I'm not sure I understand - "call hour"? "ag"?
If I assume that's "call for" and ignore the "ag", then an 82 with everything working is worth a whole bunch more than $375 without the hitch. I paid $300 for an 82 2wd w/a blown engine, and just paid $500 for an 81 4x4 with a bad clutch.

IOW, buy it w/o looking further.

Ahhhh! That makes sense. Thanks. Would edit not make it a better deal for me, but may you. In any event it is still a good buy.

I agree, that post is really confusing to try and figure out....

What is "gooseneck hitch for 375 opionions" supposed to mean? Now that I know what "ag" is supposed to be....

And, what is a "call hour?"

"Call hour" i guess is he will call the seller latter for more details. The rest sounds like it has a Fith wheel hitch and the asking price for the truck is $375. He also wants to know if it's a good buy? Just my guess.......

For $375...buy it. Around here, a complete rust bucket...regardless of the year...is worth $750+ if the engine turns over. Hell...a yard would likely give you $200+ for it if it didn't even run.

Scrap complete vehicles around me are fetching $435. So in other words buy it and drive it till it drops.

For $375 you could buy it, take it straight to the scrapyard, and make about $100. Of course it's worth $375!!

Definitely. I paid $500 for my F350 CC with 1 cracked head and intake. Rebuilt it and now I could probably get 2k out of it.
