Be up front and honest. Don't low-ball him, and I wouldn't ask to buy just parts of it--nobody wants someone to part-out a vehicle on their property and leave the rest. Plus, he might think you're trying to scam him and say you just want to buy the bumpers, then steal whatever else you want off the truck.
Tell him you love these trucks, and would really like to buy that one from him.

Good luck!

Thanks! I feel like that is solid advice! I will let you guys know how I do. The truck is an hour away in another town. I was able to talk to a friend in the town the truck is in and he gave me encouraging info. So the plan is to go the first part of next week! Super excited and really hoping the guy will entertain the idea of parting with it.
