Looks like the truck a solid body, but a little steep with a blown motor

Heater63 · 01-05-2012, 05:08 PM

LOL. They always look solid with a fresh coat of primer hiding everything. I would expect to find lots of bondo or rust under that primer. Blown motor= Awful steep price in my opinion.

kevinc · 01-05-2012, 08:34 PM

Interesting, but I agree, 2x the price.

Be careful of buying stuff off Craigslist.
Not everyone shares the same opinion of what is in "good shape" and what is not and pictures dont always show the real story.

I learned that the hard way thanks to a regular seller from San Diego. Sometimes an education is expensive.

McCoyAZ, Did we buy from the same guy? My truck is more bondo than metal!

I drove this truck over a month ago. Transmission and brakes were also shot. A dealership was selling it for some reason. It broke down during the test drive. I offered them $500 to relieve them of a headache. They said no, so I drove to abilene and bought one that runs. Made it all the way back to austin in fact.
