Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
I was thinking of taking a look at that one too but the roof rust is a concern.

Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
If it didn't have drip rail rot thru, I'd say buy it. That rust is quite extensive unless you find another clean cab to swap out.

Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
Keep looking. Mine will do a burn out, but the engine is tired...has blowby but otherwise runs decent. There are better trucks out there.

Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
I saw that one too and thought it was a good deal! Didn't notice the rust though-Id pass on it. There are MUCH better ones to be found here in Cali. Keep looking or you'll kick yourself latter...

Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
...looks like a good daily driver if you can score it for say....$3000-$3200.
Then drive the wheels off of it until it drops. BUT....I wouldn't invest any appreciable amount of money in it with the roof looking like that and that would definitely not be a restoration candidate for myself. However...to drive and use...go for it. All Good Coley

Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
If you could get it for say a quarter[$2500] then put a clip top on it and your good to go. BUT with that roof like that makes you wonder what the rest is like

Re: second opinion og craigslist truck
I'm with everyone else. They had me, until I saw the roof rust. I would also want to look at the bottom side of the bed.
