I might be able to help with transportation I live in riverside cal but I work in pleasanton cal, I come home every other week. the only problem I have is that I would have to get a hitch for my truck, then you could rent a trailer and then I could take it to your friend in san diego. Let me know if I can help.

Really appreciate that. Im going to pass on this one. I am just not comfortable purchasing a vehicle hundreds of miles away from me without inspecting it first. Seeing as I cant get time off work to go check this out I am going to keep looking.

pestwagon · 12-18-2012, 02:27 AM

its been for sale for several months....I passed and bought mine a few months ago (El palomito there's a thread...I spoke with this guy about his truck. Months ago he was gruff...didnt really want to speak...maybe now that its been a few months he's talking. It is a nice appearing vehicle though...He was asking $5K then...

jonzcustomshop · 12-18-2012, 06:58 PM

I would keep looking... 4k is alot, the truck has been repainted- check out the grille surround, and notice that the interior is body color now....looks like a tin patch on the lh footwell?

I wouldn't spend that kind of money without putting it on a lift, and I would have an experienced bodyman with me.

LT1 Burb · 12-18-2012, 08:30 PM

Thats a 2500 dollar truck, tops.

Sillyoldman · 12-18-2012, 08:52 PM

Not a knock I think the truck is in good shape for it's age. My thoughts are that the kick panels are rusted out (typical) which would lead me to believe that the floor pans also have typical rust along with rockers, cab corners, door bottoms and fender tips. I already know whats hiding under the bed mat. I'd be real careful and as suggested inspect it very closely.

Raider Rudy · 12-19-2012, 01:29 AM

Big back window, short fleet bed & runs! Looks like a good deal to me

Tramp1964 · 12-19-2012, 06:30 PM

They aren't making them any more. The only thing to determine the cost of anything is how bad he wants to sell it, and how bad you want to buy it. No matter what, if it's what you want, go for it. Later down the road, after you've spent a ton of money to get it the way you want it, what you paid for it won't matter.

shawno72 · 12-19-2012, 06:56 PM

gimmy 64 · 12-19-2012, 07:40 PM
