i found a truck...

i took a look at this truck today its a 85 f150 4x4 4 speed 300 I6 short bed standard cab. it runs and drives, rust free replacement bed, cabs a little rusty. needs front brake line and the gas tank straps put back on. it has a 7.5 foot western plow that is very clean and works. now he wants 400.00 for the truck without the plow or 650.00 with the plow. i have 700.00 cash. good deal or not?

i would definatly jump on it with or without the plow, if it runs good and all that. make sure when he replaced the bed that everything was hooked up right, and it didnt get messed up in a wreck or something. im not so sure about how much a plow would cost, but seems you could sell it if you didnt need it for a good bit, but dont plan on making big bucks plowing snow, it usually doesnt work like that. 400 dollars for a truck like that if it runs good is a great deal, plus you could replace the cab with a rust free one for a rust free truck, but the frame and mounts might be rusting bad, so check for that too.
