Re: Would you buy it?
Looks like a good deal. Check for repairs and signs of previous rust. The pictures show that it was cared for at one time or another. How much do they want?

Re: Would you buy it?
Looks like a very solid truck for $1500. If you want ac you can always add that. If you are in the market for a good clean truck at a good price that might be the one.

Re: Would you buy it?
It looks like a decent deal from here.
Just take a magnet and check for Bondo in all the usual places

Re: Would you buy it?
Took more pics...
He is in the process of rubbing off the primer down to the original olive color. It's NOT a 396, but a 454. He found that out when the starter went and he had to take it to Autozone to have them guess at it until bolts matched up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Video coming... |

Re: Would you buy it?
If I can be nosy, why did you pass on it?
It looked like a real decent buy out here on the left coast.
