Thanks everyone for the replies, I really appreciate it.
I was worried that $8900 was too much.. it 'looks' awful straight, but I haven't really inspected it yet. Talked to the owners last night and am going to go take a look at it tomorrow evening. Depending on what I see, I thought I may offer 5k, but I don't want to insult anyone and almost feel bad doing that... that's almost 4k less than the asking price!
Personally I think the interior is hideous. I'd like to put a bench seat back in it. I'm thinking black with red carpet, black dash, red steering wheel.. See I'm already thinking about what I want to do to the damn thing and I haven't even made an offer yet!
72Blue: Your truck is awesome. That was a great deal.
I guess I'll keep looking..
TwoFifty: You're right, I AM in the rust belt. I'm afraid to look under this thing.
Anywhere I should look in particular for rust thats hiding? Which parts of these trucks are notoriously bad for rusting out?
