I recently bought an 80K mile 86 1/2 ton short wide GMC with V6, AC, PS, and PB for $1575. The body is mostly rust free, has rust popping on cab corner and on outside of doors. I drove it home from Louisville to Indy and have been driving it daily since.

My advice is don't start too low on the food chain in an effort to save $. I bought this cheaper than I could have repaired the rust on my 84 short stepper.

I am guessing this truck went cheap because of the V6, single headlights, and cheap interior.
