Although it looks like it has a nice paint job, it still looks rough inside. It has a lot of new parts, so that says it had a lot of old and worn parts. Were the new parts installed correctly? Who did the install?

More importantly, what do you want? Is this the type of truck you are looking for? Do you like everything that has been done? You are going to want to make changes anyway, but how many? Would it be cheaper to buy a "clean" stock truck, and fix it up yourself?

You have to honest with what you really want. Personally I was really turned off by the interior....

With that interior id try to talk him down. Its pretty dang clean and all the work (if it was done correctly) to the engine/suspension would prolly make it worth your 4000-4500.

Is it factory carb or did he yank the TBI? There's a lot that has to be changed from TBI to carb, make sure it was done right. $5k sounds reasonable if you like the truck enough to pay it, but I'd still try to go lower.

Mine has been converted to carb, how hard is it? I know some things about the fuel pump and stuff.
