Then I'd have a pickup for going to the dump, etc.
That doesn't sound like a bad deal, but there are probably betters out there. 2 weeks ago I passed on a '77 K30 350/TH400/NP203/D60/D70HD for $1200, ran down the road great. May I recommend car auctions (not e-bay, real time)? There seem to be quite a few of them around here, and there can be a lot of screaming deals to be had.
My 2cents.
