Seems like a decent truck, but a vehicle with "Just needs a tune-up" in the ad, always worries me. You always gotta ask yourself: A tune-up is a quick, cheap, and easy thing to do to a vehicle. Why wouldn't the owner do it before putting it up for sale, so that he could get a good amount more for it?

I've never understood why people dont get things running right before they try to sell them either. I mean thats how I do it............But then again, I suppose that some folks dont have the ability to do it, or the money to do it and right now around here the economy is suckin' .........................Not trying to defend the guy but didnt look like too bad of a huntin rig to me either................

agreed id buy it for hunting, maybe the guy don't know how to do a tune up himself, and didn't want to spend money on it :/

Dang, I'd buy it, turn around and re-post the camper for 1k, give the truck a tune up and sell it for 2k. Its at least worth going to take a look at it and see what condition its in. See what exactly it needs as far as a "tune up".

I agree with the "tune up" . They think that covers them when it won't start or runs like total crap. Carb kit and wires/plugs don't cost that much and go a long way on a sale. I would walk away unless you could pinpoint the problem before you buy it.
