Yep you're correct. But there are some deals out there as well. I come across them from time to time myself. You just have to look around.

Been seeing a ton of nice trucks in the south Tennessee and north Georgia areas for prices ranging from the insanely cheap, to the absurdly expensive.

I have a question for you guys: There are many common abbreviations that people use in advertisements for their vehicles, such as "OBO" for "or best offer." Every now and then I'll see the abbreviation "JKS" in an advertisement, and I have no idea what that means. Here is an example: 78 F250 4X4 jks Can somebody tell me what "JKS" stands for?

I only know it as "jokes" but not sure if it is the same reference.

There are some sharp eyes looking that truck over for sure.

The driver side inner fender panel is crushed with a poor attempt to semi straighten. Notice the kinks and low spots where it mounts to the fender just behind where the aux bettery tray would sit. And the huge crush point right about where the hood hinge mounts. Then there is the ( I can't believe that Rich didn't pick this one out) body lift. No one caught the hockey pucks (so to speak) mounted on top of the rubber isolators. And the last big deal item to cause everyone to run away from this truck is the missing FMVSC sticker from the driver side lock post. I just wonder ho bad the inside of the bed looks on this beast.

I'm not saying it's bad but my uncle use to do a lot better.

Some sucker will buy that baby and be REALLY disappointed when it gets delivered half way across the U.S.

WTF WTF!?!?!?!? LOL, before buying anything used look at every detail of it.

The electrical tape job is awesome under the hood. You can tell the motor hasn't seen fresh paint in years (except valve covers). Some sucker will buy that baby and be REALLY disappointed when it gets delivered half way across the US.

Interior colors are off, 4 spf shift know and xfer case **** goofy looking. Pedal covers....FAIL. Aftermarket fender lip liners FAIL.

6:37 Passenger side park light out. Antenna is wack angle. X2 on the wrong year mirrors and mounted wrong and the dash bezel and glove box liner are miss matched.

Cool tunes during the drive, I want to hear the engine and exhaust. I got tired of looking. X2 on all that stated and at least straighten the cross member before you paint it for 13.500. lol
Have to agree on the tunes.....for that kind of dough, I want to hear the truck.

It may not be a good value to those who know these trucks for sure, but $4k rigs are a lot more shabby than even this frankenstein.

The reason for my post is to show what a good ad will do for you......hence the current 16 bids with the top bid at $15k and going up.
