Lookin at a few trucks
So i sold my 72 cheyene super the other day and im looking for a new one already. Only reason i sold it was because its 2wd and winters here get pretty interesting, needless to say im looking for a 4wd 67-72.
http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/3000601564.html what do you guys think. i called him and said he would be flexible. Guess im just looking for advice thanks |

Re: Lookin at a few trucks
If that truck runs and isn't a rust bucket, I say it's a no brainer..
Of course I am very new here so what do I know? |

Re: Lookin at a few trucks
You need to take an in-person look at it especially underneath, the windshield frame, the toe boards where they meet the floor, cab corners, rockers, - you know all the common problem areas. Does it run, stop, and drive well? Have a good title? After assessing it, you will be able to make a decision if it is for you.

Re: Lookin at a few trucks
Whats wrong with the first one? I called on it to see if it was a CST, its not but still seems decent. Did you look at it. The second one looks pieced together which probably means its had a real hard life.

Re: Lookin at a few trucks
Looks good. Repaint the wheels or put new rims on and it would clean up real nice. Its even got AC, power steering and the original hubs. Id look at it and the first one you posted and lean towards whichever drives the best and has less rust down low (supports, fender cups, etc).

Re: Lookin at a few trucks
If you made enough on your last sale, buy both the first and third one and have two (one backup). Those prices are pretty good (compared to what I see down here in Texas).
