At the asking price I'd want a clear and up to date title. Up to date meaning that the title is in his name.

Looking at the photos it looks like the main AD truck part you have to add in is a short bed box.

There are guys around who would swap you a nice short bed box for that 9 ft box and as the frame looks uncut they may want that as there is a growing group of guys who like the bigger longer.

I'm down as not being a fan of S-10 swaps unless you don't have a nice 3100 short bed frame so doing a swap with this cab and sheetmetal passes muster for me. I would highly getting a fully documented S-10 chassis though. Either buy a complete truck with a clear title as many on here do or get proper paperwork with a chassis if you just buy the chassis. Buying one from Bubba and Leroy out of their backyard with no paperwork off Craiigslist might be a bit shaky if the truck the frame came from shows up as stolen or has a lien against it from a finance company or bank.
