running driving reliable 4spd bored over 350 with 90s captains chairs brand new tires. short bed gmc. if it was an hr away id buy it but its too far for me to drive and look at and get it home. driving her 2.5 hrs on the interstate would be lame and abusive on her. neat find. 7in lift. and $2500 in bearden ar.

The pictures make it look like a long bed to me. So hard to tell on those angled pictures.
I am guessing by the captians chairs in what you typed above you have emailed or talked to the owner?

38" swampers with detroit lockers front and rear sounds like a pita on the road. Probably an axle problem waiting to happen too. Body lifts never impressed me. Wonder how much legroom captain's chairs leave in the cab? Funny I didn't see "reliable" anywhere in the description either
Did you see he is selling another truck as well?

For $2,500 I could go to the new mud park. My Mall Crawler won't see this place.

If you are not willing to drive a truck for 2.5 hours back home then you are in the wrong hobby. I have gone 4+ hours away many times to find good project trucks, you just have to plan your route accordingly.

Sounds like a frankentruck. Autozone trans. Think he is expecting a lot more than the truck is worth.

Too true. Made many trips the night/day before to have enough "on site" time.

Yes i talked with the owner quite abit. Its a short bed. I dont thnk its a body lift. Just suspension looks like. And im not driving it on that rough of interstate. The only way to get it home is interstate the whole trip. And a truck of this condition with no truck and trailer to save you on a breakdown im not risking it.

I texted the owner. Uses it to drive to his deer stand. I would buy if I had the time to drive there and back. Heck, I might of drove the K5 with my car hauler on the tow

I think that being on my 3rd truck im in the right hobby. I have a crappy dailydriver grandam and no truck or trailer to get it home especially in the case of a breakdown. And taking something like this on straight interstate drive isnt the best idea. After talking with the guy it seems road worthy around town and to walmart. Not truckin down i40

Did you talk to the guy then? I know a few people down in Bearden, my grandparents lived there for 40 years. Small town, so that truck wont be hard to find or get knowledge of.
It does look like a longbed though,,,,,and I would gather that toy has been used and abused.
