Re: New guy looking to buy first square body project, need advice.
Welcome to the site, neighbor! I live on the NE side right now, and just bought a house down the road from you in Marion. I have had my '86 for about 10 years...
I'm going to disagree with most of the folks on here and say it isn't automatically a great deal. It would be if it was a running truck, but after 10 years, I would be willing to bet that he can't start it. I would go into the deal assuming that it needs an engine and a transmission because he can't prove otherwise. Unless he can make it run, price it accordingly.
At the very least, make sure it will turn over. The engine could be seized after sitting that long. I would also look under it and make sure it isn't rusty from sitting so close to the ground.
Oh, and remember, these trucks are everywhere in San Antonio. If you can't get this one for a reasonable price, there are plenty more out there.
What car is that in your avatar? I have a '37 Chevy in addition to the truck.
