I have no idea honestly. It has all the original brackets and it fits exactly the same as the original I had in there. I also remember having to have them order in 3 different ones before we found one that fit correctly. I bought it from a local Car Quest, and their prices are high to begin with.
Like others have said, offer $400-600 depending on the repairs needed. You have to be the judge on that. How good are you with a welder? Do you have or have access to all the tools you will need to fix what needs to be fixed? All that stuff adds up. You have to factor in your time. Figure what you think it will take to fix it time-wise and double it. That should get you in the neighborhood for your time investment. Look at what parts you need to buy, and add 25% for small stuff that you will inevitably miss.
I cannot stress this enough do not buy this truck without an in-person shakedown! If you can look at it, carry something like an LMC catalog with you so you know what the parts are called that you need, what you need to buy, what they cost. That way you can go to the seller and know what your talking about, and how much it will cost just in parts to get it where you want it to be.
