Short Fleet with a small back window standard cab. Very cool. The old bed wood is probably still underneath. You can have a new kit installed with bolts and bed strips if you do it yourself for about $500. Not that hard. I can find a donor fender in my area off CL in a moment's notice or get the repo for about $200 (not recommended unless your good with a drill) Talk him down to $4200 or keep looking. It has been lowered with aftermarket wheels and all so make sure the driveshaft is in line with the diff and tranny or youll burn up u-joints. Take a look under the cab and make sure the frame isnt welded on or rusted along with the cab supports and it would be a great starter project.
