If that is a Gremlin in the background, I want to hear more about it. If it had the love the truck had, would be fun to see it!

I can see why it looks like a gremlin... it also looks like a 68ish mustang

Nice truck, unless it has mechanical issues, looks like a good buy, when I first saw this post I thought of this truck

Re: does anyone have info on this 87 square body

Went to see this truck this afternoon, guy has it on craigslist houston for $11,000. only LOOKED at the outside and underneath it not even 5 min and left. It needs a paint job, rust spots, frame very dirty,wheels dirty, bumper mounts have been cut out , holes from bed rails still there, bed is crapy i just stop looking cause it didnt look like a $11,000 truck. most i WOULD do is $7,000 needs some work.. and he says the less he can do is $10,000. GOOD LUCK ON THAT..

Makes you wonder why people dont tell you the true condition before you drive out because the minute you look at it you will see the flaws. I looked at several too for 5 minutes and left, hell one I didnt even get out, just stopped...looked and left.

keep looking something will turn up

That just tells you you can't trust pictures. It looks perfect in the pics.
