4k into any vehicle will make it a good sound DD. 4k into our trucks is beyond that. Especially with a good base to start from, like yours. How much do you plan on putting into paint? It could eat that 4k fast.

I have no intent to make it a show truck but do want it to look nice.  Have a Friend who paints for a living and is willing to help me.  I think I will do most of the sanding and prep work and he will do the painting.  That will be about 1200 for paint and his labor.  Then I want a spray in bed liner and that is about 400.  And the rest will go into the inside to get it back to as new as I can. New dash, headliner seat ect.  Does not take long to eat up 4k but that is all I have budgeted for the project,.

  For my area that is a grt deal on that truck.  In California, Sac to be exact, you would pay $1000.00 for any truck that would at least make it to the end of the driveway, let alone a dd.  Nice find.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Nice truck for just under two stacks. I'm still kind of amazed how lucky I am that I've never paid more than $950 for one of our trucks. And all but two of my drivers have been shortbeds

Good lookin' truck.
There are two tools needed, duct tape and WD40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD 40.

Very nice looking truck - I'd grab it.  Where abouts in Oregon are you?  I'm just outside of Portland.
