Thinking about buying this truck-Pics inside--Have ??s

[wugunguy]

Ok, Saw this yesterday in a u park/u sell lot. Stopped by, got the phone number and looked over it a little. Called about it-got more info.

Here is what I know/they told me.

1971 body with 3/4 ton chassis-don't know year
rebuilt 350 original engine with 60000 on rebuild-not sure if bored over
new starter
new fuel pump
runs pretty good-I drove it
has tilt column-not on SPID label
kind of hard to shift out of park-I think it's in the column
4 barrel carb-kind???
4x4-told it works fine
Has ac but not hooked up-owner told me that PO told her it worked-who knows

nice seat
nice shoulder belts with bowtie emblems-not original
frame has tow hooks-not 60-72 style though-not sure what they are
current owner has had it 1 year-only driven 5 times
previous owner usually just took it to shows

driver door panel-needs a new one
radio slot has been cut for cd player

Paint-what I would call excellent condition for this area-hardly any rotten spots, bed has some minor pitting but couldn't see any daylight through it

Title matches VIN on doorjamb

Weland intake on engine

said they bought it, had oil leak on heads-took to shop, shop said they were wrong heads for engine-had been 'reworked' to fit' ??-shop said didn't work-put heads on to fit engine.

no knocks in engine, tranny shifts ok.

I'll attach some pictures too.

My questions are:

1. Does the 3/4 ton frame swap 'de-value' anything?
2. Is there certain things I should go back and check out due to the swap?
3. They are asking $5000 and won't budge-good deal? I don't know how the frame swap affects the value?

now to the pics.
