That's not much rust at all IMHO!

If you have 25k to drop on another truck than you have 15k to refresh this one, but your call of course. I find STUPID good deals on diesel trucks 10k or under all over Canada so maybe you can too and then use this truck as the winter beater and keep the newer ride for summers?

For 25K I would expect close to pristine condition. It's literally rusted through. JMO

Edit, I see this is your current truck. Only the first sentence applies then.

Are those pictures of the black truck the one you are considering purchasing? Or the truck you are replacing?


For insurance, get an appraisal and an agreed upon settlement for a total loss. It surprising what these vehicles are worth now.

25 grand for a 2006 6.0 just seems crazy to me even though it's a nice looking rig. If you do 90% of the work yourself you can turn your current truck into a real beauty for less than 25 grand imho.

Maybe it's because the Facebook crowd doesn't like posting undercarriage or under-the-hood pics.

With lacking pictorials like that, it doesn't seem like they are serious about selling anyway.
