I'd say an offer of $2500 to a max of $3k should buy that truck.

With the bubbles under the paint on the hood it tells me that the metal has let go there from the inside out. It wouldn't surprise me to find that the front inner fender liners had rust near the core support under the battery, and maybe some starting on the bottoms of the fenders again from inside out about to pop through. the rust behind the tire on the bed is another indicator of that to me. Usually all those spots start going bad around the same time.

The interior looks dried out, door panels, seats, not sure if the dash is cracked up... prices are down and for $4k to $5k these days you're buying rustfree and redone interiors, rebuilt or crate motors/trannies and sometimes new paint...
