A little fyi, concerning any craigslist find in California...
It used to be, any vehicle that was 30 years old, you didnt have to smog. So, today, a 1984 wouldnt need smog. But, Arnold Whats-his-Name, changed that to all vehicles 1975 and newer, need to be smogged in California. So all these rust free, especially Southern California, post 1975 truck can be bought way cheaper than posted.
If you see that they have mods, after market intakes/headers/air cleaners/no smog equipment, they cant be registered here, so are worthless to own here.
