Thanks Mike. Since you all deal with these a lot...do you know a estimate of what it would be worth? it does start, run, and drive. i was going to install a wooden stake bed and use it for hauling wood and such. just curious tho if I over or under paid.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask that question. If I want something I tend to pay whatever it takes to get, not necessarily what its worth but if it's in good mechanical shape and can do the job you need it to do, I would say $2500-3000, with a lot of variation. Like real estate, the value of these trucks can vary wildly based on the location.
Ya done good and that bed looks like it will haul a lot of wood. I take it that you have a manual 4-speed with Low/Low granny gear? If so, you'll be able to pull stumps too.
Is it just me or is the right cab corner crushed on the cab? Either way it sounds as though you got a great deal. Congrats on that purchase. And you can always find a replacement cab or just a replacement cab corner and fix that yourself. Use it as a learning tool.
