Is This Worth Hopping On?

This is posted on the other forum that I'm apart of and I'm really thinking about jumping on it. The only thing I don't like is it's already chipped, modded, and already lifted. I know for the price it's a steal but I wanna see what you guys think about it, thanks.

That's a nice looking truck, the rust is a big deal and a bit too much lift for my tastes but that just me.
Big tires are expensive so if you plan on replacing the tires with a similar size, be prepared for $1100-$1200 for good tires.

Haha yeah I know how hard tire prices can be, my current truck is also lifted. The rust was a big deal for me too but he said it's only in the rocker panel so that can be changed out. Is that really as simple as it is? What got me is how low the price is for a 7.3 with that low of miles.

sounds like you will have a couple things that will have to be done as soon as you get it. check for maintence records. make sure recalls are done. The truck looks good. I am concerned about the maintence. GOOD Luck

That truck has cancer and he's rattle canned over it all to cover it up. The frame has already started to pit and bubble and will soon start flaking away like one of those Pillsbury biscuits. I wonder what the oil pan looks like. Run away.
