J man · 07-09-2013, 03:58 PM

I would find out where all the rust is at, and then I would see if he would come down on the price no granted where you live determines price. To me it's a little on the high side.

that's just my .02

J man · 07-09-2013, 04:05 PM

Yea I'm thinking he's asking all that money because he just put a lot of money into parts. Where should I look for the rust, any specific or typical spots?

I can see the holes in the picture, bottom of doors, bottom of fenders, guaranteed there's more hiding. Pretty typical, even the Calif trucks get that rust in doors, cab corners, lower fenders, etc. These trucks came from the factory with rust

If it runs really good then it should make a good driver, offer $2000 firm
That's a lot of gas consumption for a daily driver

J man · 07-09-2013, 04:22 PM

2000 grand sure would be nice haha, how is 4wd on these trucks? Definitely a must have where I live

Where the windshield is when you lift the hood there should be a little piece of rubber look around there, check the bed, rocker panels, core support definitely a typical rust spot, hood. When you go look at it, and if you do look closely at everything for these trucks rust can be a little bit of a hider so don't think because it looks safe from rust that it is, so check everywhere possible.

I would say offer him $1,700 and go no higher than $2,000 it's not worth what he's asking for.

As far as 4wd I can't verify mine is a 2wd, so hopefully someone else can chime in. That'd be another thing to check make sure it works fine. Check for leaks, oil, make sure everything is nice and tight you can't ever be too safe with these trucks honestly.

*JCampbell* · 07-09-2013, 04:49 PM

If it were me, I'd offer $1,500 and walk away.

J man · 07-09-2013, 04:52 PM

Dang you guys are ruthless, I'm all about getting a good deal but nobody likes to get low balled. I guess its all apart of the car game. From what I'm gathering I'll probably pass on the truck

We're not trying to be ruthless or rude, but you had asked for our opinions of the truck and that's what were all doing. I mean I have a 2wd the people wanted 1700 for mine but I ended up buying it for 1300. It is part of the game yes but you have to remember it's a 2 way game they want to get the most but you want a good deal.

J man · 07-09-2013, 05:44 PM

Oh I'm not saying you guys are being rude at all. I'm thankful for your help, just meant that y'all want the best deal, and I respect that ha.

I'd get some pic's of the underside but that's me. In my area 2000 no more. I'd say that and walk if not. Dash looks good but bed isn't origional... Looks solid though. As far as 4x4 goes it strong as it gets simple. My opinion looks like a solid starting point if it runs and drives good... Big IF

If you take it out and scare yourself so bad you piss your pants, there's plenty of drain holes to let it out of the cab...

Brockwaykid · 07-10-2013, 09:25 AM

Oh my gosh, wish that truck was over here! I'd love to have that! my truck has twice the stuff to do to get it like that.

motornut · 07-10-2013, 11:16 AM

it would sell at twice that up here
depends on location location

Redcap · 07-10-2013, 11:22 AM

The asking price is ridiculous. That is a $1500 truck tops.

manimal · 07-10-2013, 12:22 PM

I would check out Cali for a truck....take a bus or train down,pick up a RUST FREE truck and drive it home!

manimal · 07-10-2013, 12:38 PM

check this out. This use to be my truck. I put 6" springs(new front and rear-NO BLOCKS),braided stainless brake lines, rebuilt tranny,went through the brakes/bearings, but that was about 8yrs ago. It still looks the same as it did when I sold it to this guy!

im coming out west to get a truck!! around here a $1500 4x4 has been sitting in a field for 15 years!! here in south ohio thats a $3500 truck!!

now if it was a 2wd, it would be a $1200 truck, but since its a 4x4 it would demand a premium!

mtnsackett · 07-10-2013, 10:06 PM

Being that I am from Montana, I know that most people in that area figure that a running 4x4 is always worth at least $1500 I agree with everyone here that it has issues and you can easily see some in the pictures and rust is not an easy fix especially the cab corners and the rocker panels. I would offer the guy between 15 and 1700 depending on what he tells you he has done to it and even look on Classic KBB with all the options it has I would say that truck is in Poor condition and I would not pay anything over $2000 even if it has new tires and a new engine.

Sodell · 07-10-2013, 11:27 PM

So if you buy a "no op", I assume it did not pass emissions? Will it come with a regular title, I can bring it back to my state "no emissions testing" and will have no problem with Cali and the title?

manimal · 07-10-2013, 11:36 PM

Yes it would come with a regular title...just not current registration..hence the NON-OP....

Sodell · 07-11-2013, 12:20 AM

Got it, thank. I should have known NON-OP means no registration.

Zane M · 07-11-2013, 01:11 AM

With the rust issues, that is a 2k max truck here in "we love 4x4" country.
