To buy or not to buy?

[redneckchevy]

Hey y'all, i have been going back and forth on buying a truck.

Its a 1979 (K or C, don't remeber) 20, its got 9 inches of lift, 37" tires (like new) he built a 355 with mild cam for it not the long ago (its got like 3,000 miles on the engine), he took out the bench seat and put in 2 buckets, needs new front wheel bearings which he has, one of the lockouts doesnt work, ($80 bucks for new lockouts for both sides and it needs the brakes redone, ($100-120)

Now the things that are holding me back are its a manal tranny, now i have no prob with that in a car but i dont like it in a lifted truck i think they fail to fast in a lifted truck and i work with the guys brother and i know this guy beats the crap out of all of he's stuff so i'm not sure what would brake after i fixed all the stuff thats wrong.

He said he would sell it to me for $1,000

What y'all think?
