Went and looked at the truck this afternoon. Frame is bent really bad, and if you look at the pictures you will be able to see the rest of the damage, but looks like the owner is gonna sell the truck for parts. He wanted $1500.00 for the wrecked truck as a whole. If anyone locally in Mobile or close by needs and of the parts let me know i can hook u up with the owner.

He doesn't know what it's worth or he's fishing for a sucker.  Let him find out the hard way that he can't get $1500.

For what it is worth-talked to a guy at a car show yesterday and he bought a similar truck with a new crate tbi 350 with 2,500 miles for $800. He traded the tbi to an engine shop for edlebrock intake and carb installed on the motor and sold the truck for $400. There are trucks out there with nearly new motors and way better bodies for $1,500.
I agree, $500 tops unless it has a pretty special motor in it.
