Needs some work here and there but overall it's decent.

Looks like a nice solid truck!

Will do I'll take some in a few I got in late last night and thanks it does look solid just needs front end parts and minor stuff, says it has 194xxx miles but motor seems to clean for that not sure if it's original motor

You would be surprised. My 02 V6 has 197+K and is super clean (least on the inside) and my 94 has 257+K and it is very clean. A neighbor of mine has a 93 with 425K on the original engine and the speedo has been broken for the last 18 months. Taken care of these babies last forever!

By the look of the tires the front end needs some attention, and I'll end up repainting the truck as the clear is peeling of. What usually needs to be replaced on these trucks for the front suspension? I want to get it fixed and get tired and a alignment done so my wife can drive it

Do you plan on any suspension mods?
Either way I suggest replacing everything on the front end. All tie rods, idler and pitman arms, ball joints, control arm bushings, etc...

Just leaving it the way it is right now just want to be able to drive it
