Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
What does he want it? How does it run? It is a well optioned truck, but it going to extensive rust repair. I would be figuring on a cab swap if it were me. How is the bed and tailgate?

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
It is a Highlander plaid trim truck per the SPID. The door panels were either swapped or had the trim added. The correct highlander trim would be a white panel and armrest with the chrome trim ring. The wood glove box door is just an incorrect sticker. On a Cheyenne Super it is a woodgrain finished insert attached to a chrome bezel that is attached to a painted door. Rust is aregional thing but that looks bad in the expensive places. Torn down engine too. Repaint is probably hiding a lot more. Without overall pictures its hard to tell, but that is rapidly becoming a parts truck from where I sit.

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
Looks like $1000 truck if its all there, maybe $1500 if it was running and driving. Need more pics to say, but it looks pretty rusty.
Did you say he wants $5000? Lol You can buy a running driving, air bagged truck with no rust for $5000 if you look around. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
If it was me, I would pass. If you want a good truck and have the ability, go out west and get a good truck. You"ll save alot in body work alone.

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
Definitely pass. If you can see that much rust there is 10x as much hidden.

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
Politly pass on it. The trim on the door is added and the glovebox has a sticker that's wrong, definitely a High Lander. The 5k is too much, just like the rust. It's a parts truck

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
As stated, pass! I purchased a short bed in Texas, because the bed was in perfect shape. The cab was bad though. I had rust on the firewall like that, and it went into the heater area, rusting both the inside and outside layers. It also had rust under the lower door hinges. I priced it out, and not including welding and time the panels cost over 1k. I got a rust free cab in perfect shape for 500 delivered.

Re: prospective new truck. opinions,concerns price?
It was in good spirit gasoline. Wife was playing candy crush kids were in bed and I had free time on my hands. Text gets taken wrong sometimes. But I'm pretty dry so even in person I'd probably get taken the wrong way.
