Looking to get into a truck for 10K or less.....Any threads to help me learn more on buying one? Also anyone in the area I can pay to inspect?

 

That's a pretty nice looking truck for what I can see. Although the pictures don't show too much.
The first post in this thread, has good articles. The first three are great info on buying a truck.

hope the long bed running boards are good as no one makes replacements and good solid ones are expensive! Let me know if you need a set LOL

 

i had spoke to that guy. I dont think he is willing to let it go for under 10k. I told him that the vagueness of the listing along with the longbed will not command the 12-16k he thinks its worth. I love my longbed, but its not worth that much, and mine has a big back window.

You need to decide what you want; year, driver, restoration, etc. Im partial to a 56 with a big window, but thats me.

 

I suggest this one:
