Here is the link on craigslist to the truck. Is it worth what this guy is asking?

With just the pics I would say yes.
That bed alone looks like a $800 bed.
The sheet metal looks solid.
Transmissions can be changed if you wanted an automatic.

But...I would want to look at it in person.
Check for rust inside the cab at the upper windshield area.
Check the rockers, fenders, and floor pan for any serious rust repair.
Another plus is it's a one owner

As mentioned ... if the truck is as solid as the picture show...I would buy.
The owner might even negotiate a little.

I'll let other chime in.

Cool truck! Just make sure that the frame is okay...you know what the Jersey salted roads do to these things! That would be my main concern

Good luck with it!

He says he knows what it is worth

and he is probably right. Looks like a good truck from here.

Looks like a reasonable asking price. Offer him a little less and meet in the middle.

Looks like a nice clean original truck,if that is the original paint and the rust is'nt that bad I would be on that in a heartbeat.
