**NICE** !! .. but not $18,000 kind o' nice, IMO. I'd be in the $9K to $11K range of nice.

Very nice, but not 18k. If I didn't have 4 vehicle already i would give him like 13k top dollar.

That's a nice truck! But I'm not a big fan of the rims or side mirrors.

Looks nice, but for 18K I would expect the heater hoses to be hooked up. I know it's in AZ, but doesn't it ever get at least cool out there? What's up with the toggles (I assume), their freakin' huge! Also, why does a 70,000 mile truck need new everything? Like was said before me, 10-11K.

The mirrors look like factory mirrors from a later model truck. I have mirrors like that on my '90. There is no way I would even consider 18K for that truck. We have a missing wiper **** on a 18K truck? The part that I see as a real issue is the front clip. We either have a misaligned core support, bent frame or both. Notice the gap between the cowl & pass fender. Then on the left the gap is even but it closes as you move forward. This indicates the core support is high or cab is low with a twist left side high. You can also see it in the front bumper against the grille. I'm afraid I wouldn't do much more that $4K on this truck without more information. I could care less what he has in it. Again what is up with those awful toggle switches?

I don't like that the whole engine compartment was sprayed black.

Agreed, nice but NOT 18K nice! For that much it needs to be nearer to perfect than it is.
In that price range the buyer deserves to be very picky and it's the little things that will make or break a deal, the missing wiper ****, the missing firewall weatherstrip, the wrinkley right door weatherstrip.....and what's up with all those toggles?
Another thing, too much black in the engine compartment. Black hides a lot of "sins", leaks, poor workmanship, dirt, etc.
And I'll ignore the crooked horn button.

Nice rig, but certainly not 18K nice, it might fetch 8-10K on ebay.

Those ridiculous toggle switches look like they could launch nukes against North Korea.
