Is this truck worth getting, I don't really know much about this year of trucks so I was wondering what you guys thought.

well... as a project, I'd say no. If for parts, then maybe yes if it has some stuff you want/need. I can't tell from the pic, but if it had buckets (I doubt it does, but saw something in the corner of the pic), they're worth it. Steering wheel, misc parts.... Maybe worth it if you want to part it out. For a project to drive - I'd pass on it personally.

Okay but what if you get it on trade for a lawn tractor? The main things I want out of it is the axles, engine, and transmission.

If the parts are what you need and the trade works for you then yes get it. You will be able to sell some of the parts that are left that you don't use.

Yeah that's what I figured too, but do any of you think any of the body is salvageable? And what do these trucks go for in this condition.

The seller chose his words perfectly. Parts, or selling as a "hole".
