Well, it looks real nice from the pics, good price if the truck is as good as it looks in the pics, just have to take a close look at it. I looked at a few before I got mine and they looked great in the pics and a few feet away, but after taking a close look them almost seem like the paint job was hanging in mid air, if you know what I mean...

Looks and reads a lot like the one I just bought.

Look at it close. Drive it. Ask lots of questions. Even if they seem simple-minded. Remember that most problems or doubts the seller had about the truck become your problems and doubts once you buy it. Don't let your dreams about the machine blind you.

I'd look at the rockers, cab corners, cab floor supports, and bed floor supports for rust.  For the time and money of fixing serious rust I would change every mechanical component on a vehicle.
