did... I would love some history of the build. There is a hot rod company, out of tenn, sticker in the back window... I called them and he said he doesnt remember the truck.

Sharp looking truck man! I think you did great. I'd pay $6k for it, no question.

Helps explain the paint.

If you can get a member in the area to check this truck out and it is what they say it is... I would pull the trigger! I like this truck a lot for $5500!

Also I would search up to $8500-$9000 advertised cost. Mine was bought for $6500 when the po advertised as $8500 in CL. I was just very nice and honest and told him I LOVED his truck but only had $6500 in the bank. Just tell them the truth that your wife gave you a budget and hope they are married and understanding, and need to get rid of it. Then be prepared to walk if they won't sell it for the budget you have.

Love it, but I would lower it a Tad More in the Rear and call it "Dream Cicle or Cream Cicle", just like the Orange Ice Cream Bar. See ...every vehicle I've owned has had a Name/Theme to it.:metal:
